Jimmy Carter, the liberal 93-year-old former president, surprisingly sided with President Trump when he told The New York Times that the media have been been too hostile on the current commander-in-chief.
“I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about,” Carter told The New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. The 39th president served one term from 1977 to 1981.
Carter added that he thought the media “feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.”
The former president also pushed back on accusations of Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential election, saying: “I don’t think there’s any evidence that what the Russians did changed enough votes, or any votes.” He said his wife, Rosalynn, disagreed with him, before he added, “We voted for [Bernie] Sanders” in the primary.

Except that it is no longer ‘media’, it is just a ‘Hate Mob’.
Jimmy speak truth. Mark your calendars.
WE truly entered the twilight zone.
He just wants President Trump to let him meddle with North Korea.
LOL! I don't know what's going to be the greater insult to his fellow Democrats? Believing Trump isn't getting a fair shake in the media or admitting he voted for Sanders?
Yes we have. Jimmy got one right.
How long have I been asleep?
BTT
Scary huh? Halloween is approaching.
Dang right it is scary. If Jimmy Carter said something about American politics and I agree for even one second, that Twilight Zone music (per above) starts playing.
Talk about something coming out of nowhere.
Perhaps that would help while he keeps supporting the gay-marriage, abortion-industry, Fake-News-lying, race-baiting Democrats.
Seriously, Jimmy - time for a 180-degree turn. Tell the truth about the whole organization.
Oh, and stop hating the Joooooos in Israel, while you’re at it.
Yeah, that’s a tall order.
Carter is just trying to get on President Trumps good side so that Trump will invite Carter to ‘help’ with North Korea.
Last time Carter got involved was during Clinton, and resulted in North Korea having nuclear weapons.
Look back in American History, How did the media treat Abe Lincoln?
We might like Carter, but he does speak the truth. In my memory, no other president has been treated as unfairly. Considering how many people are lying and uttering outrageous attacks on Trump, we should give him credit for at least admitting the obvious.
The TV media was cruel to Abe, but the internet gave him wide berth.
Krazy Kim decides he has had enough of the old fool and wants to send him home.
Trump says "not unless you give up your nukes."
Krazy Kim thinks about it a few days and says "Deal!"
“Media” used to mean the sources of news and information and editorials.
Now, they’re sources for hired hitmen and hitwomen.
