Boston Globe: Anti-Trump Satire

[SmooveMooves]

It's one thing to be against a canidate. It's also one thing to print editorials condenming a canidate. But this here is absolutely disgusting journalism by the Boston Globe.

Last Sunday the Boston Globe decided to print a satirical front page newspaper cover in the editorial section with predictions of stories related to Trump. With the headline, "The GOP must stop Trump."

Something appropiate for The Onion, not a major "respectable" journalism outlet. This practically spits in the face of consumers. And then they wonder why media disturst is at an all time low.

Resorting to publishing fake news to push an agenda, smh.

The press and the media are part of the oligarchy. Did you really think that when a power structure that has been in place for 100 years is challenged by candidates like Trump or Sanders that 'the powers that be' won't pull out all the stops?

Trump is trolling his way to the presidency. It's to be expected.

Trump is a joke.

His policies (what little we're told about anyway) are complete jokes.

His supporters are jokes who unfortunately don't get it.

Is there anything left to report on him other than satire?

His poll numbers.

Luckily Republicans, at this point, don't care what the morons think either.

I don't care if you don't agree with Trump. If you understand anything about media, the press, and its purpose, you should realize why this is tasteless and unacceptable.

Simply because you don't like Trump does not mean this should be accepted. This is not about Trump this is about respect to the public and abuse of power.

Could you imagine if something similar was released about Obama, from a major news outlet that didn't agree with him? Fake headlines like "Obamacare crashes Gov't" or "Obama funds Isis attacks"

I mean did you read some of the "headlines" they made up? It directly violates the journlism codes to farbicate news stories. Because "Trump is trolling" is not a valid reason.

Seriously, Trump is trolling his way to the presidency. I honestly believe that he didn't think people would take him seriously. It's kinda like if Lyndon Larouche suddenly gained traction and became a viable candidate. Donald Trump isn't the first nor will he be the last person to troll his way to the presidency. This sh*t has been a part of the republic since the election of 1800.

If Stephen Colbert hadn't sold out to take Letterman's job, I bet he could have given Trump a run for his money as a Republican candidate. Trump is doing the same act, but it isn't nearly as funny.

 

[yuppee]

so far, everything i"ve seen that's "anti-trump" has been by scum-sucking pos's.

 

[phillies]

It's disgusting how fascist trump haters are. They don't want people to have free choice or free speech. Thought police. New speak.

They only want like minded people to have the right to vote. When trump wins it's going to be soooo satisfying.

It'll be even better if some idiots start rioting and get stomped.

 

[Bible_Belt]

Anyone who stands in traffic deserves to get run over.

 

[yuppee]

absolutely. Its the trump protesters who don't want free speech. they are scared that trump's gonna upset their gravy train. I say that the ticks should be allowed to perish in an of their own void
