Just how intense is the infamous feud between President Trump and the mainstream media? Earlier today, the White House made headlines when they barred CNN, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Politico, Buzzfeed, and other news outlets from a briefing with Press Secretary, Sean Spicer. However, Breitbart and The Washington Times were permitted to attend. These recent events may be shocking to some Americans; one could even argue as to whether or not this course of action was appropriate.

Does everyone remember how the “Media” went in to a Tizzy over Obama calling out FOX News and Talk Radio
Long overdue.
The Establishment media has to be reminded that they are *not* the people who decide the course of the nation and the world.
At least, not anymore. They held that illegitimate power for far, far too long.
So what makes the New York Times so special? Why should they be included when there are 300 other outlets that are not?
Hey Gabby, the FAKE NEWS groups were not banned. They weren’t invited!!! That’s the fun part, they weren’t invited.
So, neither President Trump, nor his 60+ million voters need nor do we want ABCNNBCBS, Faux, the Ny/LA Slime, WSJ, Compost, and LaRaza Times trying to tell us what our president is telling us. We know without their twisting and word games.
We dont need the old gotcha press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trumps comments and statements are for his voters. We dont need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us. There is zero filtering, adjusting and lying to us when Trump talks to us directly!
Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.
Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle it as the article title, Trumps Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.
Years after the deaths of FDR and JFK, I discovered that the print media had not told their readers some things about the two presidents. They did not report these things because the media believed that they knew best what Americans needed to hear and learn. The MSM believed that it was the media’s job to tell people what to think, what they should see, what they needed to like and what to hate. After all, they believed, the Constitution gave them that right to control the people’s thinking, to use propaganda necessary to get what they wanted because they knew what was best. Many years ago, the MSM use to be subtle in their propaganda, but as talk radio came around, then FNC, then the dreaded Internet, the truth about the media was exposed. It became apparently how they had fooled the people.
The way I see it the media should report the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Media reporting is so bad that it is time for the media to self investigate itself, self regulate itself and self report itself. Kind of like the medical profession does. If the medical profession let doctors get by with poor medical care, the people would lose faith in the medical care system just like the people in America have lost faith in the MSM.
But it is too far gone for the MSM to report the truth. Because if the do, they will lose big time. And the media has so much to lose. The media will be so embarrassed, so humiliated, do degraded - not to mention those in today’s MSM will never ever work again. That is why they have to fight so very hard. Unfortunately they are hurting America. That is why we say that the MSM are against America and Americans.
Ha! I initially mis read the title as maelstrom media. But that pretty much is it isn’t it?
Maybe the drive by media (that’s so clever) should report REAL NEWS like the Bowling Green massacre and the implementation of Sharia law in Michigan and the fact that Obama was not born in the US.
I remember.
