Huh? It is an Australian story, it focuses on the Australian attacks. Maybe you should read it fully first as it goes in details about six different Australian attacks that made headlines around the world, but Trump falsely claiming all were covered up.
Please don't try to defend him on this. He is just straight up lying.
I remember the Sydney siege, for the whole 16 hours all TV channels and news media were focus on this one event, so was me and everyone I knew, I watched the whole thing non-stop until around 2am when I saw the police stormed the cafe after a gun shot was heard inside. After the event, the Sydney siege inquest started and ran from January 2015 to the end of 2016, as required by Australian law. The media covered the whole thing, I know that because I followed it closely.
And it wasn't just the Sydney siege, I remember in detail all the Australian attacks that Trump put in his list, every one of them was covered by the media with headlines and frontpage stories going around the world.
Shooting and attacks like these are very, very rare in Australia, when they do happen it is covered fully by the media and investigations are done afterwards to work out what happen and laws are changed to make sure it doesn't happen again, because Australians cares about each other.
For Trump to claim any of it was "covered up" is just a lie.
Well, the last two years alone would have increased the percentage.
He would have been talking about any attacks, not just the one you mentioned. We had terrorist attacks here - blatant attempts at beheading and "Allahu Akbar" shouts - that were called "workplace violence" by our President, That is one thing Trump is talking about - terrorist attacks not being called as such. We had a BIG problem with that here in the States in the last eight years.
This administration has no respect for facts.A short time later, the White House provided a list of 78 attacks from September 2014 to December 2016 that officials claimed got short shrift from the news media.
A perusal of the archives revealed that NBC News covered 57 of the attacks on the list, which resulted in the deaths if 745 people ? including the Paris terrorist attacks in November 2015, which killed 130 people, left more than 400 others wounded and resulted in hundreds of stories.
By contrast, the 21 attacks NBC News did not cover were smaller incidents in places like Egypt, Bosnia or Bangladesh, resulting in the deaths of just eight people, total. In a number of these incidents the suspects were described only as "unidentified" or "unidentified ISIL" operatives.
Also on the White House list was another terrorist attack that was covered widely by both the U.S. and foreign media ? the December 2015 mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, which killed 14 people.
And when Trump tweets: "Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election," he increasingly makes himself sound like a dictator. This is insanity.
Trump didn't say that, he said the media covered it up and didn't report on it, big different. And I would think the people who lost their lives were the most important issue, not the words the US President Obama uses.
That's deaths per year, not a percentage. And check the source, it is including the attacks during 2016, in fact it is over-stating the attacks by using the 10 year average instead of the most correct 16 year average, i.e. not including the years since 9/11 when there were no terrorists attacks, which bring the number for all jihadists down to an average of 6 deaths per year.
...Because he is a dictator.
This [BEEP] is scary, I'm actually considering defecting to another country. He is going to start a war.
Like Benghazi, being truthful about the circumstances would be more respectful for those we have lost. Four people die in an attack, and "YouTube video" is not exactly what happened. That's what Trump is saying. There was more to the story that DIDN'T get reported.
Yes, they do. They have no respect for the bias of the media or the things President Obama spewed. That's why Trump got elected.
Like Obama's "pen and a phone"?
Give credit where credit is due.
Nancy Pelosi says she can't work with 'President Bush'

Feb. 2, 2017: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of Calif. responds to questions about President Donald Trump's actions and agenda, during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington.
A day after House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was grilled by "Meet The Press" host Chuck Todd on whether her party's leadership was out of touch with the current political climate, the nearly three-decade veteran of Congress mistakenly referred to President Trump as "President Bush."
"While it's only been a couple of weeks since the inauguration, we've seen nothing that I can work with President Bush on," Pelosi said during a Monday press conference.
It appears that members standing behind Pelosi noticed the mistake but chose not to correct or interrupt her. It remains unclear, however, exactly which "President Bush" the minority leader was referring to.
....and she was picked to continue leading the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives.
The Benghazi attack wasn't on Trump's list and CNN alone wrote 10,400 stories on it, according to Google.
So Trump is saying that you can't trust the media, polls and people you know, you can only trust him, isn't that what a scammer says?
I have no idea what that means...? I'm happy to give Obama credit for using a pen, it is better than a sharpie
Benghazi's YouTube video was nothing more than a lie from the Obama Administration for explaining what happened. There is still no effective explanation as to who told the security people (and lack thereof) to stad down as they were being attacked. We lost an Ambassador that night - the first since the Carter Administration in 1979. That was also the last run-in we had with Iran. Interesting how Obama decided to make some waves over there again.The Benghazi attack wasn't on Trump's list and CNN alone wrote 10,400 stories on it, according to Google.

The "pen and the phone" was Obama's excuse for bypassing Congress that "he couldn't work with" with his own executive actions.
Trump at least Tweets. He is asking the media to do their job and do it fairly. He also had an interview where he explained some of the things going on.
I'm not even going to touch this, I couldn't care less about the conspiracy theories for the Benghazi attack, I also find it sickening that people's deaths are being used as false political attack against a legitimately-elected President.
Still is the last ran-in with Iran. All Obama did was made a deal that stops Iran from having nuclear weapons, I consider that a good thing, but I want to avoid a nuclear war and creating the next IS terrorist group.
So? He had no choice as the Republicans refused to work with him on anything because to them he is a scary black muslim alien lizard monster demon. Even though he was legitimately elected twice as US President and left office with a 53% approval.
It is not the media's job to only do positive stories of Trump. They are the watchdogs.
Trump was legitimately elected by our laws. I am not going into the "popular vote" issue again because it was discussed once before.
Obama and especially Hillary Clinton herself told the families of the fallen that it was the YouTube video - AT their funeral. That is disgraceful. The media didn't report on it until the families came forward and said it!
Iran is testing weapons in spite of the ban. That was their intended outcome. They want our country's demise. They openly state it. They don't care about any "treaty" because they don't plan on keeping it - their actions prove it. They are going to end up with a nuclear weapon.
Obama was a lightweight phony who didn't want to work with Congress - he wanted the Republican Party's downfall and ended up ruining his own party instead.
When you get into personal attacks the way Obama and Clinton did, it means they have NOTHING to stand on. Debate over.
They aren't watching; that's the problem! They coddled Obama and Clinton and just "can't believe" that the people didn't vote with Hollywood. If anyone tried to write anything against them, they got silenced or forced to have been removed. There are journalists left out in the cold that are also coming forward with the tricks of the media.
