Why Hasn't Trump received any real backlash from the MSM on his birther blitz?

I think (part) of the reason, is Trump fights back with words and phrases and in-your-faceness that cowls the interviewers. Something that has been a drag on all the other (Birther) people is their lack of “fight” in their words. Trump “attacks”, others “defend”.

Trump is a big time democrat...all his donations to politicans prove it....
To: I still care
I think there are enough Americans out there, that if it turned out that Obama scammed the system and the Demoncrats protected him, they’d be in deep trouble, with some prominent names going to jail.
And there’d never be a better time to reform the system.

Most businessmen give the most to whomever is in power.
Even if Trump was philophically a Democrat, his integrity might allow him to overcome party loyalty.

The main reason why I’d want her to run for a seat, is not because she necessarily needs legislative experience.
It would give her a public record that she can defend and relate to the American people. I don’t think her record as Alaska’s governor gives her that.
You might as well have made her president of Guam or Puerto Rico.

I read the article. If you think that Trump is going to be spared by the MSM and the WH personal destruction team, you are wrong. They will go after him in an orchestrated effort that will paint Trump as a "birther," and a craven person seeking attention to advance his political career. Already, some of the potential Rep candidates like Pawlenty are ridiculing the birthers and saying that Obama was born in the US. The message from Dems and establishment Reps is to ridicule and diminish such talk saying we have much bigger and more important issues to discuss. Even Mark Levin calls it a distraction.
If Trump starts getting a bump in the polls, the others may have to nuance their responses more. The GOP establishment does not want to touch this issue. They will help the MSM and the Dems to demonize anyone who raises it. Trump is and will be a target.

“This isn’t a man anyone is turning to for his judgment on serious political matters.”
But he’s getting the media coverage that eluded the serious military officers and their attorneys, isn’t he? Paragons of virtue and proper behavior don’t attract audiences. The very fact that Trump has received virtually none of the usual “birther” attacks” speaks to how the media knows better than to cross him. The political types in DC answer to the corporate honchos in NYC or Atlanta. I’m thinking the casino magnate holds a LOT of markers.

I think Palin would be a phenomenal POTUS. She already has the skills, and coupled with her strength of character and guts, she will be great as POTUS! Can't agree more, Danae. In my personal view, Palin towers over the rest of the field. So much so, that it's somewhat amusing to me that there's even a debate about who would be the best choice for our nominee in 2012.
You should get post of the day, if there were such a thing!
Well, thank you. You know, I've often thought about posting a "Post Of The Day" thread, just to have a place where folks could gather the better posts we run into on the forum.

why has Obama spent over a Million dollars trying to keep it a secret. I have seen this allegation made. But is there any PROOF that Obama has spent over a million dollars trying to keep the BC a secret?

Trump has far better access to information I will never have. So if he has new information, I will have to believe him.

If it was not true MSM would have made a big deal about it.
Since they have not, and since I have seen this said by so many respectable people, I tend to believe it.

Anyone notice this subject is going away on the networks?
I have no clue why he is getting a pass.
They are now ignoring The Donald.
Mika B's head almost blew off this morning on Morning Joe. "I have to call the Donald", she said.
