Never Trump

The use of the word "intervention" seems like an NBC attempt to influence people's perceptions, as if Trump has some sort of a drug problem. He might for all I know, but intervention seems to be a very loaded word. They keep saying that word, but I don't think anyone associated with an actual meeting is.

Trump has handled the Kahn situation poorly, but I think that here again media like MSNBC are trying to make it seem like he went on the attack. The only thing I've heard that reached that level were Trump's ridiculous comments about his wife.

The purple heart thing was clearly a joke, as was the thing about getting the baby out of the rally. I heard an NBC commentator go on and on about how terrible that was. I thought it was pretty damn funny. Some people hate Trump so much that they are trying to turn everything he says or does into something negative. I think his opponents would be a lot wiser to attack him on his legitimate faults rather than trying to turn jokes into controversies.

Here's a non-NBC source, since you seem to dislike that network:

It's all over the news.

My point was that people involved in meetings with Trump are not calling them or characterizing them as interventions. NBC has a liberal bias. So does a large percentage of the media. They are using the word intervention because the idea that an intervention is necessary makes Trump look really bad.

He looks really bad any way you cut it. But I do understand your point.

I wrote my previous reply without reading your link. When I did this is the quote I found:

NBC News reported that senior Republicans plan to stage an "intervention" to get the campaign back on message, stressing issues such as jobs and trade deals.

You really think that's evidence that my previous comment was incorrect? The word is coming from the media, not from anybody involved in any way with the campaign.

Lots of outlets are reporting dissatisfaction among Republicans with the way Trump handled the last couple of weeks. But ya, the word "intervention" comes from NBC.

Yeah, dissatisfaction is accurate reporting. Some people convinced themselves that Trump would change once he got the nomination. I understand this because I tried to convince myself, too. It seems to me that Trumps biggest strength is that he always calls things like he sees them. His biggest weakness (and it's much bigger than his biggest strength) is that he always calls things like he sees them.
 
Let me quote John Stewart when I say that's mostly a bias toward laziness and sensationalism... not very liberal... or at least not liberal ahead of lazy and sensational.

But I'm glad Fox News has trained the likes of Joe Bag to blow the metaphorical whistle every time a lazy, sensationalist news outlet makes a liberal-sounding faux pas. lol. Here boy!

At least with Mr Trump you know exactly what you are getting. Hillarious Clinton is a cold blooded liar that [MENTION=181]Broncster[/MENTION] worships.
 
When I read the word intervention in the context it was usedi didn't think of drug or alcohol at all.
