Chuck Todd and the other journalists at NBC are openly fuming that Donald Trump continues to call out the biased coverage of his administration. During Thursday’s press conference, an angry Todd tweeted, “This not a laughing matter. I'm sorry, delegitimizing the press is un-American.”
He later whined, “Press bashing may feel good to folks but when it's done by people in power, it's corrosive. Take off your partisan hats for a second.” During live coverage, Lester Holt chided, “It was contentious. It was ugly at moments and we haven't seen anything like it.”

They’re saying exactly what he said they’d say. Todd says to take off your partisan hats? They are truly stupid.

The press was in the Bible too. Only then, they called them false prophets and did all kinds of things to them.

Take off your partisan hats for a second. Have you done that even once in your entire miserable career? You think striving for objectivity is for chumps, and lying and spinning to advance leftist causes is moral.

Changing his wording to fit the narative more correctly:
Press President Trump bashing may feel good to folks leftists but when it's done by people liberal media in power it's corrosive to the 55% percent of citizens who heartily approve of President Trump.

“It was ugly at moments and we haven’t seen anything like it.”
Right, abusing the Supreme Court or the other (Republican Party Congress) on TV can’t even compare.

Rumor has it that at the end of the press conference Kelly Ann Conway was handing out free tubes of "Butt Hurt Salve."

Lester Holt chided, “It was contentious. It was ugly at moments and we haven't seen anything like it.”Says the guy who was widely panned for incredible anti-Trump bias during the debate he moderated.
But he has a point. We never saw it during Obama or Clinton's administrations because the press never asked them tough questions. And we never saw it during either Bush's administrations because Bush's don't think it's proper to respond to criticism so they just took it and took it and took it. Both cases were win-win for the press. This, this is something new. And yet these whiners all hyperventilating about Trump being a big meanie say HE has a thin skin and should have twitter taken away! Hah!

“This not a laughing matter. I'm sorry, delegitimizing the press is un-American.” However, making stuff up to deligitimize an elected President is totally American, like apple pie and baseball.

The press delegitimized themselves.
