WH Blames 'Negative Coverage' For Trump's Rock-Bottom Approval Ratings
Source: Talking Points Memo

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday blamed the medias focus on negative coverage for President Donald Trumps poor approval rating, which is at a historic low for the December of a Presidents first term.
While the President and this administration has been very focused on how we can better help the American people, I think oftentimes the media is focused on other things, Sanders said at her daily briefing.
She claimed that 90 percent of the coverage about Trump is negative and claimed the media is certainly not talking about the growing economy, certainly not talking about the crushing of ISIS, not talking about the creation of jobs.
If people were focused a lot more on those things in the media, I think that his numbers would be a lot higher, Sanders said. We anticipate that theyre going to go up as more and more of these things continue to happen.

(10,106 posts)Trumps negative numbers are solely from his negative behavior. End of story. Sarah seems to be competing for the prize of who can tell the most whoppers on any given day. She and Trump may be tied!

(17,276 posts)It was A-OK when President Obama was in office, wasn't it? They covered every negative thing, and when that wasn't enough, they made stuff up.
Now that the shoe's on the other foot--oh boo, hoo, hoo!! Whining like babies.
Newsflash: the media's job is holding politicians' feet to the fire, not showering them with praise. Too bad for them this isn't North Korea, where nobody can bat an eyelash the wrong way without taking their life into their hands.
If the babies can't take it, they should just get out. Go back to being CEOs where they can really be dictators and squelch all negative comments.

There are a lot of jobs out there (at least in my part of the woods), but you would need two of them to make the rent, electric, car expenses and food.
Even if somehow a job paying $100,000 a year that I could physically do came along, I would still despise this administration for many other things (their attitude toward women and non-white folks, the way they assume everyone has a religion and it is the one they like, the horrific things they are doing to the environment, etc).
It is all about $$$$$ for republicans.

90 percent negative sounds OK, but 99% would be far more accurate!
