All of those issues were well reported

When sam Donaldson was asked why ABC didn't report on the IRS scandal he pretended not to be aware of the story.

Your issue is that reporters, who by in large come from the same cultural background as Obama (education, east coast, etc.) treat him differently in press conferences than they do to a guy who is and has always been openly hostile to them.
The equivalent of “she wore a short skirt, she wanted it!”

If you could cite when the media covered Trump fairly you’d have a point.

I bet you love when President Trump disrespects the WH Press.


I think for every Trumpista who gets riled up by the media's treatment of Trump, there is an anti-Trumper who vows to vote against the guy, so to me it's a wash.

I'll admit I'm not wasting time on these press conferences, and that's too bad. I'd love it if Trump made a quick statement and then turned it over to the team.

Was like that at one time. Now they are the voice of their corporation.

Well, nothing beats arguing from the platform of ignorance.

Disrespectful WH Press


Remember when that Iraqi reporter threw a shoe at W? Our media and the rest on the left loved that.

Grab em by the pussy?

All I want the media to do is report facts, and correct them if they get them wrong the first time. Given Trump's tendency to lie and hide facts, I'd expect them to get them wrong now and again.

The snowflakes who whine about him being mistreated? That went for every Republican since I've been born. Only Bush, the Reagans, Ford, etc., didn't revel in being an a-hole.

These “reporters” are propaganda agents for the democrat party and foreign governments that do not have Americans’ interests at heart.

No. CNN is terrible. Cable news is terrible.

Kinda hypocritical to complain about a lack of decorum in the White House now isn’t it? Who do you think brought that sort of rudeness to the party? Here’s a hint... it’s the dude who talks about grabbing women by the vaginas.

The idea that Donald Trump isn't willing to sit still and take hit after hit from a biased media as George Bush did during his eight years makes me like him all the more.

There has seemed to be somewhat of a contrast between the 24/7 laser-like, focused, micro-detailed monitoring and critical over-analysis of every Trump move and utterance always followed up with absolutely assured and expected cynical disapproval as a response - no matter the scenario.

Compared to the 8 years of Pravda West's perpetual optimism and gushing, mincing, fawning, and slobbering over, while in an obvious constant state of abject prostration and helpless supplication, so much like the euphoric state of a whirling dervish in the presence of what must've appeared to them to be Obama's celestial radiance.

That era is the genesis of a lot of this crap, though. I blame Edward R. Murrow for starting much of it. The journalists of his time absolutely worshipped him as a god and he was a flaming leftist.
Yep. The Murrow Doctrine was be biased, but don’t get caught.

That was beautiful. Knowles broke it down perfectly.

President Trump proved his point with their own words.

If I were him. I would only call on Fox, Blaze and OAN. Responding to shitbags from XiNN, MSNPC, ChinaBS, and others will serve zero purpose other than to promote their propaganda and let them make asses out of theirselves with fake outrage.
