MILO: How Trump Baited The Media Into Covering Islamic Terror Attacks by MILO9 Feb 2017167 Throughout his campaign, Donald J. Trump — or, as I like to call him, Daddy — treated the mainstream media as his personal plaything. Now as the 45th President of the United States, he shows no signs of stopping. Something similar is currently happening to me, although fortunately for feminists, black lives matter activists, fat people, vapers and cyclists I have no political aspirations. Remember, the Trump campaign received free advertising from the mainstream media worth an estimated $5 billion dollars. They hated his guts, but couldn’t stop covering him! Daddy’s latest triumph involves baiting the media, especially CNN (or, as they are now referred to on twitter, “those CNNTS”), into devoting more coverage to acts of Islamic terrorism around the world. The President’s strategy was simple: accuse them of not covering Islamic terrorism, and then watch them fall over themselves to prove him wrong. “It’s gotten to a point where it’s not even being reported,” Trump said at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. “And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn’t want to report it.” The media, especially CNN and their intellectual peers at Buzzfeed, have for a while now been engaging in a desperate campaign to frame the White House and its spokespeople as being purveyors of fake news. From going after Kellyanne Conway for use of the perfectly intelligible and uncontroversial term “alternative facts,” to their dust-up with Press Secretary Sean Spicer over the disputed inauguration crowd size, the media are convinced they can undermine trust in the administration. I, too, have beef with Sean Spicer, but it has more to do with him snatching a job I thought I had in the bag. The attacks aren’t working. Trump’s approval rating is at 42 percent and rising, while trust in the media remains at a dismal 34 percent — the lowest in history. Yet the media still believe they can get the public to mistrust Trump as much as they mistrust them. Of course their coordinated move to introduce the concept of fake news has failed so miserably, due to their own fakery, that they’ve started walking back the term after just months! Here’s a snippet from a recent CNN article about the media’s coverage of terrorism: There are 16 terrorist attacks on the White House list of purportedly under-covered attacks that each elicited more than 3,000 media mentions. The following are a representative sample: In Ottawa in October 2014 Michael Zehaf-Bibeau killed a Canadian soldier. Two months later in Sydney, Man Haron Monis killed two Australians. In March 2015, 21 tourists were killed at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, Tunisia. Two months later in Garland, Texas, two ISIS-inspired militants attacked a Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest. Luckily no one was killed except the terrorists. In Tunisia, also in 2015, 38 were killed at a beach popular with Westerners. In October 2015, 224 were killed in Sinai, Egypt, when ISIS brought down a Russian passenger jet with a bomb. The terror attacks in Paris and Nice, France, that Trump cited in his CENTCOM speech also received more than 3,000 media mentions. This is exactly what Trump was hoping CNN would do. Why do people keep underestimating Daddy? It’s mystifying to me. It’s not like this is the first time that Trump has baited the media. His unquestionable tour de force was the unveiling of the Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C in September, during the election campaign. Trump announced in advance that he was going to address the issue of then-President Obama’s birth certificate at the unveiling, which of course caused the entire mainstream media to descend on the event. They were certain Trump was going to embarrass himself with an outlandish, potentially campaign-killing conspiracy theory. Or, alternatively, walk back his previous remarks, which he never does and which they could spin as a victory. Instead, Trump devoted just one sentence to the “birther” issue, at the very end of the event, where he flatly acknowledged that Obama was born in America. But in order to get to that, the mainstream media not only had to cover the opening of Trump’s new hotel, but also a string of military veterans endorsing him for President. The media were giving free publicity to his business and his political campaign. A fuming Jake Tapper called it a “political rickroll.” I wont lie, I was aroused for weeks. I said it right at the start of his campaign: Donald Trump is the king of trolling his critics. And in the media, he’s found a perfect, and widely-despised mark. Here’s hoping it never ends.

The Lefties are running around claiming "Trump is Hitler"... They don't even realize it is THEY who are behaving like Nazis.
ARTS Bill Maher Invites Milo Yiannopoulos, and Another Guest Cancels By DAVE ITZKOFFFEB. 15, 2017 Continue reading the main storyShare This Page Real Time With Bill Maher” quickly proved controversial on Wednesday evening when another guest, the journalist Jeremy Scahill, said he would not appear on the show because of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s booking. Mr. Scahill, a co-founder and editor of the news site The Intercept, announced his decision on Twitter only hours after Mr. Yiannopoulos’s scheduled appearance was made public. Mr. Scahill said that allowing Mr. Yiannopoulos to appear on “Real Time” was “many bridges too far.” “He has ample venues to spew his hateful diatribes,” Mr. Scahill said in a statement. “There is no value in ‘debating’ him. Appearing on ‘Real Time’ will provide Yiannopoulos with a large, important platform to openly advocate his racist, anti-immigrant campaign. It will be exploited by Yiannopoulos in an attempt to legitimize his hateful agenda.” View image on Twitter Follow jeremy scahill ✔@jeremyscahill Why I will not appear this week on Real Time with Bill Maher. But Mr. Maher defended his decision. “My comments on Islam have never veered into vitriol,” he said. “Liberals will continue to lose elections as long as they follow the example of people like Mr. Scahill whose views veer into fantasy and away from bedrock liberal principles like equality of women, respect for minorities, separation of religion and state, and free speech. If Mr. Yiannopoulos is indeed the monster Scahill claims — and he might be — nothing could serve the liberal cause better than having him exposed on Friday night.” Mr. Yiannopoulos, an editor at Breitbart News, often engages in provocative displays to highlight what he considers the intolerance of the political left. At an appearance in December at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he mocked a transgender student while displaying her photograph during his talk. This month, a planned appearance by Mr. Yiannopoulos at the University of California, Berkeley, was canceled when protests against the speech turned violent and led to rioting that caused around $100,000 in damages. He had been invited to speak by the school’s College Republicans group. In a Facebook video posted after the speech’s cancellation, Mr. Yiannopoulos said that the “hard left” was to blame, having “become so utterly antithetical to free speech in the last few years.” “They simply will not allow any speaker on campus, even somebody as silly and harmless and gay as me, to have their voice heard,” he added. Other schools have withdrawn invitations to him in recent weeks. In January, a man was shot during protests outside a speech Mr. Yiannopoulos was giving at the University of Washington in Seattle. Last summer, Mr. Yiannopoulos was barred from Twitter after helping rally other users to direct racist and sexist remarks at Leslie Jones, a star of “Ghostbusters” and “Saturday Night Live.” Mr. Maher, a comedian who is liberal on many issues — he donated $1 million to a “super PAC” supporting President Barack Obama’s re-election in 2012 — features guests from across the political spectrum on “Real Time.” His show on Friday was set to include the comedian Larry Wilmore, the actress Leah Remini and former Representative Jack Kingston, Republican of Georgia. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/15/arts/bill-maher-jeremy-scahill-milo-yiannopoulos.html
Notice that they never actually quote anything Milo has said. That's because he never says anything very controversial except that all views should be heard from and debated civilly. The racist charge is particularly laughable, since he has a well-documented taste for black men.
"After violent left-wing activists rioted at Berkeley in protest of a lecture by Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, The Daily Caller reported that the main group behind the protests -- Refuse Facism -- was backed by The Alliance for Global Justice -- which in turn is backed by The Tides Foundation, a Soros-funded group." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...-soros-groups-left-wing-causes-in-europe.html
