[FULL TITLE] [The media pokes and prods at Trump’s health: The president’s doctor answered every question, even the silly ones.]

“Does the president watch too much TV?”

“Is he limited to one scoop of ice cream now?”

“Did you address drug addiction?”

There were plenty of important questions asked to Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, President Donald Trump’s personal physician, during his nearly hour-long marathon briefing on Trump’s health. But the longer it went on, the more opportunity it gave reporters to exhaust every question they could think of—leading some on the right to paint the media as unwilling to accept that the president is in good health.

Donald Trump, Jr. weighed in on Twitter, saying, “Watching media trying to ask the Rear Admiral Jackson (The White House Dr) questions in ways that leaves an opening to attack @realDonaldTrump's health after an amazing report, cognitive & otherwise, is like watching Dumb & Dumber 1:1,000,000 ‘So you're saying there's a chance!’”

The Daily Caller editor in chief Geoffrey Ingersoll tweeted, “WH press accepting the results of Trump's cognitive exam like they did the results of the 2016 election.”

The media is so disappointed in the results. They hoped Trump was in very bad health. First they lose Hillary. Then they get POTUS Trump. And now he is pronounced in good health by a team of 12 doctors? What’s next? Mueller can not find evidence of Trump colluding with Russians?

Oh well, they can always focus on Sxxx-Hole countries comment.

The media should be ashamed of themselves for their idiocy today. Sadly, liberals know no shame for anything, ever.

My favorite part was when Trump’s doctor told the hyenas that Trump will be in great physical health through his second term.

Is it possible for these morons to degrade any further a profession that years ago was a little respectable. Get some of the media buffoons to take the 30 test and have the results broadcast. They think they are the sharpest people. Time to prove it. Go on journo clowns. Take the 30 challenge.

Is it possible for these morons to degrade any further a profession that years ago was a little respectable.

It's virtually im-possible.

At some point, beginning 10 years ago or thereabouts, the Propaganda Media reached what amounted to the "point of no return.

In my mind, this occurred around the time that Barack H. Obama was anointed—by the Media—to be the next President of the United States.

Anyone over 15 years of ago should be aware of the fact that—up to that point, nearly the entire citizenry was fully aware of the fact that the Media had an inherent anti-conservative bias, which was on display at almost all times except for "wartime".

Now, about half of the population was Leftist or "Democrat" anyway, and matched the worldview of the Biased Media. Of that fraction of the populace, there were the oblivious "Liberal" masses, who simply bought into the propaganda completely and willingly. The remainder were fully aware of the Media bias, and tolerated it (secretly cheering it on) although generally unwilling to admit the its existence.

The other portion of the People knew it was there, but they could rely on the fact that the bias was more subtle, and often there was even a semblance of professional journalism occurring.

Once Obama took power, this all began to change. Basically the Media—whether intentionally, willingly, or not—dropped all pretext of being balanced, and became a blatant, raw propaganda mouthpiece of the Swamp. Whatever components one would like to ascribe to the Swamp itself—all branches and bureaucracies of the Government; the national Corporate Media: Online, Broadcast, Print; the Deep State; every other intelligence agency; the public school system—the "Media" has now become just the most transparent, comical shills for the "Establishment", that they've transformed themselves into a laughingstock to any and every thinking American.

It's hard to believe any Media anywhere at any time in recorded history could be worse. I mean, it's like these clowns want to be Soviets, but they forget that they have to function within a "capitalist", open Press—a system wherein their ridiculous shenanigans with the Truth can be pointed out at any time by news outlets and journalists who actually take their jobs and professions seriously. These idiots are just so inept, they make State-controlled Media like the USSR's Pravda—and its ilk—look like geniuses by comparison. In the USSR, everyone knew the State-controlled Media was often full of sh-t. But they had nowhere else to go. The People have countless alternatives, and so when they see something that looks fishy, they can check out other "perspectives".

This environment means the the Propaganda Media—acting as a fully-owned subsidiary of the Globalist Establishment are more and more vulnerable to their Fake News being exposed. And that's just what's happening. Their credibility is steadily slipping, and it's not the kind of trend that's likely to reverse itself anytime soon.

The Propaganda Media make themselves look like bigger fools with each passing day...

covering for the clintons. And CNN went from daily pressers on desert storm to Sham and Woodford crying when Clinton got impeached.
