[McCain (D, AZ)]: Mr. President, stop attacking the press

The Washington Post ^ | 1/16/2018 | Senator John McCain

President Trump does not seem to understand that his rhetoric and actions reverberate in the same way.

He has threatened to continue his attempt to discredit the free press by bestowing “fake news awards” upon reporters and news outlets whose coverage he disagrees with.

Whether Trump knows it or not, these efforts are being closely watched by foreign leaders who are already using his words as cover as they silence and shutter one of the key pillars of democracy.

What press? The press is dead. What's left is little more than a self-appointed (anti-)American Pravda. They deserve to be exposed for who and what they are. And by the way, to Sen. Flake and his ilk, if you think we need the president to tell us how full of $hit the media are, you're grossly underestimating the intelligence of the average American.

Trump should continue to attack the press so long as the press continues to turn everything against Trump.

Senator Juan “Songbird” McCain is also a mendacious coprophagian.

McLameBrain compares what is being done to journalists in other third-world S— holes, to what DJT is doing to our precious snowflake media here. Wow.

[Ladysmith]

STFU, McLane, you and the deep state press can drop dead.

This is the same idiotic reasoning behind,

“This is a recruiting tool for Terrorists”

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

When are “The Fake News Awards”??

[rbmillerjr]

Songbird McCain couldn’t make crucial votes, but has the energy to pen another hit piece on President Trump.

He pines to be on his knees for Obama again.

Just blow away into dust.

“Press, stop attacking the President”

My thoughts exactly

[BitWielder1]

President Trump does not seem to understand...

Somehow he seems to understand more than the press.
The Media are just not used to pushback from the President, he's supposed to be a quiet punching bag.

From the article’s last line: “Only truth and transparency can guarantee freedom.”

I agree with that, and the media has been providing neither truth or transparency - poor John, he’s become a total ars.

[ptsal]

Press, stop attacking the President

Amen and amen.

[Lazamataz]

John McCain, don’t you have a coffin to fill?

[zerosix]

Please, Mr. McCain, please go back and relax and enjoy your wife, family and what is left of your time here on earth.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Wonder who wrote this for him?
I doubt he can write anything at this point.

[Dagnabitt]

Actuary tables - do your stuff! What’s taking you so long?

[Leep]

Use you brain John..oh wait.

[JimRed]

Mr. McCain: Tell the press to stop attacking the President, and we’ll talk.
