If you count back to Reagan, we’re approaching 3 decades of the media having it their way with White House reporting. No wonder they think they can run roughshod over POTUS.
Now they learn that people will call them out on their traitorous ways on social media, otherwise nothing would have changed.
I’d say the current oppositional press began by taking down the Goldwater campaign. Nixon self destructed and you couldn’t attack a legitimate hero like Ike other than that he played too much golf. Since then the media has been partisan and unreliable. The truth was only reported when it benefited the progressive.
I goes back to Nixon, whome the media brought down. That is when everything changed, including the curricula of elite Journalism Schools and the motivations of journalism students -- they then wanted to be like Woodward and Bernstein.
