I think making the decision to go against one of the two major presidential candidates in the election, and really, being totally in the tank for one of the two major political parties for decades, has delegitimized the press a long time ago.
This past year, the constant hammering against Trump was unprecedented, and really hurt them in the long run. Now that he’s president, despite their efforts, has come back to haunt them, and Trump is not simply going to take it. He fights back. How will this end? I believe they will lose.
They can’t hide from this, but they try. Todd’s claim is patently ridiculous given the facts.
It’s actually quite amazing just how far out on the Leftist limb they’ve gone in let’s say the past 500 days or so.
We all see it, plain as day. They are propagandists, plain and simple.
At what point does criticism turn into "delegitimizing?" And how does "invalid criticism" (assuming for the sake of argument that is what critics of the press are engaged in) case the loss of credibility? Answer, it doesn't. If the press or any other institution is deligitimized, it is self-inflicted.
All their claims about "watchdog", "constitutional role," and "objectivity" are self-serving (false) claims that aim to lull the unwary into granting trust.
Biggest liars in the country.
The more he tweets the more fake news they excrete. They can't compete. Fun to watch their frustration and lamentations, the president exposes the MSM simultaneously triggering a self destructive feedback loop. Magic or MAGA? probably both.
Every tweet Trump develops further his complex relationship with his followers as we weave together our understanding of how the government is functioning, what the culture zeitgeist is and how he is enacting change toward MAGA.
