Donald Trump won the presidential race in 2016 by running against the media.
I’m not telling you anything you don’t know.
But what has the Big Media apoplectic is that he has continued his war with them through the first year of his presidency.
And well he should.
The Big Media have never seen anything like this before – and, believe me, it’s got them worried.
For instance, take what Dan Rather said recently: “This is not normal,” he said when asked about his view of the White House. “There’s never been anything like this before. We’ve certainly had presidents, for example, who didn’t like the press. We’ve never had one that steadily, out of his own mouth, weighed such an unrelenting campaign against the press. This is something brand new in American history. It’s not normal.”
That’s right. It’s not normal. What is normal? It has been normal for Republican presidents since Ronald Reagan to pretend the press covering them is balanced, fair and non-partisan, when, in fact, it’s mostly made up of a pack of wild jackals out to get them.
The media in this country have long been either willing campaign surrogates for the Democratic Party or vice versa.
That was normal. And, then along came Trump.
He doesn’t take it in the shorts when the media go after him or his policies. He fights back aggressively. He even fights with them on offense. And that has the Big Media in a tizzy. They don’t know how to deal with it. They’re seeing their credibility plummeting. It’s taking a toll on them.
Mostly what they do in response is openly rip him like he’s some crazy aberration, undignified, un-presidential, unhinged. And, the more they do it, the more credibility Trump has with the American people.

A man that buys ink by the barrel should not go to war with a President with a Twitter account
Yeah. Someone finally discovered that the Internet makes "ink" a lot cheaper than it used to be.
What is funny about all this is that enemy media always reports what Trump is tweeting. So he is using them to go around them. And they still haven’t figured it out.
President Trump is an American, a ‘Proud to be an American’ American, an Unapologetic American, and is a Winner! Someone the media acolytes have NO THING in common with. A man formerly known as ‘The Donald’ is now President of the greatest country in the history of the universe! MAGA!
Yes. We on Freerepublic have been shouting this from the rooftops!
President Trump has shown the way to defeat the Progressive media. They are the enemy of the American people.
One of the reasons Trump was elected is because he isn’t afraid to take on the media and call them out. He earned a lot of “street cred” with ‘normal’ Americans for doing that and frankly, I truly enjoy seeing the enemedia getting beat up by Trump on an almost daily basis. The thing they don’t seem to realize is that it’s ‘self-inflicted’ .... if they’d quit lying & making up fake stories and do some non-biased, truthful reporting, the trips to the woodshed & subsequent thrashings by Trump would stop. I think they’re in ‘masochist media mode’ i.e. “the beatings will continue until morale improves” & there’s slim chance of the enemedia changing their wicked ways.
