Trump trashes media as ‘fake, fake disgusting news’ at rally
Associated Press ^ | Aug. 02, 2018 6:17 PM EDT | Jonathan Lemire and Jill Colvin

Thundering that the media is the “fake, fake disgusting news,” President Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of grievances Thursday at a Pennsylvania campaign rally in which he cast journalists as his true political opponent.

Trump barnstormed in a state that he swiped from the Democrats in 2016 and that is home to a Senate seat he is trying to place in the Republicans’ column this fall. But the race between GOP U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta and two-term incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey took a back seat to Trump’s invectives against the media, which came amid a backdrop of antagonism to journalists from the White House and hostility from the thousands packed into a loud, overheated Wilkes-Barre arena.

“Whatever happened to the free press? Whatever happened to honest reporting?” Trump asked, pointing to the media in the back of the hall. “They don’t report it. They only make up stories.” […]

“As far as I know, I’m the first press secretary in the history of the United States that’s required Secret Service protection,” she [Sarah Huckabee Sanders] said, accusing the media of continuing “to ratchet up the verbal assault against the president and everyone in this administration.”

I can’t remember when the media was this full of hate.

They always have been, they’ve just stopped hiding it.

They didn’t have to be so full of hate when no one was fighting back. Now that the American people have had enough (and have elected a President who champions them), the Press now knows what it’s like to shamed over and over and over and....

99.9 percent of them vote Democrat. They were sure after 8 years of Obama, that we were ready for full blown Communism..they were wrong and they can’t stand it, they can’t stand the fact that in just a short period of time President Trump has DESTROYED Obama’s legacy, literally ripped it to shreds..their beloved Obama, his legacy is gone and its eating them alive

No thanks, unlike you I actually watched the rally live. Guess somebody else is going to have to do it for you.

Yes, I do. You apparently do not and can’t be bothered to find it for yourself like any normal able-bodied conservative would do, instead you’ve chosen to nag and whine like some dysfunctional Democrat female. Go. Do. It. Yourself. It’s not difficult, promise.

Also, Trump did not hand out as many jobs to the “in crowd,” “swamp people,” who wait for a job by being a nice “go along” Republican.

Give a layabout a link, he has a link for a day. Make a layabout do it himself, he has links for a lifetime.

You’re welcome.

Someone with photo shop talent, please put Jim Acosta's head in place of Don Ameche's.

CNN and MSNBC are like creepy stalkers. They have a obesession with trashing Trump all day long. Because their candidate Crooked Hillary lost and they hate Trump they’ve become a pathetic bunch of sore losers.

Starts at 1:30. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt

Yep - Acosta had his feelings hurt by hecklers and then was shown for an idiot ass-hat instead of a sly mind when he tried to trap Sarah during a presser...Loser with a capital “L”...
