The Media Failed to Prepare Americans for the Trump Whiplash

[BluesLegend]

Did conservatives vote for Trump so that he can turn over the internet to corporations like Comcast, which owns NBC - the "Liberal Media"?

Really how is he doing that?

Did you not read the OP? Or did you just not understand the OP?

I don't have time to read crazy leftist manifestos, just relax Trump is in charge he will clean up your mess.

And I don't have time for retards like you. Welcome to my ignore list, dumbass.

Oh no whatever will I do Synthaholic put me on ignore

The Media Failed to Prepare Americans for the Trump Whiplash


*snip*

The institutional failures that allowed Trump to win the GOP nomination and then the presidency have largely been glossed over, including by employees and managers of big media outlets. But their defensiveness is belied by developments that surfaced only after the election.

Since his inauguration, Trump has ordered not just the global gag rule, but a non-defense federal hiring freeze that will disproportionately harm veterans (whom Trump claimed to champion on the campaign trail). His vague demand that cabinet secretaries begin easing enforcement of Affordable Care Act has yet to impact federal policy, but it has the potential to loose chaos in the Obamacare marketplaces, and begin the law’s unwinding. Trump’s pick for FCC chair, Ajit Pai, wants to take a “weed whacker” to net neutrality.

Like the gag rule, none of this comes as a surprise. Most presidents sign orders that change executive branch policy shortly after they take office. When partisan control of the White House changes, the policy swings can be pretty severe. But they are generally well understood within the political class.

In this election more than in most, these shifts were not relayed to voters. This is nearly as true of more visible policy fights. Trump was able to run a populist campaign, in part, because his and Republicans’ undisguised desire to deregulate Wall Street was subordinate to a focus on Trump’s false promises to battle the global elite and Hillary Clinton’s speeches to financial companies. Trump promised to repeal Obamacare, but the fact that many of his supporters benefit from that law, and are now scared of what he might do, only became major news stories once his power to rescind their health insurance was locked in.

After every election, important political institutions retool for governing, which creates a strong incentive to leave campaign-related controversies unaddressed. But if you believe these issues were thoroughly examined during the election, in proportion to their importance in people’s lives, I have some emails about risotto to show you.

The media was to busy melting down with the rest of the left to prepare anyone for anything

It's "too". Or do Libertarians have their own system of spelling and grammar, also?

Internet spelling and grammar checking! Your parents must be so proud

Did conservatives vote for Trump so that he can turn over the internet to corporations like Comcast, which owns NBC - the "Liberal Media"?

Really how is he doing that?

By overturning the "net neutrality" that Obama signed into law and ill-informed among you considered to be "giving up control fo the internet". In reality, Obama was preventing anyone from controlling the internet. Now companies will be able to purchase faster access to your computer, pushing aside smaller, slower feeds. This of course favours larger, better financed broadcasters over smaller, less technically nimble players.

Faster internet access was being used by Wall Street brokers to make purchases nano-seconds ahead of others giving them price advantages, until this was shut down.

But since few people truly understood what was really going on with the "net neutrality" laws, they easily bought into the idea that Obama was "giving up control of the internet", when in fact he was preventing others from doing so for their own gain.

That isn't what they are talking about. They are talking about turning over ICANN to UN control

What part of Trump’s pick for FCC chair, Ajit Pai, wants to take a “weed whacker” to net neutrality is beyond your comprehension?

Swish, you struck out again

I heard Trump say it as well. Net Neutrality keeps those Wall Street assholes from buying/selling before the prices rises/drops as the case may be. It's only a fraction of a penny on each stock but on large transactions, the difference can be into the hundreds of thousands of dollars in a day.

So far he is delivering on every promise. The butthurt is strong within you. I suggest you seek professional help.

Did he promise to take a weed wacker to Net Neutrality?

Did he promise to build a wall and stick American taxpayers with the bill?

You're not smart.

He didn't mention net neutrality, because noone gives a shit.

Atleast you know the wall is gonna be built, it's progress.
And Mexico is still gonna pay for it, there are lots of options and they owe us for taking in all their fucking people

On net neutrality, noone owns the net and it should stay unregulated

Glad you've caught up.

What does this sentence say to you about the internet staying unregulated?

Trump’s pick for FCC chair, Ajit Pai, wants to take a “weed whacker” to net neutrality.

It means he wants the rules to stay as they were before net neutrality, which is the entire time until 1 or 2 years ago.

Hey conservatives: when Trump and the GOP deregulate Wall Street and they crash the economy again, who are you going to blame?

Obama of course. Because in a right wing mind, everything is Obama's fault.
