Recent media coverage of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has noted that the loudmouthed billionaire currently leading the Republican field in public opinion polls has been increasingly eager to complain to his audiences about how the “dishonest” media is covering his campaign.
Floating theories about NBC suppressing coverage of its own polls in order to report on other findings less friendly to Trump and about the heat on the stage at CNN’s debate last week, the real estate mogul and former reality television star has come across as a little bit paranoid.
Of course, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t meant they aren’t out to get you....

What conservative media?
Conservative Media? What is that?
Faux News? LOL
What else is new. This has become a Minuet of Marionettes.
Trump can’t articulate the issues. I realize most Freepers can’t either, but the Republican nominee must have this ability. If he wants to be the nominee he needs to study so he can say more than “Food good, fire bad.”
Oh this is really rich. Well, Mr. Trump, with these “conservatives” after you you can sleep well tonight and every night.
NEWSFLASH:: The *Media* Trump is warring with is NOT conservative.
Well, you definitely can't "win" if you don't suit up and get your ass out there on the field. The Democrats know that. They never say CAN'T.
....”Trump can’t articulate the issues”....
That’s correct....remember he said he’s a “closer”. But who did all the footwork for him before he closed these deals in his work?.....This one he’s got to sell himself, and do the footwork, as well as articulate the substance.....it’s just not happening.
He was great at rallying people....but he’s struggling now that most want a “ the package delivered” and one that is his and not ‘borrowed’ from whatever sounds good at the moment.
Yet he’s in first place in every poll, gets millions of dollars in free publicity every week, is polling at 25% with black voters, doing well with Hispanics, drives the narrative and is getting tons of crossover votes.
I'm sick of listening to some politico wax on about their version of facts. In the end they say the same thing as Trump on any given subject, it just takes them a whole lot longer to get there.
If the issues are illegal alien invasions, dead women in San Francisco, the 2nd Amendment, veterans, and glowbull warming, he can articulate them just fine.
Maybe you can’t understand plain English.
Fox News has already surrendered. The war is over.
Trump will allow Roger Ailes to beg for forgivness at the Trump Tower next week.
Karl Rove, George Will and Rich Lowry should be fired before Trump should even consider returning to the network.
I am pretty sure he is releasing a book in October that outlines his positions...
I wonder if Lowry is projecting, in that he may be a Eunuch himself? This whole episode with Fox has been odd. But an interesting theory has been put forward. Trump daughter Ivanka is good friends with Murdoch’s ex wife. Murdoch hates that, so he gave orders through Ailes to savage Trump.
The problem is Trump cannot blame his own pathetic debate performance on anyone but himself. The electorate has reacted to Trump's performance in the second debate just as I predicted they would do in the first debate.
My timing was off, Trump's standing in the polls did not taper off until he repeated his boorishness in the second debate but the analysis looks to have been correct. Donald Trump is an animal of the media who can live only so long as his momentum grows. His momentum has stopped and his standing might even be seriously declining. Once the Ponzi scheme runs out of new investors in the Donald Trump myth, the whole edifice comes down.
Will it crash on the way down or simply erode? That is difficult to predict and probably dependent on Trump's own behavior. But if past is prelude Trump will engage his mouth either in debates or otherwise and his hubris will ultimately bring him down.
The Republican establishment is trying to decide whether to back Fiorina or Rubio. I continue to support the only conservative with a chance to win, Ted Cruz.
I wish Faux would fire those three amigos. Louserly, at the very least.
Trump is a mile wide in rhetoric, but his depth of policy understanding is almost nonexistent. When the discussion at the last debate turned to specifics about foreign policy, he stood silently. Eventually the shouting and dramatics have to give way to serious debate about the issues that count.
