What undercuts the entire argument for 'precedented' are:

1. The conduct described for each president is not defining for each of their entire presidencies; the bad behavior exceptions are not the rule, both connotations of the word.

2.) None of the presidents mentioned displayed the breadth and depth of ignorance and stupidity that Trump brings to the table.

3.) Fox News deserved the animus from the Obama WH, housing as they did proponents of birthirism and an amazingly large collection of misleading graphs and charts used to describe the economy. Look it up. They were electronic Sharpies.

4.) Taking into account the worst behavior of each president mentioned, Trump is decidedly the whole package. There are no redeeming exceptions to his rule. Look how many different presidents had to be mentioned to compile the litany of Trump misconduct.

From his campaign down to today Trump's vitriol, venality, pettiness, anger, resentment, grievance nurturing, bigoty, willful ignorance and astounding levels of stupidity, from ONE president are, yes, unprecedented.

Your source is, weak.

Analysis / Bias

In review, the New York Post tends to publish stories utilizing sensationalized headlines with emotionally loaded wording such as “Cop cold-cocks unarmed man ‘acting irate’ at restaurant”, and “It’s time for Bill Clinton to take a walk in the Chappaqua woods.” The New York Post also republishes news from other sources such as the least biased Associated Press.

In general, more stories favor the right, but the NY Post does not shy away from reporting negative coverage of the right, if it is a big story. They also tend to source their information properly, however many times the headline misleadingly exaggerates the actual story they are reporting.

Editorially, The Post has endorsed the Republican Presidential Candidate in every race since 1980. However, in 2016 they did not offer an endorsement for the Presidential election to either candidate.

According to an LA Times article, the New York Post was reported to be the preferred newspaper of U.S. President Donald Trump, who maintains frequent contact with its owner, Rupert Murdoch. The Post, According to a survey conducted by Pace University in 2004, was rated the least-credible major news outlet in New York. Further, The Post has been criticized since the beginning of Murdoch’s ownership for “sensationalism, blatant advocacy, and conservative bias.”

A factual search reveals several failed checks.

?Mostly False: Ted Cruz ‘same senator who once supported a ban on sex toys’ – Mostly False
?Newly Discovered Planet Could Destroy Earth Any Day Now – False
?Hillary Clinton Regularly Had Her Maid Print Classified Documents – Unproven
?PS 169 Pledge of Allegiance and Holiday Ban Controversy – Mostly False
?‘New York Post’ op-ed rebuts starving children claim that was never made – Pants on Fire

Overall we rate the New York Post on the far end of Right-Center Biased due to story selection that typically favors the Right and Mixed (borderline questionable) for factual reporting based on several failed fact checks. (7/16/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 7/13/2019)

Nearly 500 Accomplishments by President Obama, With Citations

Obama Was a Great President

I know it is hard to believe now, but it wasn’t that long ago that we had a perfectly sane, competent and adult presence in the White House.

It’s only been a little over four months since that was the case, although there are times when it seems like it’s been years since then. Most of our presidents have been good for America, although most of those who haven’t have been Republican, which should shock no one. Go ahead and look it up. Name the last time a serious recession or depression happened when a Democrat was in charge.

Anyway, President Barack Obama faced more obstacles to implementing his agenda than anyone in history, despite the characterizations of many that he was some sort of disaster.
And while I would like to say that the right wing generally and the Republican Party more specifically, were the reasons why his record wasn’t better, the professional left had a hand in things, too. They labeled him as a “disappointment” because he didn’t come into office and undo everything the Bush Administration had done in the first two years and they handed Congress back to the opposition with the 2010 election. And let’s be clear, unicorn progressives and professional lefties targeted him because he was black as much as the right wing. It’s really not less racist to create unrealistic expectations because he’s black than it is to trash him for his blackness. Demanding that he put on a magic dashiki and take down “the man” is just as ridiculous as blocking his agenda because you can’t allow “the black president” to be successful.

Anyone who has ever referred to President Obama as anything less than “amazing” is not paying close attention.
That is why we are archiving his main accomplishments as president for posterity. And not to worry.
Every single one of these accomplishments has a link to proof from a reputable source, so no one can claim they’re lies. They are all documented.


Despite the massive hurdles he faced because he was a Democrat and because he was black, President Obama accomplished a lot. And he was more progressive than anyone who beat their chest about how “progressive” they are, but proceeded to undermine him. Look at the record…

President Obama Has Done a Lot ! Here are a Few Examples to Start You Off:

Has Trump really "Accomplished" anything... other than intending to benefit only himself?

Yeah but this one it alive and in our face. Apparently this generation(s) is not as mealy mouthed as those that preceded us.
