Donald Trump Is Driving the Media Nuts
newsbusters.org ^ | Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 02/20/2017 7:40:53 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Donald Trump’s term in office is only four-weeks old but he’s got the liberal media and Hollywood elites losing their collective minds. It’s hard to keep track of all the nasty accusations they’ve made.

On Trump’s temporary travel limits, they’ve charged he’s echoed “Nazi” language in his effort to “turn off that lamp on the Statue of Liberty,” that has resulted in a reaction that, as Huffington Post’s Howard Fineman concluded, “Osama Bin Laden, himself, would have prayed for.”

Chuck Todd and Dan Rather have claimed he’s currently mired in a scandal on the levels of Iran-Contra and Watergate.

The media have also questioned Trump’s mental stability. FNC’s Shephard Smith ranted “It’s crazy what we’re watching every day,” MSNBC contributor Christopher Dickey warned his viewers “people in European governments think that Trump has lost his mind,” former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann charged “I don’t believe him sane, flatly,” and The View co-host Joy Behar asked Dr. Phil “Do you think that’s a mental illness, narcissism, and if so is he fit to be president?”

The outrage over Trump has gotten so-out-of hand, some in the press are even fearing for their very lives as MSNBC correspondent Katy Tur worried: “Since 2000, been a couple dozen suspicious deaths of journalists in Russia who came out against the government there. Donald Trump has made no secret about going after journalists and his distaste for any news that doesn’t agree with him here. Do you find that this is a dangerous path he is heading down?”

I say he is removing their masks.

I say that too and raise you $1 million.

this is SO MUCH FUN! President Trump is finishing the destruction of the RAT party and their presstitutes too. Hussein and crocked Hillary laid the foundation, Donald Trump is building on their lies at a rapid pace. Even the idiots who voted for Hussein (America's FIRST Muslim President) and Hillary are STARTING to get it. And this is just month #1!

Pres Trump is doing the MSM a great service.

They will be thanking him someday for saving their AM1 *rights*. Presently, they are showing themselves to be an extremely biased hit mob, & people are noticing. It would be equally bad if they were just as biased toward the other side.

Trump is publicly pointing out their bias, causing great weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.

MSM has to be getting embarrassed by being caught purveying FAKE NEWS. Maybe one of these *reporters* will start being more careful soon...(I can dream, can't I)

America NEEDS an honest, un-biased press in order to stay free!

The Main Stream News media is facing the same issue as record companies, book stores, and churches. The advent of new media has made them obsolete and they are fighting to stay relevant. There is no way they can reverse this and would be best severed to find an alternative business model. However, they won’t do this and will continue to flail around moaning and fighting as they go down.

Yes! Their fair, eloquent and intellectual veneer is falling off quickly, exposing their biased, ignorant and mean core.

Everyday working Democrat voters are seeing it plainly now, as well as seeing the protestors’ childishness and meanness. Truth will out, always. Karma is.

This indeed is GREAT. The mediaidiots are so vexed that I now just see a boatload of wet slimey fish flopping around the bottom of the Trump trawler as it takes its haul to the cannery.

Keep putting the hurt on these big losers Mr POTUS!

Tainted, but delicious in so many ways.

The hard-left media is killing its credibility.

You wouldn't know it watching all the news. Nothing that President Trump is doing is reported. Looks bad.

That's not a 'drive' that's a 'gimme' putt. You golfers will understand.

If DJT is driving, he managed to wrestle the keys from BO’B.
It may be a short drive; the media was well on it’s way to arriving at the nut cracking stage before DJT began the journey.
Unlike the last driver, he will continue the journey without driving into the ditch.

Did anyone watch Mike Wallace's interview with Reince Priebus yesterday?

Red-diaper baby Wallace completely lost it in his unconcealed hatred for Reince and President Trump. I truly thought he would have a stroke right there on the set. His questions were evil, insulting and were all of the "gotcha" type.

He was trying SO HARD to be a "hard-hitting" interrogator and to nail Reince that he went almost completely over the edge.

Even the usually unflappable Priebus at one point urged Wallace to calm down.

Wallace is sick with inner rage and hatred and it's showing up routinely now in his work.

In my opinion he WENT over the edge insulting and NOT first time either, he’s such a smock and his inbox ought to be filled with protest to the brim. Better he should be forced off the air !!!

Shows no wonder they are called THE FAKE NEWS, rightfully so. They ALL have totally lost their minds and can’t think straight after Killary was sent to the “Silent Corner” !!!

Chris was taking it VERY personally about the fake news, wow. He must have a lot of guilt going on.

It is crazy what we’re watching every day. Big chunks of the America Left have lost their ever-loving minds! They’re ranting insane people.

I don’t know when Shep’s contract is up, but I am guessing Fox will not want to renew it.

They shouldn’t have renewed it after his histrionics during Katrina.
