Another media coup brilliantly executed by Our Glorious Leader.
Monday afternoon looked like the same ole’ same ole’ from these fact- checking cretins. The Trump campaign had just released a very effective ad making the candidate’s closing argument in Iowa. The ad included disturbing black and white surveillance footage, a birds-eye view of dozens of people rushing towards a border wall. The voiceover says, “And he’ll stop illegal immigration on our Southern border with a wall that Mexico will pay for.”
Desperate to undermine the effectiveness of the ad, the left-wing gotcha-queens at PolitiFact went to work and discovered that the black and white footage was not from our southern border but from Morocco. PolitiFact immediately branded Trump a liar, and naturally, the King of Fact-Check Fraudsters, Glenn Kessler, immediately did his part to spread the news.
In 2008 and 2012, this kind of cheap gotcha would have dominated the news cycle for at least 72 hours. The gotcha would have led the top of every cable news hour, and every Democrat under the sun, including Hillary Clinton and
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), would have received sweet DC Media softballs inviting them to pile on. By the end of the day, the Republican Campaign would have been on defense, looking feckless, weak, incompetent, and not ready for primetime — which is the real goal of the media’s gotcha game.Only this time that didn’t happen. In fact, the story is already fading out. What should be consuming the news cycle this morning is almost nowhere to be found.
Why?
Because Trump and his people were ten steps ahead of the Hillary’s Palace Guards in the media. They saw this coming– no, actually, they used this footage intentionally, and I’m guessing they did so in order to manipulate the media’s predictable partisan corruption as a way to invite a desired controversy.
…
The campaign later released an official statement stating the use of the footage was “intentional,” a means to illustrate the problem on our southern border.
This is not a debate our corrupt, left-wing media wants to have. They love how our porous southern border allows thousands of Democrats into America every day, and do not want to air video representative of this problem because they know it freaks people out, and does so for good reason.
This, though, is the exact briar patch the Trump campaign wants to be thrown into.
Trump continually puts the media into this no-win situation. They can either strengthen him by covering the issues he wants to cover, or they can not criticize him. In the past these cheap gotchas always ended with the Republican apologizing and removing the ad, or standing helplessly by as the media brutalized him.
This methodology appears to have been based on techniques of internet trolling.
“It must have been an accident because he’s stupid.”
TRUMP CAMPAIGN MNGR: "No shit its not the Mexican border but thats what our country is going to look like if we don't do anything."
