It is no surprise to anyone living outside the bubble of Washington, D.C.<\/a>, California, or the Northeast<\/a> that the mainstream media<\/a> has totally lost touch with average Americans. There are a few general traits of average Americans that the media has forgotten. America<\/a> was originally founded by people who were fleeing persecution and looking for religious freedom. There are still a number of us who consider religion an important part of our lives. Generally speaking, members of the mainstream media do not fall into that category. Many of the original British settlers<\/a> to America were the second sons of their family. Under British law<\/a>, they would receive no inheritance, so they set out to start from scratch in a new land. They understood the risks, but were willing to settle the new land. Personal responsibility and the risks included in that were part of our growth as a nation. The other trait that permeates our culture is cheering on the underdog. When someone is under constant attack or being bullied, Americans seem to rally to their side. That is something the mainstream media has overlooked in their frenzied attacks on President Trump. A recent article in The Conservative Treehouse<\/a> illustrates that point.<\/p>\n

The article states:<\/p>\n

If you were to review how CNN<\/a> and corporate mainstream media talk politics, well, according to their echo-chambered versions of President Trump, each week that passes is the worst week ever in presidential history.\u00a0 Seriously, no joke. President Trump has been in office for 30 weeks, and 20 of those weeks<\/a> have been called \u201cthe worst<\/em><\/a>\u201d by media.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, if you actually engage with people living their lives and not focused on who the media blame for the latest round of horrid offenses; well, then you might recognize the scope of how over-emphasized and out-of-touch the media perspective really is.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CBS<\/a> and The Associated Press<\/a> each found themselves picking their corporate media<\/a> jaws off the floor when they actually did ask people.\u00a0 You know, ordinary people.\u00a0 Folks like you and me.\u00a0 The media didn\u2019t anticipate the power of common sense to see through their BS.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is also the analogy of the boy who cried wolf. Twenty of the thirty weeks President Trump has been in office have been described by the mainstream media as “the worst.” The seems more than a little over the top.<\/p>\n

I am sure that the comments made in the video included in the article were a bit of a shock to the media. Here is the video:<\/p>\n
