1. Do you believe the mainstream media has tried to delegitimize the crisis at our southern border?
   Yes
   No
   No opinion
   Other, please specify:
More than half of Illegal Aliens ('Alien' is defined in Immigration Law) that reside in the USA are on Welfare, Food Stamps, Medicaid. Forty percent of Illegals commit crimes resulting in action by Local Police and/or Federal ICE enforcement. Illegals cost U.S. citizens who work, earn income, and pay taxes more than $250 BILLION annually. I have repeatedly stated that Democrats(Socialists) want open borders to flood America with uneducated, economically impactful people from VERY corrupt countries south of the border. These scavengers previously lived in their country's squalor — corruption, disease, poverty, little industry, and 25% unemployment — caused by corrupt Socialist/Communist dictators and the lack of impetus to improve their economy. Illegals know only how to scam people out of anything to support their lives (like several Democrat voters). These countries south of the border are mostly Socialist. Chile is the closest to a Capitalist country even though rioters are currently trying to destroy Chile. This is how Socialists force change in their countries. Some citizens work, build a future for themselves and become wealthy. Other citizens feel deprived and envious of those citizens who worked hard and built their wealth. The wealthy workers rightfully disagree with the redistribution of their earnings to the "less fortunate citizens" who beg government for help. This is how Socialists start their destruction of good Capitalist economies where everyone who wants to work can get a job. If Illegal Aliens vote ILLEGALLY because States and Cities don't regularly inspect/update their Registered Voter databases to remove deceased former residents, former residents who moved, and Illegals erroneously registered via 'motor voter', then the Popular Vote will be suspiciously much higher for Democrats because Illegals will vote for Socialists (Democrats). States must demand proof of citizenship to prevent the destruction of America.
2. Do you trust the mainstream media to put the interests of Americans first?
   Yes

Mainstream Media's apparent purpose in their 'business' is to denigrate and besmirch President Trump's successful administration that has achieved more in his first 3 years than any president in America's history. In fact, many presidents of the past have done much to drain the resources produced by our economy to pump those resources into foreign economies. Why? The mantra is that the USA, the only intact country on the planet after WWII, should take care of the world to prevent future world wars. We were having trouble taking care of ourselves until Trump's tax cuts/regulation recission enabled American industry to begin restoring the economy from the devastation caused by previous administrations who wanted to take care of the world and convert America to Socialism or a province of the New World Order run by some centralized, all-powerful government, say, like the UN. Well, the world has recovered, and America needs to wake up because the world competes very aggressively against America using a form of Socialist/Communist control with "capitalism" (with a small 'c') in their people's business. Their people pay ridiculously high taxes for which they receive mediocre services (or none) with waiting lines. Their peoples, oppressed by their government(s), have been scammed by their governments into collectively thinking that life is wonderful because of Socialism. Attempts to communicate this oppression to the world are met with prison, slave camps, and murder. In America, government will only provide a cradle for you if you are indigent, i.e., incapable of caring for yourself. Each individual has many choices from which only the individual can choose, possibly with help from a parent or teacher. Most successful life choices in America require that one has at least a high school diploma. Higher education that is marketable yields higher rewards. 'Success' in America is measured by economic power that the individual creates for himself and this is the problem for some people. Many people exclaim that they don't care about money and the comfort it can purchase. Some people want that propagandized 'cushion', the soft padding that Socialism supposedly provides for its people. But Socialism cannot provide anything for their people if they have no industry like most of Mexico and Central America. China forces their people to work or enjoy prison life. If they work, they receive monetary rewards from government. Government owns everything including the people.
3. Do you believe reporters like Jim Acosta angle their questions to promote liberal propaganda?
   Yes
   No
   No opinion
   Other, please specify:
The behavior of Acosta and many other so-called mainstream journalists are the result of their media companies' management and the apparent infusion of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" as their playbook. For decades, Reporters have asked "gotcha" questions to elicit some negative emotional response from their target, but now Reporters are purposefully and sadistically trying to harm their targets, to make them look bad by posing "loaded", negatively-charged political questions that aren't based in facts. Any disruption of protocol, any lie or disgrace of a government official is game in the nouveau-journalism of the 21st century. When examined objectively, this fiction is a televised or social media-ized distillation of pure political propaganda that had its birth in Europe (1848, Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto) and Russia at the turn of the 20th (1900-1917 and again in 1930-50s). Soviet Union and today's Russia, China, Iran, and N. Korea practice this manipulatory form of media to control their people. A good movie example of this media oppression is the movie titled "V for Vendetta". I recommend this movie for a good view of what a corrupt government and media can do to its people. Basically, these media clowns have a goal of controling the viewer's thought processes. If the viewer is unable to think as an individual, to logically analyze the propaganda, then the viewer will be possibly irreparably influenced by today's trash on mainstram media.
4. Do you trust the mainstream media to report fairly on our presidency?
   Yes
   No
   No opinion
   Other, please specify:
See responses 2 and 3 above.
5. Do you believe people like Jussie Smollett make up stories about our movement because they know the mainstream media will glorify them for it?
   Yes
   No
   No opinion
   Other, please specify:
Smollett is a fraud and a liar. Therefore, he should be arrested, tried in court, and convicted for his crimes. Chicago's socialist Mayor and other officials have enhanced a criminal enterprise that has really been around since before Al Capone.
6. On which issues does the mainstream media do the worst job of representing President Trump? (Select as many that apply.)
   Immigration
   Economics
   Radical Islamic Terrorism
   Pro-life values/social issues
   Religion
   Health care
   Second Amendment rights
Actually, mainstream media fails on all of the above. They concentrate on comedic, "feel-good" situations and helping by redistribution of wealth.
7. Do you believe the media disdains conservatives?
   Yes
   No
   No opinion
   Other, please specify:
Conservatives by definition are not "Progressive", i.e., primarily meaning the redistribution of wealth to lazy, envious people. Mainstream Media is "progressive" by this definition. Conservatives are progressive by another definition which means government should get out of the way and do what it can to create a business environment full of opportunity for those who have gained skills.
8. Which do you think the media cares more about?
   America’s success
   Their TV ratings
Media has always been defined by ratings. If they can't attract viewer attention with educational and foundational programming with substance, then Media uses superficial, super-hero stuff like video games. Young people are the primary target because their thinking is still in learning phases of life. If parents and teachers don't instill the difference between "right and wrong", if youngsters are not taught to earn their way in lfe, then young people will grow to adulthood demanding that government support them.
9. Do you believe the media dislikes Americans of faith?
   Yes
   No
   No opinion
   Other, please specify:
Americans of faith believe in spiritual concepts and historical events passed along in biblical myths from the past. These faithful beliefs have been shown to conflict diametrically with inductively reasoned, scientific observations made by objective observers. While journalists are far from being logical, objective people, many journalists and other Americans are convinced that the scientific method of observation and testing of the environment has disproven the beliefs held by faithful Americans.
10. Do you believe the mainstream media does their due-diligence fact-checking before publishing stories on the Trump Administration?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
This is not real journalism. It's smear and belittle. See the response to question 2.
11. Do you believe the media fails to report on Democrats’ scandals?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
Mainstream Media is the propaganda distributor for the Socialist (Democrat) Party. The goal is to discredit all opposition which includes America's foundations, i.e., "Liberty, Property and Justice for all". Of course, the American justice system has not achieved the "Justice for all" part of their purpose.
12. Do you believe the media sensationalizes and exaggerates stories in order to paint President Trump and conservatives in a bad light?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
See questions 2 and 3 above.
13. Do you believe that the media purposely tries to divide Republicans in order to help elect Democrats?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
Republicans-in-name-only (RINOs) like former Sen. McCain, Sen. Collins of Maine, Benedict Romney (traitor), and "establishment" Sens. and Reps. are easily converted to the Democrat mantra as presented for the last 150 years. Democrats claim to represent the poor, defenseless Americans. Democrats claim that they want to help these people. Their results are less than commendable. In fact, there will always be poor and the number of poor, disadvantaged people has grown despite supposed help. Government must be an enabler, i.e., create an environment where people can help themselves, an environment with opportunites for advancement not dependency. The underlying Democrat purpose — to increase the number of people who need their kind of "help". The Democrat procedure is: • Destroy business with taxes and regulations. • Redistribute the taxes to their pockets and a little to the poor in the form of Welfare, Food stamps, and Medicaid. • Keep the poor dependent on government services. • Flood the country with poor, Socialist Illegals. • Convince the poor and Illegals to vote for Democrats. • With votes, get a majority in CONgress to repeal laws, amend the Constitution to enable a Socialist takeover.
14. Based on your answers above, do you believe that the Republican Party should spend more time and resources holding the mainstream media accountable?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
Accountability is the responsibility of the media company. If media is irresponsible and lies, slanders, defames, or libels either a political party or a person, then the media company and reporter should either be charged with a civil crime or sued for defamation. The end goal should be to either sue the media company into bankruptcy and dissolution or cause the management to see the light and change their business practices. Every time a media company defames a party or person, it sould be sued.
15. Do you agree with President Trump’s strategy of communicating directly with his supporters through Twitter, email, text messages and Facebook videos?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
Presidents have "talked" directly to the People beginning with radio, then TV, and now the Internet. This is nothing new. If FDR can bullshit the People into an Administrative State run and controlled by bureaucrats, then Trump can tell the People that the government will cut taxes and regulations and get out of their way.
16. Do you believe the media is biased when it covers President Trump’s stances on illegal immigration (ex: the Wall, ending Sanctuary cities)?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
See question 1 above, but reread all responses above this one.
17. Do you believe the media is biased when it covers people of faith and supporters of religious liberties?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
See question 9 above.
18. Do you believe that the media has been too quick to spread false stories about our movement?
    Yes
    No
    No opinion
    Other, please specify:
Most all the media does today is denigrate, lie, twist, and misrepresent the facts in regards to anything the opposition party does.
19. What percentage do you believe is an accurate representation of President Trump’s positive news coverage by the mainstream media?
    0%-10%
    10%-25%
    25%-50%
    50%-75%
    75%-100%
20. Are there any other thoughts you’d like to share with the President when it comes to mainstream media accountability?
Keep going! Don't quit! Don't let the clowns irritate you so much! Route all Republican and Independent efforts into regaining the House majority and retaining/expanding the Senate majority. Don't reduce tariffs on China's imports until an agreeable enforcement procedure is in-force. China with billions of workers can overwhelm our ports with imports immediately after tariffs are reduced. Reduce bans on Huawei and ZTE only after Electronics Engineers prove that their networks and phones are not engaged in espionage. Further, the bans might never be lifted since we don't want unfair trade to takeover our information industry. In 2021: • Completely fund and build the WALL with motion-sensing lighting and cameras that follow the motion, tunneling sensors, and small armed drones (caliber .223 REM). • Completely rewrite Immigration law to eliminate Chain Migration, Visa Lottery, Catch & Release, bogus claims of Entrepreneurship, and phony Asylum requests. • Illegal Entry into the USA will be a serious, automatic felony deportation offense. Two+ illegal entries is a felony imprisonment offense. • All legal 'emigrants' who want eventual citizenship must speak functional English. • No entry into the USA unless a Visitor has a Visa obtained at a U.S. Embassy/Consolate or online (Form DS-160). • Birthright Citizensbip must be redefined as based on the citizenship of the parents and not on American soil. A newborn child is automatically a citizen if and only if at least one parent is already a citizen at the time of birth. • A suggested detailed proposal for Immigration Reform is available at: http://www.bmstahoe.com/Libertarian/Email/20190605_2ndTermPossibleAgenda.HTML . • A detailed study of the destruction of criminal Illegal Aliens is at: http://www.bmstahoe.com/Libertarian/Email/20200205_JW_DestructionOfCriminal-IllegalAliens.HTML • Collect evidence of Enterprise Corruption against organizations like Open Society Foundations and arrest George Soros and people like him who corrupt the American electoral system and voter integrity. • For the 1st time ever, cut non-military/Intelligence agency budgets by 5% per annum for 10 years. These agencies are over-funded. • Eliminate and/or combine agencies with duplicate missions to begin Draining the Swamp. • Build more aircraft carriers and submarines where necessary to be in all seas concurrently. • Repeal Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), and the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA). • Replace OPM, MSPB, and FLRA with one agency subordinate to the General Services Administration (GSA) that uses the latest legal infrastructure and personnel to evaluate all government employee termination situations working closely with GSA. • Prohibit all government employees' union activity on government property and prohibit employee union meetings during work hours. • FIRE ALL UNPRODUCTIVE EMPLOYEES. Screen all intelligence agency employees and remove all seditious operatives. • Rescind funding of sanctuary cities/states, defund all colleges and universities that prevent free speech or discriminate against conservatives.

Read Study Reveals the Absurd Conformity of Higher Education to see how professorial political bias can invalidate research done at universities and how young college students are "...being dropped straight into left-wing indoctrination centers."

[Editor's Note: Research into so-called "Global Warming" led to tainted data caused by researchers manually changing data to reflect their political viewpoint.

Geologists have shown that plate techtonics and the movement of continents over 500 million to 1 billion years on Earth have changed climate. It's highly unlikely that human industry over just 200 years could have perceptively or, more importantly, measurably changed climate unless measurement data were forged or measured by a biased individual who wanted to fraudulently express his political viewpoint.

Read this article to understand the bias. ]

"From professors, to administrators, to the most vocal students, rarely does one find a campus with even a tiny bit of ideological balance.

Unfortunately, this trend has been clear for a long time.

After all, William F. Buckley wrote “God and Man at Yale,” which highlighted the left-wing excesses at the prestigious university, more than a half-century ago. Yale was hardly alone.

Despite that warning, college environments aren’t improving.

Many campuses are now hostile to free speech, not only catering to a rigidly left-wing environment, but actively stifling any kind of dissent."
