It’s often said that the definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results. In the case of President Donald Trump and the media, there really are two sides to this coin.
Whenever Trump uses provocative and at times deliberately offensive terminology ― maybe it’s “shithole” or “rapists” or more recently “animals” ― an all too familiar cycle plays out like a rerun of a bad reality-TV show.
First, you must remember that Trump is the emotional equivalent of a 5-year-old. Like a child, his actions are driven by positive reinforcement. When Trump talks tough on immigration, his base loves it. After all, Trump spent a year on the campaign trail basking in chants of “build the wall.” It was no accident that Trump selected parents of MS-13 gang victims to be his guests during this year’s State of the Union address. The standout moment won Trump effusive praise and headlines from the Fox News and Breitbart world, reinforcing his view that the address was a success. To Trump, this is a winning issue that he will return to over and over again.
But politically, he is also banking on the idea that the media will react strongly to any such comments. These condemnations then allow Trump and his allies to reinforce their narrative that the mainstream media has it out for him and that the political left would rather protect drug-dealing Mexican gang members than innocent American families. This is the script that unfolded this week.....

Only the media could destroy itself... collective suicide... a race to be first, makes them all last... only the moronic believe what they say, and the moronic masses do not spend money with the sponsors... except apple products
Someone smarter then they are-that is impossible!!!!
First, you must remember that Kurt Bardella, like any other Democrat Media "news activist", hasn't got the brains God give gophers...
F the media—the more stupidity and garbage they spew—the more the average Joe turns them off. I have nothing but contempt and distain for the clowns.
yeah.....cause its only a narrative that the MSM is out to get him. No connection to reality there. He clearly imagined the whole thing. Anybody can see that they’ve been paragons of objectivity and professionalism......
Mr. Bardella, should I take notes from my 5-year old grandson on the finer points of throwing tantrums?
It is like a liberal is pre-programmed to insult anyone he/she talks to.
The MSM doesn't get it and hopefully they won't until after 2020.
Other people have tried to warn the media and Democrats to stop their attacks but few are listening.
Attacks on Trump only make him stronger and more popular.
Their old tried and true method for taking out their opposition has been overplayed and will now backfire.
8 Dec 2017: San Diego Union Tribune: Once a staunch Republican and rising star, Kurt Bardella becomes a Democrat
By Joshua Stewart
The party, he wrote, has been commandeered by leaders who have not only lost touch with meat-and-potato issues but “pander to a lunatic fringe that subscribes to an ideology of hate and fear.”...
Bardella became an outspoken critic of Trump, including the president’s response to the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., and the Republican-controlled Congress’s reaction to the mass shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas — an event Bardella had planned to attend until the last minute.
The Roy Moore scandal was the last straw, he said.
“At some point you’ve just got to take a stand,” Bardella said.

He's given them the best ratings they've ever had.
The more epic their Trump hysteria, the more they can get fearful idiots to tune in, the higher ratings they get, the more money they make.
Their outrage is Oscar worthy.
Hahaha, he’s a 5 year old genius!
The Fake News Media is too stupid and arrogant to learn from their mistakes. Their hysterical antics are very entertaining. I hope they keep blowing themselves up over and over again.
Trump will be re-elected because his policies and actions are good for America, and a majority of Americans see this. Additionally, a majority of Americans despise the arrogant liars in the Fake News Media.
There was no use of the word "animals" to refer to anyone besides the MS-13 members, and the medias' statements to the contrary were bold faced lies.
My nephew lived on Long Island, and went to school with the 2 girls who were brutally murdered my MS-13 members. Luckily, my sister, who lives in Hoboken, NJ, is doing well enough to have my nephew come and live with her, and enrolled him in a private school, for which she's footing the bill. He was being threatened on a daily basis.
Actually, in one way I disagree with President Trump. Calling MS-13 members "animals" is an insult to animals. They're evil. The closest parralel is to a rabid animal, the difference being that a rabid animal can't help itself. MS-13 members knowingly perform evil acts, and appear to enjoy them. The way you have to deal with rabid animals is to put them down.

As is the case with many uber-liberals, they too often equate their education with a broad understanding of the human psyche, when, in fact, they cannot begun to imagine the lives of those outside their bubble world.
Leftards never deal in truth. It's always a "narrative". When something is demonstrably true it's no longer a "narrative".
That guy was at Breitbart then as the years went on he switched sides. He was never Trump by the time he quit.

Our media are the emotional age of two then, because they are not even half as smart as Trump. Just the free pass for MS-13 proves that.
The truth is that they do not want to acknowledge that they do get it. They do not want to acknowledge that We The People do not want to submit to world view. We do not want to be forced into their global communist plan for our lives.
They will not accept our resistance.
As we see yet again. We have a writer for the far-left’s Huffington Post crying about President Trump winning re-election. True, but still, it is over 2 years away so we must be vigilant.
That this writer Mr. Kurt Bandella, is just another leftist that rants and raves about Pres. Trump, is stupid enough. But he is correct, in that the MSM is screwing itself and their leftist political cronies with their continued lies and deceit about the President.
While he rants that Pres. Trump acts like an emotional 5 -year old. The truth is that the writer, the MSM and the Leftist politicians are acting as spoiled 2-year olds. Having tantrums because they can’t get their way and destroy President Trump.
About the only thing we can do about this, is to stay vigilant. Side with President Trump and insure that the MSM and the leftist politicians are taken to task each and every time they try to lie and deceive the American People.
The author, in delivering his big insight, shows that he is guilty of his own charge. Trump is a 5 yr old. Immature. Only reacting to the cheers his nasty drivel produces. Underestimate much, douchbag?
This begs so many questions.
One of which is, how did a 5 year old defeat the smartest woman in the world to be elected president?
How did a 5 year old, defeat the best qualified person ever to have run for president?
How did the adults lose an election to a 5 year old? If for sake of argument, we say that the Democrats are the adults in the room, and Trump is a 5 year old having temper tantrums, how could they have lost an election to a child, if they are so smart, if they are the adults in the room?
