"Elite Press Offers Readers On How To Avoid News of President Trump"by Ira Stroll, New York Sun, March 27th

"A New York times travel article about Hawaii carries a sub headline describing the journey "as a desperate attempt to escape the news." The Times Sunday etiquette column lead with a question from a reader, who wrote in a letter that began, "Lately I've been feeling depressed about the news, so I decided to avoid it."

The Times technology columnist , Farhad Manjoo, wrote a column on how he spent an entire week in which he didn't read, watch, listen to a single story about anything having to do with our 45th president".

A times shopping column about a store that sells men's pajamas at prices starting at $266 a pair includes this complaint from the work-home journalist who wrote it: "the house no longer feels like such a safe space." There are CNN an all the other stations on my TV, alerts from the New York Times and the Washington Post on my phone screen. "Anxiety is persistent. "

The president of the American Enterprise Institute, Arthur Brooks, wrote a New York times op-ed piece under the headline, " Depressed by politics? Just Let Go."....

It all amounts to a statement about journalism today. The press has gotten away from its traditional job of just telling readers what the news is. Its new ,self-appointed role involves advising people how they should feel about the news and how to get away from it.


In doing so, the Times discloses a certain set of assumption about the ideological uniformity of its own readership. After all , there may have been some Americans who could have used all this advise about dealing with news-related anxiety and depression during the Obama Administration.

I am more interested in the posters REASON for this post, but will begin by giving a link to the article. Better to read it yourself than take the word of someone who picks and chooses what might serve his interest.

Elite Press Offers Readers Advice on How To Avoid News of President Trump - The New York Sun

I always check the writers and just for clarification, this is the man who runs ALGEMEINER..."The Algemeiner Journal is a New York-based newspaper, covering American and international Jewish and Israel-related news. CNBC called it "the fastest growing Jewish newspaper in the United States"[2] and former Senator Joseph Lieberman described the paper as an "independent truth telling advocate for the Jewish people and Israel".[3] The Algemeiner's Advisory Board was chaired by Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel."

I am more interested in the motivation to post this thread and what possible dialogue is being searched for.

I am also very very very tired of the news. Thus I ask these questions of the poster..

1. Are you suggesting that a President charging his predecessor with a felony charge, a President then using a Judge from Fox news as his source to charge our British allies as assisting in wiretapping him and doing such to the international press, while standing beside a foreign leader. a President now preoccupied with trying to stymie an investigation with the initial thrust of investigating the attack on our election process by Russia, which has been grown BECAUSE OF THE PRESIDENT, into also investigating his charge of 500 million illegals voting in Nov election and also has progressed to looking into all the ties his team and family have with Russia and his quotes on the subject, should not be in the headlines ??

Are you then by extension suggesting the media not cover the obvious attempts to grind that investigation down by the White House who professes AMERICA FIRST ?


2. Or are you suggesting that President Obama, aside from your policy objections, was given a break with all his investigations etc ?

I am tired of the news also I would prefer discussing trade, tax, health care, and foreign policy, but our media would be TERRIBLY REMISS IN THEIR JOB to simply say it is not important what is happening with our Presidency.

All the items being covered by the media were not invented

They were 100% manufactured by our President, nobody else.

What exact point are you trying to make here ? We have an attack on our presidency, and its total credibility, not on the "swamp" or the "old guard" of Washington.

I also since you implied your little thread was from the New York Times or was affliated in some way, offer this bit ...

"It immediately blasted the president for "his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehood," and then zeroed in on his insistence in a tweet that he was wiretapped by the Obama administration, despite a lack of evidence and intelligence agencies and members of both parties saying there was no support for the claim.

"Yet the President clings to his assertion like a drunk to an empty gin bottle, rolling out his press spokesman to make more dubious claims," the editorial reads.

The wiretapping controversy has gone on to overshadow other news, the editorial argues. Trump should question why the United States was surveilling Michael Flynn, his national security adviser who was forced to resign, and he should also wonder who leaked the news of Flynn's meeting with the Russian ambassador.


Wall Street Journal editorial attacks Trump's credibility

So, please....this is historic this attack on our White House (the peoples house)....it is TRUELY HISTORIC when you cannot believe anything that the President says...NOTHING.

Save me with quotes from other presidencies please. If you cannot tell the difference between what this person is doing to us and the office and any other "lies" you can tout, then you are a lost soul.

In addition, you say "The press has gotten away from its traditional job of just telling readers what the news is. ". Its new ,self-appointed role involves advising people how they should feel about the news and how to get away from it."

Does this mean you blame the media for what they report, and not those who are actually MAKING THE NEWS ?
