Overdoing the Coverage of the ‘Hush Money Criminal Trial’
29th May 2024
The Democrats want to run for office on the issue of “Democracy,” because they think the Republicans are somehow opposed.
They never sound stranger than when they warn that a re-elected Donald Trump will use the powers of government for revenge on his political enemies. They can’t grasp the fact that many voters see a vast conspiracy of partisan prosecutors trying to convict and imprison Trump before the election as a way of ending Trump’s political career forever. That can be seen as revenge for Trump defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The media elite endlessly promote these prosecutions, implying each of them could be politically lethal, but somehow none of them are. They have promoted elected Democrat Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s trial as a “hush money criminal trial.” Putting the word “criminal” next to “Trump” is one of their favorite tactics.
Curtis Houck at NewsBusters examined every story and mention of this Trump trial for 38 days, starting with the morning of jury selection on April 15, on ABC, CBS, and NBC — their morning and evening newscasts and Sunday politics programs. The three networks offered 573 minutes and 25 seconds of breathless coverage. ABC dominated the competition with almost 237 minutes of coverage in its three formats. The incessantly negative tone was set by ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, who worked as a spin controller for Bill Clinton, who was himself a tornado of scandals.

It’s “funny” how nothing a Democrat does is ever a crime, including sexual assault, but anything a Republican does is automatically considered a crime when it doesn’t lead to more power for Democrats. I remember that Bill Clinton got a free pass for multiple rapes and for paying off Paula Jones, but they’re trying to jail Trump for far less.
