Interesting.
The Washington Post’s Philip Bump (full disclosure my former CNN colleague) is one of the first - or maybe so far the only - journalist at a mainstream media outlet to get what is seriously disquieting news for the mainstreamers. Here’s Phil’s headline:
Trump’s already largely won his war against the media
Phil begins his story this way:
The choice that President Trump asks America to make is a simple one and one that he’s demanded since he jumped into the presidential race. Who are you going to believe, he asks: An industry of people whose jobs depend on presenting factually accurate information about what’s happening in the world — or me?
And from the outset, we’ve seen how his supporters answer that question. They believe him.
Well, okay. Phil has something here but right off the bat he illustrates exactly - and I do mean exactly - the media’s problem.
Notice the way he describes the media? Like this: “An industry of people whose jobs depend on presenting factually accurate information about what’s happening in the world…”
Not to put too fine a point on this, but the exact reason for the media’s problem is precisely because millions of Americans believe the mainstream media (that would include, ahem, Phil’s own Washington Post) is not reporting“factually accurate information about what’s happening in the world..”

President [Trump] has done exactly what he told me he would do. He never flinches.
Over and over in one medium or another and sometimes all at once he presses home his case that:
“The press is extremely dishonest. Much of it…. And the one thing you have to do is you have to inform the public. The public has to know about the dishonesty of the press because these are really bad people and they don’t tell the truth and have no intention of telling the truth. And I know who they are and I would expose them 100 percent. And I will be doing that.”
Now comes Phil Bump in The Washington Post to admit that, well, yes, Trump approach to the media has had a serious negative effect - on the media.
At this point, the media has thrown everything up to and including the media version of the kitchen sink at Trump.
He has, as he said he would, fought back - on Twitter, on television, at rallies and on and on.
So now, to their amazement, its the media - not the President - that is losing. And they are beginning to realize it.
Evidently Phil hasn't figured that out yet.
Russia Russians Recounts San Juan Kneeling Oh What a Feeling!
NO - the liberal media is wounded, but still very much alive and flailing about.
That makes them even more dangerous.
Trump may be winning....
But the LSM still needs a beating.....
The WAPO article referenced above, finishes with:
“This is a tricky way to run a democracy.”
LOL
More #FAKENEWS. More misunderstanding of Americas’ stories by the leftists.
The way in which normal people understand stories, and the way in which the leftist understand the same story, is quite different.
Two examples:
1. Bernie Sanders completely misunderstands the Robin Hood story as pointed out this week by Ted Cruz.
2. hillary Clinton completely misunderstands 1984 as is clear when why tries to reference it in her book
Liberalism is a mental disorder
That is so far from the truth that it is difficult to believe that the writer believes it. I don't think he does; he only wants other people to believe it.
So they ADMIT the media is ALL liberal..well color me shocked here I thought they were supposed to be neutral, silly me
Trump has bitch-slapped the liberal media.
Donald Trump is truly the most courageous POTUS of our lifetime. I admire him tremendously because he is not just a fighter, he’s a street brawler and a gladiator—who knows how to win.
The petty and fundamentally dishonest fake news media are no match for our president,
May God bless and protect our great President Trump. We are so lucky and blessed to have him.
“An industry of people whose jobs depend on presenting factually accurate information about what’s happening in the world”
That, coming from a Washington comPost reporter, whose job depends on licking Jef Bezos’ butt! The MSM democrat minions have no shame.
No other President in history has exposed and challenged the MSM like President Trump. His legacy is already written in history.
P.O.T.U.S. Trump, lied to me, P.O.T.U.S. said I would get tired of WINNING!!
I'm not tired of WINNING, and I'm loving it. ;>)
GO P.O.T.U.S. Trump.
In full disclosure, I hate to admit it, but I was a Ted Cruz supporter. My wife, who was a Trump supporter from the get-go, won't let me forget it either.
P.S. Wife & myself are former New Yorker's, (Born & Raised) now residing in the People's Republic of Washington {state,} i.e., the other Washington.
GO TRUIMP GO
Make that GO TRUMP GO
Surely he isn't talking about American JOURNALISTS ...
