Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is directly targeting the media:
We see it with the Mainstream media all the time. They write stories that are factually inaccurate. They're never held account. And I think in general the American people are tired of being told by the political elites and the media elites what they can and can't do, what they can and can't say. They're tired of it and that's why you saw last night in Columbus, Ohio 14,000 people came out to a Trump rally to hear it first hand from Mr. Trump about what really needs to be done to make America great, again.
Lewandowski's remarks came partly in response to Sirius XM's Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon pointing out that the media appears to be painting Trump, the GOP frontrunner, as a serial liar, no matter what he says.
While Lewandowski called out media in general, he also went after the Washington Post in particular - for refusing to admit when it's wrong.
Lewandowski specifically mentioned the recent media firestorm over what Trump did, or didn't see televised on 9-11. Respected Law and Conservative blog Powerline meticulously debunked the media attack; however, the media has continued to refuse to give Trump the benefit of any doubt.
So NPR, the New York Times and the Associated Press searched contemporaneous news accounts and could find no evidence of Muslim-Americans cheering in Jersey City. That's odd. Because it took me less than two minutes to find this story from the Washington Post dated September 18, 2001 (although I did have to spend $3.95 to buy it from the Post's archives)....

Yes.....easier to find nothing that way.
No, Alabama was bigger, Texas was bigger.
Wow. And NONE of this is being reported!
In the 3 I watched, he said to pan the crowd - the MSM liars refused. I listened to him for the full hour+, he was very entertaining. I can’t imagine listening to the others that ling, even the ones I agree with on most things!
Trump has permanently dethroned the media as a source of influence. The media is becoming irrelevant and the punditry and establishment is also becoming irrelevant. They are fighting a 20th century media war in a 21st century world.
Trump is fighting a 21st century media war and his competitors do not have the smarts or talent.
I don’t think it’s ridiculous at all. I believe, and at least 37% of Republicans agree with me, that Trump is the ONLY true leader in this campaign!
Well 37% indicates that you cherry pick your polls.....which is not surprising. But even if it is 37%, I doubt very seriously - in fact I KNOW - that supporting Trump as your favorite is NOT THE SAME thing as worshipping him as "the one" or "the only one" for all 37%. If the shoe fits......
You don’t know me. I KNOW who I worship and that is JESUS CHRIST!
Again, IMHO, at least 37% of Republicans agree with me that Trump is the ONLY true leader in this campaign!
GO TRUMP!
Hubs and I were discussing that last night.
For now, not setting anything up enables him to hammer the media hard every chance he gets-as they so richly deserve.
If he’s considering it, he’s saving it for later when things get really ugly.
you are making a totally absurd assumption that EVERY Trump supporter thinks he’s THE ONLY one.......totally illogical.
I support Cruz, but I’ve never said he’s the ONLY ONE or that ALL CRUZ supporters think he’s the ONLY one...and yet, that/s what you have done.
You might need to re-evaluate your worship.
You don’t know me or know who are my “candidates.” Stay in your lane and worry about who you support. Stop immaturely trying to badger others on who they prefer as a candidate. That’s what bullies do.
I support Trump, but Iâve never said heâs the ONLY ONE or that ALL Trump supporters think heâs the ONLY one...and yet, that’s what you have done.
You might need to re-evaluate your ignorance.
There, fixed it.
Uh, yeah, you made it pretty clear in about 100 posts....who your ONLY candidate is. Maybe you don't read what you write.
I really don’t care what you think. Trump is my candidate. You won’t change that, so let’s end this conversation.
Hope your Thanksgiving is safe.
Bye.
