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.

I would call them corrupt and crooked, before I called them nuts, but I’d have no problem calling them all three.
There’s no doubt about it .. today’s LEFT are lunatics.
Technically, that is "astroturfing," making people think there is a larger "grass-roots" support for something that isn't really there.
The MSM inflated polls to make Americans think that Clinton was the favorite so that a bandwagon effect would cause people to side with the apparent winner. They also covered up stories of Clinton hatred in the heartland and faked enthusiasm at her rallies by photoshopping crowds.

It is all too easy to fool the fools.
Driving the media insane would be a short trip indeed. It would be faster to walk.
Because they cannot ever believe that they have been wrong, they must find other reasons to explain why they are being rolled daily...no matter how improbable their rationalizations may become.
The need to start reporting stuff and quit just making it up and trying to attack their targets.
This is fun.

Crazier than they are NOW? Impossible. Back to your Starbucks and designer cool-aid media fools!
Too
Freakin’
Funny!!!
OH! OH! YOU BIG MEANY!!
It’s not taking much, they’ve been going ape$hit since the day after election day.
I appreciate the article, at least they now realize they are crazy.
My advice, take lots of drugs and drink lots of alcohol.
Utopia crumbling before their eyes.
Reality-fatigue.
Driving them insane,are they kidding?For most of them it’s a short walk....
haha. He is actually doing the liberal press a favor by REVEALING to them that they are insane, so they can get treatment.
Other way around - the media is gaslighting most americans especially the low information ones.
Anyone paying attention to the details knows who’s living in an alternate universe. The “Progressives” will repeat the mantra that Trump’s EO is against Muslims without any proof.
I’m not concerned because Dan Rather is on the case.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
