Concerned members of the media claim that President Donald Trump is abusing them psychologically in order to drive them insane, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Pundits say that Trump and his henchman are "gaslighting" them, taking a cue from a Teen Vogue article that CNN's Don Lemon called "hard hitting." The term comes from the 1944 movie Gaslight, where a malevolent husband (Charles Boyer) tricks his wife (Ingrid Bergman) into believing she is nuts.
"[Gaslighting is] a form of psychological abuse where the victim is manipulated to doubt their own sanity," said Lauren Duca, author of the Teen Vogue article.

Living. Rent. Free.
And their point is?
Poor wittle liberals are complaining about “gaslighting?”
Yup - purveyors of fake news deserve their comeuppance.
OMG....the journos really are nuts.
Wait, how can you trick someone into thinking they're insane if they're ACTUALLY insane?
You can’t drive the left insane. They have already arrived at that point.
I believe it is called Trolling and living in your heads rent free, but you are getting what you deserve. You don’t poke a bear to see if it claws are sharp.
Media: You’re already insane, and Trump is just shining light on that fact.
Lol 100% complete projection from the left/authoritarians
No, MSM. You really are insane.
No, he’s not gaslighting them. He is holding up a mirror
Ha! They are playing Checkers, he’s playing Chess! Been going on for almost two years :)
Nope, it just feels that way to those without the awareness to understand what’s really happening. Today’s Scott Adams (Dilbert) blog has the real answer and there’s short FR thread going on about it where the answer is contained: OODA.

You do not need to gaslight the media. They are already nuts like their RAT companions.
NO.... The Media is Gaslighting Trump.
They accuse Trump of everything they are doing.
Everything is INVERTED in their twisted world.
It’s as if these cockroaches view life through a mirror.
Yah think?
It’s working. I already doubt the sanity of all liberals.
I’d rather he Blow-Torched you... but I’ll settle for Gas lighting..
They are not used to have someone fight back
That is what is GASLIGHTING them
