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."

Why not? The press is unAmerican.
General William Sherman hated and bashed the press 150 yrs. ago in the War of Northern Aggression and was quite correct in his assessment of the species and they haven’t changed one bit except to get worse.
“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.”
“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.”
Bashing the media is as American as Apple Pie and there isn’t a bigger bunch of Aholes who deserve it except maybe Congress and the bureaucracy.
No, it is "fake press bashing," and it is super American.
What a sanctimonious, insufferable little snowflake he is.
Is bashing the President unAmerican? Congress? The Court System?
JUST the Press enjoys this immunity from criticism???
Nuthin` new:
From the U.S. State Dept.
“Yellow journalism was a style of newspaper reporting that
emphasized sensationalism over facts. During its heyday
in the late 19th century it was one of many factors that
helped push the United States and Spain into war in Cuba
and the Philippines, leading to the acquisition of overseas
territory by the United States.”

Believing you are superior to others is un-American.
Believing you are somehow royalty, an elite higher class of citizen, etc. is un-American.
Believing your profession is affords a higher level of respect than any other citizen, it un-American.
Failing to understand that the mainstream media hasn’t earned our trust or respect due to a bias and misinformation - demands that rational people do not consider you a legitimate source of news. No public service is being done by these Leftists.
the hting is the press are pissed that republicans are fighting back for once- they want their voice heard and noone else’s voices heard- They are scared to death that the truth will be exposed- and they are pissed that it was the truth that ended hillary’s chance of becoming the first female president-
Donald has let it be known that this is now not just a one sided fight but rather a two sided fight- and it’s long overdue- I liked bush, but he did tremendous damage to hte3 party by refusing to defend it against the constant attacks of the left and the msm- and too many people kept saying ‘we can’t sink to their level’ and so they did nothing to defend the party- Folks, Defending the party is NOT sinking to their level! They LIE- DECEIVE- and INVENT crap in their fight against the right- Our side presents the truth- We aren’t even close to ‘sinking to their level’ when we fight back!
Respect has to be earned & the press has not earned it in some years.
Hahahahahhahahahahha. Chuck’s an idjit. De-legitimizing our president’s election, blaming the Russians for him being elected, which essentially de-legitimizes our vote, writing and promoting lies about Trump- that’s un-American. And by not vetting the last president, you know the one who may have favored Muslims over Christians, the one who we still have NO IDEA what his college transcripts say, and by fawning over him, you de-legitimized yourselves. Take off your OWN partisan hat, Chuck. Start writing the truth for once, then maybe you can get back in our good graces. But for now, we laugh in your general direction.
In a free society, there are no sacred cows.
America is still a free country, right Chuck?
Well it is now commie.

Oh No, are they the elder snow flakes? Likely...
Hey Chuck. So is fake news.
Spreading Fake News is un-American, Chuck.
FAKE NEWS Anchors are unamerican.
Sorry Chuckie no one is listening to you that matters. Trump won with 46 percent of the Vote, his approval rating is 55 percent. Do the math if they teach clowns like you that anymore. Buuwaaahahaha
WINNNNNNNING!
Just self serving crap from this fake news enabler.
Pack journalism and yellow journalism deserve no protections.
