Has the Fourth Estate Elevated Itself to Ruling Class?

| by | Politics, Social Distribution | 0 comments:

For 25 years I have made my living in public relations. Over the years I have established relationships with members of the New York City Press Corps who have allowed me to pitch story ideas. The stories that get picked up must pass intense scrutiny by reporters and editors who look for facts to back up my claims – that’s because the New York City Press Corps consists of the savviest people the “fourth estate” has ever known – upholding their responsibility to report the unbiased truth to the masses at all times. Hundreds of years ago, the press was … Continued

Why the unraveling of American society will be traced back to “Sanctuary Cities and States”

| by | Politics | 0 comments:

Governors and Mayors across the country are proudly declaring that they are offering sanctuary to illegal immigrants living within their governing district. Instead of being criticized for their unabashed defiance of federal immigration laws these executives are being celebrated by their citizens, encouraging them to take their defiance one step further. Recently, California State Senator Kevin deLeon announced that he has appointed Lizbeth Mateo to serve on a committee that advises the California Student Aid Commission. Mateo is a Mexican-born attorney and immigrant rights activist who came to the U.S. with her parents at age 14. She is an undocumented … Continued

What is “fake news” and has it crept into mainstream media reporting?

| by | Politics | 0 comments:

What is “fake news” and has it crept into mainstream media reporting? “Fake News” has been around since the advent of the internet. The short definition is a sensational headline presented by professional looking websites designed to get people to click so ads can be delivered – also known as “click bait”. The American public didn’t pay much attention to “fake news” until the 2016 Presidential Elections when then candidate Donald Trump accused mainstream media of creating “fake news” to increase ratings. Almost immediately upon its utterance, “fake news” became an American household phrase – often used by conservative minded … Continued

By the Numbers – Why a Female, Cuban/Greek Can Become New York City’s Next Mayor

By Leticia Remauro As a former Republican County Chairman and a political operative, I have a certain affection for numbers – especially when they are in the form of demographics, voting trends, polling data and political analysis.  To me, and others like me, those numbers are the basis for every political campaign.  I used those numbers when, in February 2015, I predicted that Trump would likely be the Republican nominee even though I was supporting someone else, and again on November 8th 2016 when I appeared on PIX11 morning show declaring that Trump would beat Clinton in Florida and win … Continued

By Leticia Remauro On November 8, 2016, pollsters, newscasters, the Hollywood elite and big city dwellers were all dealt a shocking blow when Donald Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States of America. I watched the returns in my home, surrounded by my family who had spent the last 18 months glued to the television following the campaign on 24 hour news shows such as CNN and Fox & Friends.  In the 23 years I have spent in politics, never has my family been this interested in an election. What made this election different from elections … Continued

Campaign 2016 – Comey, Commies, the KKK and Wikileaks – how the 24 hour news cycle has affected the 2016 Presidential Election

| by | Politics | 0 comments:

Some would say that the Presidential Election of 2016 has been one of the most contentious cycles in our nation’s history, and they may be right.  Not because of the animosity between the candidates but because of the way in which Americans are receiving information about the candidates and who is voting for whom. A look back in time shows that the 1876 election of Rutherford B. Hayes as the 18th President of the United States was likely the most bizarre and divisive election because the Presidency was decided in a backroom deal in the Wormley Hotel rather than at … Continued
