    I see bias as the enemy of which Trump is a participant along with the media.

    These are the words of a dictator. Lenin, Mao, Stalin all painted their opponents as "enemies of the people". You may support Trump but even his most vociferous supporters should think about his words. He has singled out a number of media outlets for the tag "enemy of the people". Others, favoured others, are not singled out for opprobrium. "I don't like you because you criticise me", is fair enough, but enemies of the people? Dangerous, deluded, megalomaniacal.

    Dictators are not defined by words, they are defined by their actions. Enemies of the people are defined by their disregards of the will of the people, among other things, by lies to the people and the attempts to brainwash and fool them. A big chunk of the corporate mainstream media fits right in.

    LOL just because you blindly listen to your rulers and watch what your rulers tell you to watch, does not mean we do.

    Words precede actions, like tilling the ground.

    Dictators do the brainwashing and fooling through useful idiots among other tactics.

    As for the "mainstream" media I prefer to see them as the professional media, as opposed to the outliers. In that I include - believe it or not - Fox and other Murdoch media businesses as well as the non-Murdochs. While Fox and the Murdochs are vehemently anti-anything on the left at least they make an attempt at justification for their positions.

    Unfortunately you can do nothing until he acts - no I will amend that. If you can identify a house of representative or Senate member who you even have a wild connection to - on either side of the bench - write to them. Put your concerns down. Speak up. Dont wait for the night of the long knives

    Unless they don't.

    You are describing the corrupt corporate mainstream media, right? Or it's ok when they do it on the Libs' behalf?

    You're entitled to see what you want to see, the rest of us see them as biased, dishonest, intellectually lazy corporate/liberal stooges.

    The media has been trying to push their opinions down the throats of the populace for some time. I prefer critical thought and comming to my own opinions. I get tired of trying to seperate data and fact from opinion, insinuation, speculation, and assumption everytime I turn on the news. Trump points it out but most people are too programmed to know they are being fed someone elses opinion. They think opinions are facts.

    Just the fake news liars. trump has great respect for reporters that don't lie. Even the ones that write tough stories on him when they are true. He said this himself at his press conference. you should know this already.

    It's about damn time a Republican calls out the left-wing hack media that is colluding with the Democratic Party. Good job Mr. President.

    Intentional dishonesty or you forgot by the end of the post that you named the FIVE media outlets within your post that he has identified as dishonest? You should listen to whoever you like. He doesn't own you.

    I wonder if any Democrats are starting to actually fall for their own faux paranoiac rants? No one else believes any of it of course. But if they say it enough millions of times they may start believing it themselves.

    Hopefully there is not some mass Democrat suicide protest due to being fully overcome with guilt over being white and in full terror of the future.

    Last I checked, that is not "ALL media". When you create thread titles that are complete lies, you are a liar and you have no credibility.

    Those media outlets are liars, propagandists, and anti-American. I can agree with Trump on that.

    That seems some fashion of an oxymoron in light of your OP message.

    HuffPo Hallucinates:

    There are two clues that the Huffington Post is hallucinating and I’m not. The first clue is that they have a trigger and I don’t. Reality violated their egos, whereas I was predicting a Trump win all along. My world has been consistent with my ego. No trigger. All I have is a warm feeling of rightness.

    The second clue is that the Huffington Post is seeing something that half the country doesn’t see. As a general rule, the person who sees the elephant in the room is the one hallucinating, not the one who can’t see the elephant. The Huffington Post is literally seeing something that is invisible to me and other observers. We see a President Trump talking the way he normally talks. They see a 77-minute meltdown.

    English Ivy is my #1 enemy right now. Maybe by the end of summer I can bump the media up a notch.

    So, a blogger who is just posting his own opinions, has no editorial oversight or even legal advice let alone investigative integrity is saying that other people are wrong?

    Of course not he isn't even thinking about that and there are plenty of other media that dfon't agree with him but don't go to the trouble of inventing half truths and whole lies in an attempt to put him out of the way.

    It is arguable whether or not there is any sort of rational oversight at huff'n'puff or for that for that anyone that is in particular rational.

    BS. Hitler started out going to jail after a failed coup.

    Isn't is obvious what he should do? He is already doing it, he is exposing this corrupt, lying, lazy, intellectually dishonest media to the American people and the entire world... nothing more, nothing less.
