Trump announces boycott; Fox News doubles down on insults

“Trump is a blowhard bully who will never be president.”

No, he’s defending himself against unfair coverage. It’s understandable that you would be confused on that point, since no one else has ever stood up to the press before like this. It shows how screwed up the rules of the game have been for so long, that someone standing up to the media bully is now being called the bully.

“Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.... Mark Twain.”

Mark Twain was a great writer, and that was a clever saying, but these are different times. No single media outlet has a monopoly on information anymore.

It’s funny how you use that quote by Mark Twain and then accuse Trump of being the bully. If you accept Mark Twain’s quote then a better characterization of what’s happening would be David (Trump)taking on Goliath (the press, who you should never pick a fight with because they buy ink by the barrel).

“Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.... Mark Twain”

A very poorly thought out quote that I have never subscribed to. Such mentality defaults the media as omnipotent, and it has gone to their heads.

Twain lived in a very different world than we do today.

I’m surprised that no one has replied to you yet. One reason why might be that most FReepers have difficulty reading more than one paragraph. That’s why they rarely click to the Source. It is much easier to reply to a single sentence than attempt to comprehend multiple paragraphs.

Anyway, I wanted to congratulate you on a fine dissemination of recent political history.

To be clear, that's the work of our friend sundance over at The Last Refuge/Conservative Treehouse.

He/she's been doing yeoman's work investigating aspects of popular stories that the MSM don't mention.

Allow me to made a small addition:

It’s all part of their GOPe Roadmap.
