Is this News?

Why is it considered controversial for Tiger Woods to express respect for the President?  ESPN’s Max Kellerman and Stephen A. Smith had the audacity to lambaste Tiger on their show by questioning Tiger’s intelligence and blackness for making a nonpartisan statement that the office of the president deserves respect even if you don’t agree with everything the president does.  In addition to playing golf with Donald Trump, Tiger has played golf with George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.  Was he asked this question during any of those presidencies?

Trump-Hysteria[1]

This shouldn’t even have been news but, even today, listening to some pundits talking about this “issue”, it was said that Tiger Woods dodged the question.  So is this news?  It is the fundamental right of every American to have their own opinions and to make decisions as to whether or not to express them publicly.  Besides that, for these sports commentators to suggest that there are right and wrong opinions for a person based upon their race is in itself racist.  Why do they not see this?  The liberal media cannot stand it when someone disagrees with them.

Unbalanced news

If anyone is dividing this country, it is the mainstream media with their extreme liberal bias—refusing to report on any of the good that has come from this administration in less than two years.  Instead, they concentrate on political conspiracies that didn’t even happen on the right (two years of investigations and still, no collusion) while failing to report on the actual conspiracy that happened on the left (FISA warrants obtained to spy on a political opponent based upon an unverified Democratic-paid dossier compiled by foreign agents).   Every single day they seem to scream with outrage at something that just a couple of days later turns out to be nothing.  Whatever happened to just reporting the news?

In its annual confidence poll, Gallup found that “Americans’ trust in the mass media “to report the news fully, accurately and fairly” reached its lowest level in polling history, with only 32 percent saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media.”  And, this has been a steady decline over the past twenty years.

By the way, those cartoons were created by Glenn McCoy, a conservative cartoonist.
