The Left have been protesting pretty much the entire time since Trump was elected. But this is different. What used to be considered racist the past 8 years is now suddenly patriotic. Of course, prior to those 8 years, it was patriotic, too! Odd how that seems to change every so often. I wonder what it is that changes. Hmmm…
And did you hear about the executive order that shuts the door on refugees? No, not Trump’s temporary ban. I’m talking about a permanent ban. If you haven’t heard about it, you’ll hear it here.

57 Times More Coverage of Trump’s Temporary Ban Than Obama Ending Cuban Refugee Program [Note: The math is wrong. Their original article, which they link to, note that is was 86 seconds of coverage of the Cuban refugee program, not 68 seconds.  Thus, coverage of Trump’s order go only 45 times the coverage.]

FLASHBACK: Media Hated Partisan Obstruction to Obama in 2009

Show transcript
Ever since Trump was elected, the Democrats have been protesting. Yeah, pretty much constantly. They’ve even taken to Hashtag Activism, with #Resist being a popular one.
What’s amazing to me is that, for the past 8 years, when the Tea Partiers took to the Mall in DC or to the streets anywhere else, the media couldn’t help but downplay it, and the talking heads always saw an element of racism. They disparaged such demonstrations as merely political. It wasn’t based on principle; it was just anger with Obama.
Contrast coverage then with coverage now. Now, the March for Women is based on the principle of concern for women’s rights. Never mind that certain viewpoints were not welcome there based on their politics. No, now that is downplayed or outright ignored. This is not anger at Trump’s actions; this is principled (even though he hadn’t really done anything at the time of the march). And those people protesting Trump’s cabinet picks? Why, they’re just concerned for our country and scared of what Trump might do. What was racist for 8 years is now patriotic. And oddly, it was patriotic prior to the last 8 years, too. Gee, what changed each time?
Now, did conservative pundits change their tune each time? I’d guess, for the Limbaugh / Hannity / whoever crowd, that yes, they probably did. I’m not sure, but I’ll give you that. But those are the opinion guys. I’m talking about news coverage. Even guys like Don Lemon on CNN have this problem. He’ll have guests on from both sides, and while he attempts to appear fair and balanced, he lets his opinion peek through. These are the ones that drive the pubic narrative. These are the ones that spend 18 times more coverage on the ouster of Michael Flynn as national security advisor, and talk about other Russian contacts the administration may have had, than on the dangerous leaks coming out of the intelligence community from phone calls they intercepted. That should be just as worrying, and frankly even more so.
