HanoiVillan Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 5 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: What's all this doing for FOX's subscriber numbers? Surely at some point, being attached to this nutcase has to be hurting their reputation (such as it is). Also, seeing as how FOX and SKY are essentially the same company, has SKY's editorial line on Trump been similarly generous (albeit in a more subtle way)? Fox aren't 'attached' to Trump, they just take a softer line than other networks. Since there are a lot of Trump voters and supporters, and not all of these people were previous Fox viewers, Fox have done especially well. Their viewing figures are up massively over the year. As are the figures of all cable news channels, and the numbers of readers and subscribers of all the main newspapers (paper and online). Trump has been brilliant for the media so far, quite literally the best news they've had in decades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he was chosen as the keynote speaker at CPAC says all you need to know about the current state of the Republican Party. The Tea Party looks moderate compared to the neo-Nazis who have taken over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Despite the headline, these results stun me. I can't believe how many Republicans look at this douche and think "Yep, that's the kind of president I'm proud to have elected". 80% of Republicans think Trump is honest? Is it **** opposite land over there? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/02/23/a-majority-of-americans-are-embarrassed-by-president-trump/ Quote A majority of Americans are embarrassed by President Trump For those interested in seeking adulation and acclaim, it’s easy to see why running for president might hold appeal. For a year, two years, you get to be one of the most-talked about people in the most powerful country in the world; on the off-chance that your bid is successful, you then get to extend that attention streak for four more years. That’s six years, minimum, that the country — if not the world — is holding you at the forefront of its attention and consideration. But there is a downside: The country may not like what it sees. Two polls released this week offer that downside to President Trump. New surveys from Quinnipiac University and McClatchy-Marist reveal that Trump — never terribly popular nationally — continues to be seen as dishonest, a poor leader and unstable. What’s more, the U.S. is embarrassed by him. Note, as will be the case throughout these results, that there’s a wide partisan split on this question. Democrats almost uniformly describe themselves as embarrassed. Republicans describe themselves as proud. (According to the pollsters, those feelings are strong among those who describe themselves as stronger partisans, too.) Overall, though, thanks in part to a majority of independents saying that they’re embarrassed, 58 percent of the country uses that term to describe its feelings about Trump’s first month in office. What’s more, Quinnipiac’s polling found that concerns about Trump’s personality that haunted him throughout the campaign have not been ameliorated much. A majority of Americans still see Trump as not honest. A majority of Americans see Trump as lacking leadership skills. A majority of Americans still see Trump as not being level-headed. A majority of Americans do see him as intelligent … … but a majority also think that Trump doesn’t share their values. Local Politics Alerts Breaking news about local government in D.C., Md., Va. Sign up Trump has continually insisted — despite not moderating his aggressive campaign rhetoric at any point and despite moving quickly and unilaterally to make his pledges reality — that he seeks to unify the United States. So far, Americans don’t think he’s being very successful. Trump won the presidency by embracing a core group of conservative Republicans that has continued to stand staunchly by his side ever since — and doing little to lure anyone else to his side. He won by running against a flawed Democratic candidate who won more votes — as predicted by national polls like the ones cited above — but fumbled the electoral college. If Trump’s desired outcome was to advance to the presidency and then lead an adoring nation through four ecstatic years, polling suggests that he hasn’t yet figured out how to make that happen. Given that Americans see him as divisive, hot-tempered, dishonest and adrift from their values, polling also suggests that the country is skeptical that he can.

Keyblade Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I know hate crimes have always occured, but I can't remember something like what happened in Kansas yesterday where a guy just walks in and opens fire on people yelling 'get out of my country' or what happened in Quebec last month. People have been shouted down for saying that Trump will embolden the crazies. Why does it always take tragedies to get people to wake up (assuming they will)?
