Speaking as Congress neared final approval of the historic tax bill, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders hailed the culmination of a year of major accomplishments. She cited the defeat of the Islamic State, the creation of 1.7 million new jobs, the lowest unemployment rate in 17 years, a rollback of excessive regulations, and more than 60 record highs of the stock market.
It is an impressive list, yet a catch was reflected in a question. Why, a reporter asked, in the face of such accomplishments, do polls show President Trump’s approval stuck at under 40 percent?
Sanders is good on her feet, and her answer was aggressive without being incendiary. She blamed the media for its lopsided coverage, saying it ignores accomplishments to focus on “other things” and echoed studies showing that 90 percent of TV coverage of Trump “has been negative.”
She’s absolutely right — in fact, she understated the bias that drives much of the anti-Trump coverage around the clock and around the country. And she’s right to hope that the tax bill’s help for families will help Trump’s standing in the polls.
But there’s more to the answer than media bias, and while Sanders can’t say it, I will.
Her boss remains his own biggest problem.

>I’m talking the personal insults. That is what needs to stop.
Personal insults are as American as, well John Adams:

On Alexander Hamilton
“That bastard brat of a Scottish peddler! His ambition, his restlessness and all his grandiose schemes come, I’m convinced, from a superabundance of secretions, which he couldn’t find enough whores to absorb!”
On Thomas Paine’s Common Sense
“What a poor, ignorant, malicious, crapulous mass.”
Yes. The MSM is disgusting in their relentless attacks but the President doesn’t help his cause with the tweets.
She should have mentioned that most polling is a msm manufactured bullsh!t.
WRONG! The media, with their insane and relentless negative drumbeat, has successfully burned into the brains of low information voters, that Trump is bad.
Their hate is so visceral that they are on the verge of self-destruction.
It appears that the MSM is hell bent on destroying Trump by greatly magnifying any negative news, by twisting and spinning good news into neutral or bad news, by totally ignoring the significant accomplishments of this president.
Could the problem be that we have too many billionaires that control the news business, billionaires that hate Trump? Who owns the Washington Post?
‘Trump needs to create drama to get his message out.”
I have noticed that too, when you consider the NFL flap and many other issues, it usually works!
I’m afraid your over-generalization of the situation is a mistake. Please re-read what JohnyBoy wrote and think about how President Trump is taking the fight to his / our enemies. That is a good strategy.
There are old sayings that reinforce the tweeting done by our President. One says that if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, another says if you can’t take the fight get out of the ring.
I choose to stand up with my President and take the fight to the enemy in any way I can.
Typical media apologist. Trump is mopping the floor with the media and they can’t stop him.
Trump’s Tweets are reaching too many folks for the media fake news to overcome.
Keep on keepin’ On, President Trump!
Oh thanks for your keen insight dip shit. You are the same moron who told us de Blasio was going to be taken out by corruption of the likes you’d never seen. Go away New York Post fake.

Laura Ingraham is getting Megyn Kellyitis too. Last night she was telling our POTUS how to get above his 32% approval.
We all know 32% is bogus. Apparently she doesn’t. Why is it these gals get a show and act like they are Mensa and and smarter than the man who won the Presidency defying incredible odds he would lose?
These smarty pants need to sit in the corner and do their homework.
ROFL. Wow, this guy couldn’t get out of a wet paper bag even if handed an AR15.
Aren’t we all?
Yes, he is a brazen egotist...
AND .... he is WINNING — BIGLY !!
When people realize the extra cash in their pockets come February, people will be happy and spending their extra money.
Laura’s new Fox News show has been a big disappointment.
Imagine, on the threshold of President Trump’s first major legislative accomplishment, to start off her program with that hit piece!!
Then, after her show, Shannon Bream had another cheap segment with Stirewalt on the same subject.
As far as I’m concerned, President Trump’s biggest enemy is his AG Sessions!
I hope Lou Dobbs bans Goodwin from his show.
I noticed how snarky he was the other night, appearing as usual with Ed Rollins.
I will not watch her show anymore. The only reason I heard that last night is that my TV was still on. Laura has become a mean snot. Sure glad Trump never picked her for anything. She is a control freak.
As to Stirewalt. He is a sour pig and he is always put on mute at my house.
What a disappointment.
> Here’s the problem with the media. Do they really think people outside their dumb little bubble know about that woman or care what POTUS said to her via a tweet?
I believe even those within that dumb bubble get it, but would never admit it.
Those who follow, without a Marxist ideology, also get it. Those who don’t follow closely, don’t care but like what Trump is doing - and even (as we’ve seen some indications) some ‘neverTrumpers’ whose policies are being implemented. They’ll still complain about his tweets, but they see things happening that haven’t happened in years.
