he also hit the mainstream press just as hard.

He did not hit the MSM at all. He was in character as a conservative, accusing the media of destroying the country. His premise was that conservatives are paranoid. He -- again, in character as a conservative -- suggested to the media that they should stop with their liberal bias -- his punch line being that reality has a liberal bias. That was all aimed at conservatives, not the media.

What particularly made him unfunny was that his premises were all untrue. For instance that conservatives are paranoid about liberal bias in the media and that MSM reports "reality." How is that punch line funny when it's based on a faulty premise?

Oh lighten up: Stuff like this:

But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works: the president makes decisions. He's the Decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know - fiction!

I don't know I'm a conservative but the stuff is funny. Maybe I can laugh at myself I don't know.
