So how does ABC call the MMA event a 'mixed' reception for tRump

[Norbert]

All I heard was boooooooos.

1. CNBC headline

Trump cheered and booed at mixed martial arts fight in Madison Square Garden

2. There were some reports of cheering, but the booing was louder.

3. Yahoo News also calls it a "Mixed" Reception

4. Msnbc has called it mixed several times already today

5. imagine if they artificailly raised the volume like all the news agencies did with Howard Dean?

In this case, they probably turned it down some

6. What does MSNBC's Mourning Joe who is sickened by the booing

of Trump have to say about NBC’s SNL mockingly disrespectful Trump skits? The same Trump that features “Lock her up” at his rally’s. The same Trump that called sitting US Senator Cruz a liar. And the same Trump that said about Carly Fiorina: “Look at that face!’ he cries. ‘Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!’”

Sorry Joe!!! If you are sickened it should be from the disgrace to the US Presidency.

7. Because it was a mixed reception, that's how.

I watched the video. Some cheered. Some booed. Mixed reception. So, the news media reported it as such.

8. Booing and cheering are not equal but opposite

representations of emotions. Especially when one is the most radical form of disapproval expressed by a group that would have been expected to cheer adoringly. Like the dropping of the bomb was immediately counter attacked by throwing water balloons.

9. Did I say they were equal? I think not.

Now, I don't know how many people booed rather than cheered. I don't think anyone does. Both happened, though, and that was what the news media reported. Both are an emotional reaction. Both reactions are voluntary. As such, they are equal as emotional responses.

[Prosper]

11. Did I say you said they were equal? I think not.

But you did say: "As such, they are equal as emotional responses." And they are not equal as emotional responses. The emotions required to emote booing are different than the emotions required to emote cheering. Significantly different. The news media was remiss in failing to relate the surprise of the unexpected booing. I was totally surprised and stunned at the booing of Trump at two of what I considered bastions of favorable condoning Trump support. My analysis of Trump from the very beginning was that he is a classical clinical definition of charismatic. That type of charisma means that people are compelled beyond any rationalization to like him for absolutely no explainable reason. That accounts for the fact that I was stunned by the booing. It also makes me think that the booing did not come from the true charismatized Trump supporters but from free will supporters that aligned themselves with Trump believing his false promises and lies. Those rational supporters are being disillusioned to the point of abandonment. Trump's very first lie which was a departure from his position of less than a month before that he would not raise the minimum wage because he wanted to keep USA wages cheap and competitive. His new at that time after announcing running "Lots of good paying jobs" and "Make America Great Again" and "Health Insurance for everybody" followed by Health Insurance for everybody whether they could pay or not. All those lies were very appealing to a lot of people. Those are the supporters that are probably booing him now. Hard to say how many unrelenting supporters he has but it is probably enough to make him dangerous.

10. Did they mention that, had the turd had ANY control over crowd selection

there would have been ZERO booing?

I didn't think so.



The turd is batting 2 for 2 in getting honest reactions when regular guy joe and regular gal jane are allowed in...

You will see THAT come to a screeching halt.

12. I only heard boos.

But I guess they have to make shit up to spare the little snowflake's precious fee fees.

13. When I listened to the clip last night, it sounded like a fairly even mix to me.

But it's hard to say, as it just becomes noise.
