Trump blasted as 'Bum-in-Chief,' 'racist' and 'Neanderthal,' and even more epic media bias

2. There Was a Ton More Stupid Protest Commentary: The media didn’t spend all their time playing offense. They also resorted to celebrating the protesters and ignoring the fans. “NFL Today” host James Brown went on “CBS This Morning” to do PR for unemployed QB Colin Kaepernick, calling him a “bridge builder.”
Kaepernick is beloved by the far-left sports media for being the most woke athlete. They kept his story alive even when the QB’s career was not. ESPN, especially, spent an epic amount of on-air and website time urging or demanding teams sign their favorite football non-star.
Brown, who goes by J.B. in the sports world, was no different, bringing up Kaepernick’s community work as a defensive move. “I have to give him credit for, even though I might choose a different course of action myself, the fact of the matter is he's committed,” Brown said. “He’s put his money where his mouth is. Nearly a million through community efforts to be a bridge builder.”
What J.B. left out was Kaepernick’s other efforts – wearing socks depicting police as pigs, wearing a shirt of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro (which is why Jay Cutler is now Miami’s QB, not Kaepernick.)
That was hardly the only pro-protester bit. Every media outlet was overflowing with them, like stadium toilets on Super Bowl Sunday.
ABC’s “Nightline” actually depicted Kaepernick as a modern day Jackie Robinson. Reporter Chris Connelly sounded more like Billy Joel, saying Kaepernick, “did not start the fire.” “Seventy years ago, this was the face of change and of social activism in sports when Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color line in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.”
Some of the protest stories were just as propagandistic in other ways.
TBS “Full Frontal” host Samantha Bee conjured up images of slavery saying Trump was talking about players “working on a field.”
Director Spike Lee was even more blatant, arguing that President Trump was acting “like the owners are the plantation owners and the guys playing in the league, they’re on the plantation.” Yep, earning millions of dollars on the plantation. Just like slaves. There are no words sometimes for Hollywood stupidity.
And despite claims otherwise, yes, the left is actively against both the anthem and the nation it represents. CNN lefty commentator Marc Lamont Hill criticized the anthem and said he doesn’t stand for it.
“I come on here every week and talk about white supremacy – I say Donald Trump is a white supremacist – I don't stand for the national anthem – and CNN still employs me,” Hill said. That’s both a reflection of free speech and the fact that far-left politics are hardly unpopular at CNN.
“Meet the Press” panelist Stephen Henderson actually claimed: “Some of the words of the national anthem are white supremacist.” Henderson, who is the Detroit Free Press editorial page editor, also argued that “this is a country whose history is racist, whose history is steeped in white supremacy, and the anthem reflects that.”
Reliably left-wing and pro-Arab street Al-Jazeera ran an anti-”white power” op-ed that questioned even singing the anthem. “And why, and forgive me for asking, are we playing the national anthem at sports games anyway? So we can fake sing words we don’t know?” asked writer John Sims. Now that Al-Jazeera America has folded, the network can be more public about hating the U.S.
