NBC News anchor Chuck Todd said "press bashing" is not a fit activity for a president, just moments after President Trump laid into several reporters at the White House in his first solo press conference as president.

Trump assailed the "dishonest" media for doing "a tremendous disservice to the American people."

After, Todd warned that "this is not a laughing matter."

He added, "I'm sorry, delegitimizing the press is un-American."

You’re right, Chuck. I don’t want to “bash” the “press.”

I want to destroy the “press.” And you along with it.

I view you and your partners in crime as the greatest threat to my freedom, to my prosperity, and to my security.

How about not reporting the facts, instead they just lie all the time.
You the media have done this to yourselves.

In my best Amos Kairouz voice: “WHAT is a Chuck Todd?”

That first amendment thingie does not protect attacks on the President.

Just about the time when I think Rats (especially Chuck U.) can’t get any more stupid - Chuck U. goes and proves me wrong.

There is nothing more dangerous to our Freedom of the Press than our current media. I have far greater respect for what Pravda was back in the day than I do for the media whores we have now.

At least Pravda was honest with their agendas.

Hey Chuck (two first names) Todd, why don’t you look in the mirror occasionally.

[Obadiah]

Press bias resulting in disinformation and propaganda is what's UnAmerican.

[needmorePaine]

Members of the press have extremely thin skins. They get their backs up at any criticism because they believe themselves to be members of an untouchable class. The First Amendment protects freedom of the press, but that doesn’t mean it protects individual reporters and/or specific news outlets from criticism.

He Chuck, want see a real anti American rectum/rectums?

Take a good look at mirror.

Then, take a good look at all of your anti America peers/liars at NBC lying 24/7 like you.

[Fresh Wind]

The press acting as a propaganda agent for the Democrat political party is un-American.

[SaxxonWoods]

Bashing improper behavior by the press is as American as apple pie.

A press that pushes a ideological political agenda is un-American.

Play it down the middle and all will be well.

Until then, expect more berating, which you richly deserve.

Au Contraire, mon ami! It it the MOST AMERICAN SPORT there is!....................

Funny, President Lincoln didn’t think so

[falcon99]

Todd, your own actions are what has and is delegitimizing the “press”. All President Trump is doing is shinning a light on your dishonesty and bias, and like cockroaches, you can’t stand the light.

Chuck is talking about the numerous times The Kenyan bashed FOX News?

[HarleyLady27]

After, Todd warned that “this is not a laughing matter.”

NO, but YOU are...ROFLMAO!!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

What would little Chucky Todd know about being an American?

[Grampa Dave]

Hey Chuckie/the tearful one, this is just for you!

Yo Chuckie, we don’t need the “old gotcha” press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trump’s comments and statements are for his voters. We don’t need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us.

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle it as the article title, “Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.”

Enjoy your trauma, Chuckie! We are enjoying it.

delegitimizing the press ...

The press has done that to themselves, over and over and over again.
