President Trump, in his extraordinary press conference last week, called out the media for its brazenly biased reporting. In the 77-minute presser, he dissected their stories, called out the incessant tone of “anger” and “hatred” and clearly enunciated his view that the Trump White House is running just fine, no thanks to them.
And the new alpha wolf in town smacked the lapdog media repeatedly on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper.
“Well, the failing New York Times wrote a big, long front-page story yesterday. And it was very much discredited, as you know. It was — it’s a joke,” Mr. Trump said in answer to the third question. “The Wall Street Journal did a story today that was almost as disgraceful as the failing New York Times’ story yesterday,” he added.
How did the media respond? First, they pouted. “It was a wild press conference,” said CNN’s Jake Tapper. Mr. Trump “said things that were not true,” he whined. “It was unhinged, it was wild,” he said before bursting into tears and running from the studio.
Fox News’ Shepherd Smith also got all wee-weed up.
“It is crazy what we are watching every day, it is absolutely crazy,” Mr. Smith said. “He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we are some kind of fools for asking the question.”
Scott Pelley of CBS News, in his most anchorlike, Walter Cronkite impression, said: “Today, we learned the length of the president’s fuse: 28 days.”
So they proved his point, pretty much. All style, no substance — again. They talked about themselves — their feelings were hurt, darn it — but steered clear of covering what the president actually said.

Ping.
From the article: “the new alpha wolf in town smacked the lapdog media repeatedly on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper”
Trump attacks them for vomiting “fake news” and they “double down” on puking fake news. IMHO. The “media” is the new home for those with mental disorders.
“The “media” is the new home for those with mental disorders.”
Actually it is their ancestral home. The media has been mentally ill for decades
Walter Duranty is fast approaching a century ago.
**The “media” is the new home for those with mental disorders.**
Let’s run with that! Is this contagious (you know) like leprosy? Is this racist to suggest such a thing? Or is it like mocking a disability, like (you know) of a brother reporter?
AMAZING that President Trump is commenting on the next day’s affairs before the reporters have a clue there is a ‘next day’. He is no liar, but a psychic predicting the future. Way ahead of the “reporters” who are asking the questions.
So what does it take to get a journalism degree, anyway? Besides a student loan and a cracker jack box?
They have to occasionally show up for “class”
At least for the journalism General Studies
I only hope Trump intensifies his efforts to hold the media accountable as they continue to offer up extreme liberal bias and fake news 24/7.
They talked about themselves — their feelings were hurt, darn it — but steered clear of covering what the president actually said.
