Bob Schieffer is an old-school newsman. There’s no doubt that the former Face the Nation host leans left, but he is still capable of reporting, you know, the news. That is too much for denizens of the modern MSM to tolerate.

On today’s Reliable Sources on CNN, Schieffer reported the glaringly obvious truth: that President Trump gave a good speech in Saudi Arabia today. Guest host John Berman had to push back: “you know, Bob, though, that there will be people who look at that last comment you made and say you’re normalizing the president.”

Schieffer gave the perfect response: he wasn’t trying to normalize Trump, he was trying to do what reporters [are supposed to] do: report.

There you have it. There is literally nothing that Trump can do right in the eyes of the MSM. Prepare accordingly.

That comment says it all regarding the biased & corrupt MSM. The man was fairly elected, yet the media has taken it upon themselves to determine that Trump should never be portrayed in a positive light.

One question regarding the media. Who elected those bastards to tell us what we should think?

Good response from Schieffer, but he lost all credibility as a reporter 20 years ago during the Clinton impeachment. Not sure who/whom was feeding him bogus "insider" info (particularly about WJC's grand jury testimony), but he reported a lot of stuff as fact that turned out to be complete fabrication.

He was Fake News before Fake News was even a thing.

Lord forbid we have a president that seems human.

I mean, what a letdown after 8 years of a Savior.

oh I doubt that - conservatives check them out once in a while to see if there is a glimpse of real journalism going on.

I do that a couple times a week - usually takes about 5 min to decide they haven't changed - still pumping out the DEM propaganda.

I clicked over to them immediately after Trump's speech yesterday - first words I heard were 'bringing the same message that Obama did in Cairo' - then went to a panel discussion where the first topic was 'Trump didn't address the broader problems.'

that was it for me - went back to FNC - then to History/Science/NatGeo channels.

When did "normalizing" become a thing?

Yeah, I saw that live yesterday. Like a "how dare you say anything nice about Trump". Just be honest is all I ask, which is apparently insulting for CNN.

Wow

Never thought I'd see something like this said about an American President.

Trump truly has shown us the rotting carcass of impartial journalism.

Yep, and then they failed to recall that Obama's Cairo speech "Arab Spring" was a historical disaster in foreign policy. Resulting in protesters calling Obama and HRC terrorists for siding with them via the muslim brotherhood--Morsi.

Obama turned the ME into a huge dumpster fire. But his speech was good because he said it would be an arab spring.

'normalizing' to leftists and the media means reporting on him fairly. They can't have none of that.

The media is beyond saving at this point. Their perception of their purpose has been warped, and we will never trust them again.

I'm a liberal and I think Trump's speech was courageous.
