Chuck Todd and the other journalists at NBC are openly fuming that Donald Trump continues to call out the biased coverage of his administration. During Thursday’s press conference, an angry Todd tweeted, “This not a laughing matter. I'm sorry, delegitimizing the press is un-American.”
He later whined, “Press bashing may feel good to folks but when it's done by people in power, it's corrosive. Take off your partisan hats for a second.” During live coverage, Lester Holt chided, “It was contentious. It was ugly at moments and we haven't seen anything like it.”

Hogwash! Disagreeing with the press, when appropriate, is an American responsibility!
SO the media doesnt like to be humiliated in front of everyone without being able to defend itself?? Now you know what it feels like to have Sht crammed down your throat... Bite me.
Man, you tell it like it is!
The party is over. Sniff-sniff.

How dare he respond to our ugly, un-American coverage!!!!
Hey, F. Chuck Todd; Fake news USED TO BE un American, too. Whattaya going to do to eliminate fake news, F. Chuck? IMHO, NBC is running neck-and-neck with CNN in that department.

Good idea Chuck. Why don't YOU try taking off your partisan hat for a second?
Media bashing by Trump...BAD.
The media really needs some adults to come in and "drain their swamp".
MSM up in arms as President Trump frees their slaves in latest press conference.
Their freedom of speech does not supersede that of individuals.
A “press” was the technology of mass dissemination of information and opinion which was extant at the time of the adoption of the First Amendment. For the First amendment to contain any mention of computers and the internet would, obviously, have been an anachronism which would mark the document as a fraud.However, the framers of the Constitution anticipated the internet in principle when they declared that
The “press” mentioned in the First Amendment is therefore merely one example of the technologies of information/opinion dissemination, all - or none - of which are covered by the Constitution. And if none, then the freedom of the press is meaningless today, seeing that even the printed newspapers of today are created with vastly superior technology now than in the Eighteenth Century. “None” is also excluded by the proper reading of the Ninth Amendment
- Article 1 Section 8.:
- The Congress shall have power . . . To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries . . .
makes plain that the First Amendment is to be understood only as a floor under our rights. And not as a ceiling above them.
- Amendment 9:
- The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
We all have freedom of the press, whether or not we actually own a printing press yet. And we all have freedom of the press via the Internet. The confusion, deliberately propagated, is that you are only part of the press if you are a member of the Associated Press. That is the implicit claim - and it is hokum. Pure bunk. Arrogance, and nothing more.
“the PRESS”
conjuers up images of a guy in a fedora with the card PRESS stuck in the band and a flashbulb camera with a greasy sandwich stufed in his overcaot pocket ..running after someone important and grovelling for an interview or paying off some desk sgt for a tip....
