    The way he is trying to bully the media. And when things go bad they will not cut him slack. The long game won't work. And they will expose him.

    Refusing to talk with one or the other is bullying? OK
    Expose him about what? The problem they have with him most is that he has no political history. (i.e.; dirt)

    Nope! Not kidding. Please itemize the "trainload" you speak of. He's only been a politician for a month.

    1) Calling a spade a spade is not bullying. 2) They will never cut him slack. 3) As "long" as the public agrees that the media sucks by-and-large, it will work. 4) See three, sadly they are pissing away their ability to expose anyone's wrong doing.

    The media are reaping what they have sewn.

    Does the Left realize that the Left lost the fight and will continue to lose with strong arm tactics like this? Just sayin'

    If you're "exposing" him like you "exposed" him on the campaign trail, then he REALLY has nothing to worry about.

    Especially now that he has the power to jail whistleblowers and informants like that last guy in the oval office did before him.

    Clearly they do not, and I applaud them for ushering in the new era of GOP dominance in government. :clapping:

    So, you're saying that holding someone accountable to report the truth is bullying. Got it!

    Their job is to report facts! Not their opinion. It's called professionalism.

    No worries here. I love how the left is trying to manufacture panic as much as possible.


    The word is getting out. The people don't trust the media. After 8 years of Obama, this last election cycle was the icing on the cake.

    After being complicit lapdogs to the last administration, the media is now akin to the little boy who cried wolf. They pulled the fire alarm, and no one has left, or is leaving the building.

    Hilarious. All that is happening is that the media just reports more about Trump often going overboard making them look even worse. Trump is playing them like a fiddle. The media has a worse approval rating than Trump.

    Agreed. It's almost comical. They tried their best to paint Trump as a racist with no evidence whatsoever other than some 40+ years ago housing projects that his father owned.The MSN left wing media is in serious danger of
    becoming absolutely neutered. Independent news sources are poised to knock out the hacks into complete irrelevancy and take their market share.

    “irritability, personality changes, restlessness, lack of restraint” — any late-night tweets in particular come to mind? Then there’s these cognitive symptoms: “memory loss, mental decline, confusion in the evening hours, paranoia”

    Does the media know that the vast vast vast majority aren't even tuning in to watch/read their crap anymore?

    I have very little attraction to cable news and its been that way for some time.
    I gave up on CNN/MSNBC back in mid 2000's over all the anti bush stuff
    I gave up on Fox probably 2009 over all the anti Obama stuff
    I still occasionally watch HLN Morning express because Robin is a hottie
    Still watch BBC occasionally at night.

    Morning Talk/news, I fast forward through 85% of the political crap.
    Evening National news, ABC/CBS I probably see 2-3 times a week (seems less biased/annoying since its "man behind the desk" kind of news.

    And when things go good, we will continue to hear about how bad they're going. And most people won't believe it.

    President Trump won't get a fair shake from the media. That's simply not going to happen.

    Oh, we have the itemized "trainload" being spoken of. Unfortunately, the "trainload" happens to be the ever growing list of fake news being peddled as fact. The issue for our democracy? A large portion of the mainstream news media is deciding to foist fake news to misinform the public. I am referring to fake news items like those listed within The Federalist article:

    • Early November: Spike in Transgender Suicide Rates
    • November 22: The Tri-State Election Hacking Conspiracy Theory
    • December 1: The 27-Cent Foreclosure
    • January 20: Nancy Sinatra’s Complaints about the Inaugural Ball
    • January 20: The Nonexistent Climate Change Website ‘Purge’
    • January 20: The Great MLK Jr. Bust Controversy
    • January 20: Betsy DeVos, Grizzly Fighter
    • January 26: The ‘Resignations’ At the State Department
    • January 27: The Photoshopped Hands Affair
    • January 29: The Reuters Account Hoax
    • January 31: The White House-SCOTUS Twitter Mistake
    • January 31: The Big Travel Ban Lie
    • February 1: POTUS Threatens to Invade Mexico
    • February 2: Easing the Russian Sanctions
    • February 2: Renaming Black History Month
    • February 2: The House of Representatives’ Gun Control Measures

    The article goes in depth into each of these fake news incidents, and concludes by saying the following:

    Care to explain how these fake news situations came about?

    Exactly. See above.

    Yes. Fortunately, the President doesn't need the traditional media nearly as much as they need access to him. He can now get his message out by going directly to the people.

    Nope. See above, and feel free to explain the items on the list.

    Yes. And they are going absolutely bonkers trying to get people to buy into the cr*p they're peddling. But sorry, there are just too many instances which we know, for a fact, are fake. Again, please feel free to read the The Federalist article. That's what I'd like explained by those who continue to complain about Donald Trump. If you have issues with Trump, that's fine, but please stop making up cr*p, even while you insist that everything you are saying is absolutely true. Sorry, but the number of people willing to buy into your shouts of "Trump is bad" continues to diminish day by day, and for good reason...
