Always interesting how the BBC presents the ‘Right’ in America…from the Tea Party to Sarah Palin and George Bush.
But it doesn’t stop with the three usual suspects…here’s one on Trump...Trump card – or is he a joker?…a report by Jon Sopel which declares that Trump ‘expressed openly racist views?‘ for his concerns about mass uncontrolled immigration…a familiar tactic by the BBC used in this country to try and silence anyone who dares to suggest immigration is brought under control. He finishes with this…
The smart money says that Trump will eventually crash and burn.
In the meantime, somewhere in New York , a 67-year-old lady will be sitting in front of the TV, a bowl of popcorn by her side, watching Fox TV, almost splitting the seams of her pant-suit laughing.
Hillary just cannot get enough of this reality show.
Is that reporting or something dressed up as ‘news’ but is in fact just a mocking and judgemental opinion piece? And ‘Fox’…the ‘BBC’ of America? Perhaps Cameron should hurry up with that ‘Fox’ hunting bill.
Then there’s this on another Republican candidate….A monster of their own making? which was the headline on the BBC Frontpage…..which is about this…Scott Walker: A Republican candidate made by liberal activists?
Whilst reporting that the ‘monster’ was given its head by his Liberal opponents what we get is a long run down of the Liberal’s opinions of him and the ‘evil legacy’ of his ‘conservative achievements’….which apparently, the BBC tells us, Walker ‘spent nearly 40 minutes boasting of those conservative achievements’….
For the past five years Democratic opponents have fought the governor over every inch of political terrain.
Now many are wondering if they are, in part, responsible for his rise as a presidential contender. Is Candidate Walker a monster of their own making?
“I regard Walker as one of the most destructive forces in American politics today,” says Dave Obey, a retired Democratic congressman from Wisconsin.
Another Wisconsin Democratic insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, was more blunt about the recall effort.
The protests, although well-intentioned, were destined for failure thanks to Republican control of the state legislature. And the recall election was a “disaster” because the Wisconsin public wasn’t sold on the legitimacy of the effort.
“At its core was a sort of purity and innocence and stuff that would almost make you believe in American democracy – but it was just so tragically flawed,” he says. “It was not going to work, it was just a children’s crusade.”
So nothing to do with Walker’s Republican politics actually appealing to the voters?….they just like an underdog. he conned them….so how did the Republicans get control of the state legislature? Must have been some sort of Right wing trickery! The Public couldn’t be so stupid to actually like the Republicans!?
As well as being a monster Walker is ‘”a “tricky guy” who has been able to convince the Wisconsin public he’s something he’s not…..he governs like an extremist.”…one who has ‘has built a “throne of his enemies’ skulls”, as the Federalist’s Rich Cromwell puts it. ‘
A monster, a tricky guy who fools the Public, an extremist who built his reputation and standing by vicious assaults on Democrats and the Unions?
Only on the BBC.
I like him already !
The BBC couldn’t get enough of the 2012 recall election. Then, when Walker triumphed, nothing (on the listening/viewing platforms certainly). As I commented at the time, the news from Wisconsin disappeared. You see, for the BBC, if the news doesn’t accord with the Narrative, it’s either not news (as in the recall election) and/or (as in the recent general one here), the misled voters got it wrong.
U
“the misled voters got it wrong”
So what we need is the EU solution. More elections until the voters get it right.
To make sure the voters get it right Zillions of EU taxpayers money will be spirited into the state and used for “correct” propaganda.
“At its core was a sort of purity and innocence and stuff
That’s hilarious. At its core was an organised attempt to thwart a democratically elected politician from implementing the policies he was elected on. Death threats to him and his colleagues and all.
Yep…and sums up the BBC’s ‘manufacturing of consent’ attempts…tragically flawed good intentions that result in unintended consequences…though ones that could have been predicted if they hadn’t been so blinded by the light of their own self-righteousness.
Also, not a mention of the intimidation suffered by his family at their own home by “activists” many of whom were bussed in and couldn’t even spell Wisconsin. All those voters wanting silly things like jobs and less debt.
The BBC will need a simple message about Trump for their SWP, UAF, Left unity followers. Something hilariously funny that can be slipped in by one of their cutting edge millionaire comics.
I usually do not believe in conspiracy theories but I have heared this one and I think it has legs.Donald Trump,is in fact a Democrate if you doubt this why did he support Hilary Clinton in 2010. .He is also friends with Bill Clinton .The plot is he will work to split the Rebulican vote and cause the undecided to vote for Clinton . What does Trump,get out of it well he has tax problems that will miraculously disappear when Hilary is elected
Most interesting and plausible. However, I await the outcome of his meeting with Ted Cruz. If these two are going to deal I suspect that Cruz would not buy into a Hillary victory.
