Every day, we hear libs complaining about Trump "attacking the media" on Twitter.

"He's a thin-skinned petty man-child. He's not presidential. Blah blah blah."

Well how should he react? What should he do when blatant lies are reported about him in the media? Should he just sit back and take it like Bush did and watch the media destroy him? Who will set the record straight for him? The media?

What should he do in response to the lies?

By tweeting more self incriminating information.

They'd prefer the GWB approach, shut up and take it.

Would be nice if he called out blatant fake news on both sides. Would help his credibility a lot.

The left and media are the bullies of the world. Trump is Keaton Jones, and they just want him to sit back and continue to take their abuse without fighting back.

First they need to admit that the MSM is lying. Then they can get to this question

I personally would like to see him calmly let them prove their claims. If they can't, then what does he have to worry about?

not say anything...just like bush. they want him to keep quiet while they poison the well with completely made up bullshite. he holds rallies and goes on twitter and doesn't just defend himself but explicitly calls out shenanigans. even if it is one that wasn't getting traction like weigel's picture

they want the BS stories to stick, the retractions to not make the rounds and trump isn't having any of it

he rubs their nose in it while calling attention to it. notice they never have any criticism of the people who print fake news other than a defense..."we all make mistakes"

They want him to not to fight back. It’s what they are used to from the gope, and they can not operate or adapt to someone who doesn’t instantly roll over for their hissy fits.

It comes down to this for me:

If it makes Liberals absolutely bat-shite crazy, it's probably a good thing for our country, my family, and me.

If it makes Liberals happy, 99 out of 100 times it something that is anti-American, perverse, reduces our 1st or 2nd Amendment freedoms, or is intended to indict the rich, the white, or the religious.

Ergo, if Trump's tweets make the MSM flip out... undoubtedly it's a good thing.

This is exactly what they want and expect, based on the past behavior from Republicans.

This is expected not only from the media, but from the demented progressives who lap up all of their lies without questioning any of it.

I used to get so pissed off at Bush and the Republicans for just sitting back and letting the Democrats and media smear them and not say a fricking word in their own defense. Granted, they didn't have Twitter back then, but goddamn, get on national TV and defend yourself you fricking cucks.

Only one reply from the libs, and it was just gibberish from a delusional hillbilly.

I think much of the press' product is for self-consumption. I think most of their complaints, unfortunately for them, are also essentially being consumed and heard primarily by their peers. The average Joe doesn't care about the press' complaints. They are the least sympathetic institution in the country at the moment and they have demonstrated zero capacity or inclination for self-examination or correction. They have little credibility and no one to blame but themselves.
