Former Connecticut resident here in New Mexico. I was curious about the local Connecticut reporting, especially regarding the horrible, disrespectful behavior of Pres. Trump and Vice Pres. Vance toward another head of state who was tricked into a meeting where he was literally ambushed by Trump and Vance with accusations and threats.
Did your reporters not see the same unfolding of the event as did I and millions of Americans? And yet the stories on today's NBC CT website are veiled anti-Zelenski and overly apologetic to the bullies, President Trump and Vice President Vance and the entire circus.
"Many with Ukrainian ties here in Connecticut said it was a hard watch." An understatement if ever there was one!!!
"Elon Musk welcomes baby No. 4 " Makes me ill. This is news WHY?
"Trump objected to Zelenskyy's tone and body language in Oval Office clash, White House says" - really? This is a totally inappropriate twist on who had foul language. There was no "clash" it was a pile up by Trump and Vance. Trump/Vance owe Zelinsky an apology.
"What they said: Trump, Zelenskyy and Vance's heated argument in the Oval Office" - the only ones heated and shouting were Trump and Vance. Zelensky was restrained and was the only adult in the room. I was hoping he would punch Trump and break his jaw, but Zelenski is too much a gentleman to even raise his voice to the disgusting excuse of a president of the US.
A few more points with some repetition:
1) this meeting was a set-up to gang up on Zelensky
2) Trump had no intention of coming to an agreement
3) the intention was to make it look like Zelensky was the one who didn't want to make an agreement
4) it was not a shouting match: Trump and Vance did all the shouting
5) Zelensky was the adult in the room
6) Trump was an utter disgrace and treated Zelensky with disrepect and contempt
7) Vance threw gasoline on the fire and was a complete ass (except that he stated clearly that Russia invaded Ukraine)
8) Trump's TruthSocial note was meant to make Zelensky look like the bad guy: always, always, projection when it comes to Trump being wrong.
9) *****the media will whitewash the story and give Trump the edge******
10) We should all be embarrassed by Trump, Vance and the entire administration and any republican who will not see what transpired and continues to kiss the trumpian felonious ass.
I, my husband and friends are all disgusted with what Trump and th republicans are doing to illegally dismantle the government and our democracy.
So is NBC going to be complicit or will you all start reporting the illegalities and dangers that are an everyday occurrence?
I hope journalists and the rest of us survive this fascist coup.
