American media, celebrities and coastal elites are so far gone
in their obsession with President Donald Trump, they are willing to
praise Islamic State terrorists so long as they don’t have to side with
their president.
Much of America greeted Trump’s announcement that US forces had tracked down and killed Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) “caliph”
Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi with joy and pride. What country would not rejoice
in the demise of a leader of terrorists, head-choppers, rapists and
murderers? Apparently, not the America of the mainstream media,
Hollywood celebrities, and even many Washington, DC residents – all of
whom simply could not resist to bash Trump instead.Also on rt.com WaPo blasted with #WaPoDeathNotices memes for dubbing ISIS leader ‘austere religious scholar’ in head-scratching headline The Washington Post been rightly mocked for describing Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” in a headline, but their other stories spinning his death as anything but a win for Trump flew largely under the radar. That doesn’t mean other mainstream outlets covered themselves with glory. Apparently hating the very idea of giving Trump credit, they looked far and wide to find something, anything, they could hold against him.
One such thing was that he did not keep senior congressional Democrats in the loop about the operation. How dare he! They’re only trampling law and precedent in trying to impeach him on fabricated charges, no big deal.
Then there was this gem from National Public Radio, which chose to lead with Trump getting impeached and focused on “dramatic and incendiary language.” Oh, and by the way, Baghdadi died.,............................................
