Trump Sick And Tired Of Mainstream Media Always Trying To Put His Words Into Some Sort Of Context
| 28 July 2016
NEW YORK—Emphasizing that the practice was just more evidence of
journalists’ bias against him, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump
stated Thursday that he was sick and tired of the mainstream media always
attempting to place his words into some kind of context. “The corrupt news media is constantly
taking the things I say and putting them within the larger context of politics
and global events—it’s absolutely sickening what they do,” said Trump, adding
that many of the comments he has made—including his call yesterday for Russia
to hack into the emails of his presidential opponent Hillary Clinton and
publish the contents—had been repeatedly and unfairly contextualized with
relevant facts about the world and pertinent information about the situation in
which they were stated. “It’s completely shameful to take words I’ve spoken or
written and try to connect them to some kind of objective reality. I say
something, and the next thing I know, a crooked reporter is telling everyone
what I said along with a fact-based explanation of what its implications are
and why it matters. It’s ridiculous, and it has to stop.” Trump added that he
would not hesitate to ban any news organization from his campaign that
continued to twist his statements by implying they held any specific meaning
about or relation to the world we inhabit.
