Interesting article.
Some good lines in it.
For example..
“Of course, the media’s inability to damage Trump leads it to try all the more. The list of attempts is long: the dossier, the tax returns, emoluments, conflicts of interest, etc. The weight of all this, the media clearly believes, ultimately brings him down.”
Showing that the media is trying to create the news!!
Another line showing the media is trying to create the news.
“The media’s holy grail is, as it’s been for much of the campaign, about what will stick.”
Trump is not obsessed with the media. He just realizes that the traditional media is manipulating the message (news) to suit their political bias.
And he also realizes that the social media (digital media) is causing the print, audio, and video media to become obsolete.
He is merely hastening the transformation for the good of our country and the truth.
The article is written as though the fight between Trump and the Establishment Media has resulted in a draw.
It has not. Trump’s popularity is soaring, while the Establishment Media’s credibility is low and dropping.
H->! DID NOT win a Majority of the votes for POTUS!!!!
And...criticize the media...all the time.
Cancel all your subscriptions, stop going to the movies, etc.
Do not arm the enemy
Looks like the civil war will begin this way, eh?
Wonder when and where the shooting starts?
This media is determined to show Trump who’s boss.
It may prove impossible to win out against the establishment machine constituting as it does the intellectual high ground of not only America but much of the world. It’s been on the make for over 60 years.
The Democratic Party is only a small part of it - the political wing.
Is this at long last an admission about the Silent Coup? I haven't read the book, I need to, but G. Gordon Liddy says it's the only Watergate book that is accurate (and he was there).
The media is used to having their target fold and whimper. President Trump will have none of that; he just keeps moving on.
Nixon was pre-Twitter.
I also think people have heard it all. People over 35/40 years old who vote in this country have seen the media throw out the same old accusations to any politician right of Stalin. Everyone the media hates is a facist, a sexist, a nuclear threat to the world. Its the same crap that they’ve thrown at every politician who is a republican for YEARS. Same old play book, that never amounts to the horror they spout. If anything the right always capitulates and goes along with the left out of fear of looking like a bad guy. That’s another difference Trump doesn’t care if he looks like a bad guy to the media and their little circle in DC , New York City and in LA. Trump doesn’t care because he’s talking to the people so he doesn’t back down and takes them on, something they’re not used to. And all their accusations are nothing but fake hysteria and exaggerations. So when someone has the guts to call them out, like DJT does, they really don’t have much of a leg to stand on because none of their accusations have substance.

Wow, I dodn’t expect something like this coming from that American Pickers guy. Didn’t know he worked for Newsweek.
Well, maybe Frank Fritz...
What they miss is that Trump is a brilliant tactician. He is giving them the old razzle-dazzle, and they chase that last shiny thing. Oh, didn't like that one, here's another one, clothing is strategy in a body-guard of lies.
While he is cancelling the EPA, they are chasing one faux-pas. While he cancels TPP, the chase another. While he meets with unions, they chase a third. Not only are they pi$$ing in the wind, they are pi$$ing into the wind. It's hilarious. He has them in a reverse double pretzel hold and they think they are on top.
It’s just another partisan conflict. Because one side fancies itself to represent journalism makes it no more right or authoritative. Propagandists can call themselves whatever they want; it doesn’t change what they are.
When it finds it (it should have to look too hard), it should wait until the media loses almost all credibility. He should then have those colluding arrested on RICO, campaign finance and multiple wire and mail fraud violations, seize control of the media companies involved and force them to hire real editors and reporters.
Back then there was no AM radio, no internet, no FOX News and no social media. The American people now know that most of the media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DNC. Richard Nixon had no way to get around the media and present his side to the American people. Donald Trump does, and he's not afraid to do so. The legacy media has become irrelevant. They just haven't realized it yet.
Trump won’t let MSM propagandists get away with lying, so they have less to do, and become petulant.
