In the afterglow of the inauguration of their hero, Obama, the Tampa Bay Times set up something similar.

On my phone i see an article titled "Trump Promise Tracker: Where His Pledges Stand" but nothing about an unfulfilled promise tracker.

It's perfectly fine to hold our leaders accountable however don't mischaracterize their initial position to ensure a promise not kept to fulfill your propaganda desires.

They did the same for Obama, right?
No? shite. I'm surprised.

Ok. That's not what I asked.

Yup, you're right.

Hey ABCNews, I'm still waiting on the consequences from that red line being crossed in Syria. Where's the tracker for that?!

This is literally what everyone wanted. A president who does what he says he would do and doesn't lie through his damn teeth. And this is a tracker to hold him accountable. Edit: I absolutely see the issue from abc. By not including things already done, they are clearly trying to make him look bad. The media is obviously full of shiite. But the concept of a tracker is great if someone unbiased can do his.
We get all that-- the point everyone's making is where was anything even remotely close to this scrutiny with Obama for the past 8 years? Link us to just one news organization that had anything close to a "promises tracker" of any kind. Can you not see the double standard or are you so partisan you just cannot admit it? And 5 days in to the presidency no less.

I don't care that Trump is being held accountable. That's a good thing.
I simply wish that Democrats would hold their own accountable as well.
Sadly, they don't care at all about accountability in their own party.

You strike me as the type of LA leftist who had a rough childhood of being bullied.

I edited my original post. At the end of the day, I am 100% ok with people doing things differently for trump than what was done for obama if it can be done without bias (uhh...probably impossible?)
We shouldn't be complaining about a tracker for trump bc there wasn't one for obama, we should be talking about how to accurately talk about and track trump's agenda/policies.

I gave an example on the NAFTA/TPP deal in one of my previous post. ABC lumps them together as one promise. They are different.
TPP is already a promise kept.
NAFTA is going to take some time.

The liberals would like that. Let's just ignore media bias altogether.
It's fine to point out their obvious bias and agenda and then discuss their coverage of Trump with that knowledge.

Of course there is bias. There is bias on this board. There is bias on abc news.
Who can produce a tracker without bias? That's what I want to see.

Good thing Obama is a total failure. By his failure to not cross the "red line" he kept our troops out of intervention that only Graham, McCain, Hillary and other neocons are interested in fighting.

They lead with the "Muslim Ban" as well. Wow they are not even trying to hide it anymore...
