I'm seeing a lot more talk in the media about Trump's campaign manager than Trump's foreign policy speech, which was actually substantive.

What a surprise! Except it’s not. Did another freeze out of positive Donald Trump news happen this week too? Donald Trump gave a speech in Wisconsin this week which was highly praised by those who listened to it.
This is a conservative, pro-America speech by @realDonaldTrump. Well done by you & thnx @ScottWalker for your gracious intro!

@dcexaminer last night's speech was great

Okay, you can turn off CNN now. Trump's FABULOUS speech is over. Look up the speech – skip the B.S. media "interpretations."

Doesn't matter whether it's a pivot or not, Trump insiders want more of what he did last night in Wisconsin: https://t.co/O7maOzsMH5

Some cable outlets aired some of the speech live. But can you guess what happened after? Laura Ingraham predicted this:
Best speech of the campaign tonight for @realDonaldTrump in Wisc. Will media cover fairly? Unlikely. But you shd watch.

Fair schmair! Of course, that tweet was prescient.

Excellent Article. The question becomes how this message seeps through the trump bashing media.

Good question. Anyone watching network or cable news, or reading things like the fish wrap of record, wouldn’t have known about any of it. Message? That doesn’t suit. It has to be something deigned cuckoo or seemingly rude or some such. THOSE are key requirements evidently.

And perhaps because it was a good one?
Here’s a perfect example from a CNN “journo.”
The meeting comes days after Trump accused Clinton of "bigotry" against the police at a speech in WI. https://t.co/92zagPIa8R

Sneering contempt was that journo’s only take-away.
Another one:
How to tell @realDonaldTrump hit a nerve with his welfare state/urban USA speech? @CNN ninnies said they were "insulted." Bravo, Mr. Trump!

Snicker.
On CNN Van Jones calls Trump's speech "a despicable speech" #CNN Must have been very effective.
— Jon Feere (@JonFeere) August 17, 2016
Yep. The louder the tolerance brigade screams RAAAAAAAAACIST, the better the speech was. Which is why there won’t be substantive parts of it highlighted in the media. That doesn’t fit the narrative, natch. Only Queen Hillary the Corrupt can say anything of merit.
Of course, anything she says is a lie.
But, hey, that doesn’t matter to our Smarter Than You betters, right? Let’s focus on this instead, huh?
Trump adds Bannon to campaign, media spin Trump campaign in disarray with big shakeup,so now ignore his incredible Speech from last night

Average TV viewer: extremely aware that Trump hired some Breitbart guy, but unaware that HRC took $25 million from Yemen-bombarding Saudis

If you didn’t know that mainstream media, and now parts of new media, were in the bag for Hillary Clinton (explicitly or tacitly), then you know now.
