President Trump found something to briefly celebrate Monday, some bad news for what are emerging as his biggest detractors during the virus crisis: the media.
“Advertising in the Failing New York Times is WAY down. Washington Post is not much better,” he tweeted. “I can’t say whether this is because they are Fake News sources of information, to a level that few can understand, or the Virus is just plain beating them up. Fake News is bad for America!”
Whatever the merits of Trump’s dissatisfaction with the two papers, it’s clear that advertising has plunged because some companies are shut down while others are slashing spending while most of their customers are stranded at home.

President Roosevelt, you claim a major at Midway yet numerous squadrons were lost, an American carrier is at the bottom of the ocean and the Japanese are still occupying all of their previous conquests.. Is your war plan a failure?
I have not been able to stomach Howard Kurtz for some years now.
The media started the war.
They are losing the war.
I think they are doubling down.
All they really need to do is stop with the Fake News. But they can’t. It’s all they have. They don’t know how to “journalism” anymore.
NYT and WP are not in it for profit. Profit would be nice, but the left’s agenda comes first. If they have to take losses in this effort to damage President Trump, they’re all in.
Filthy bastards have gone so low as to spend their time and resources to find out if Trump has investments in companies that produce the drug they say he “touted” or “peddled.” They rot. I hope these media slobs one day desperately need Trump’s drug, and they don’t get it.
They analyze and rip to shreds every word he says. They deliberately and intentionally report his wishes as his intentions, and then they trash him for not being clear. I would not be as cool as he is.
They are disgusting.
We no longer expect fair and balanced reporting in this country, but it would be nice if their reporting rose to the level of competent every now and then.
I think Trump should use the DPA to require the Hew York Times to convert their printing presses and their paper product to produce toilet paper. Not much of a stretch for them to retool
and produce this necessity since only one level on the food chain currently separates their product from toilet paper
The EPA needs to propagate strong regulations on the disposal of used newsprint. Heavy users should be required to pay into a fund to recover and to recycle the spent product, based on the tonnage deployed by each using company. Relief could be sought by the users by purchasing ALL electricity from 100% certified “green” generators. No offsets, no substitutes, just 100% NON-fossil, NON-nuclear generated electricity.
The only thing more deranged than the media is its (remaining) “customers.” The believe-anything leftists who pay attention to WAPO, NYT, CNN, etc. will not tolerate any reports that don’t attack Trump. It is their red meat, and the media fear their “customers” more than Trump smashing them back.

Tough investigative journalism by the same people who can’t trace Hunter Biden’s fortune, find his estimated income in child support proceedings, or find Obama’s college records.
Believe me, they will take it greedily. They know it works, everyone knows it works. That giant UPenn study that just started isn't studying IF it works, it's studying HOW WELL it works. The presstitutes will take it to save themselves in a heartbeat. They just don't want US to get it, they need bodies and mass graves to sell their Trump Lied and People Died narrative.
Yes, the DPA could be used to force the NYT to actually produce something that the American public really needs. The downside would be they would have to find something else for their dogs to poop on....
Add Chris Wallace to the fake News Best Hits List.
Honestly, they can say all they want about acting “Presidential”, but the President calling out the corrupt media has just about sunk what remaining credibility they had. 3 out of the 10 reports yesterday OUTRIGHT LIED when the President asked THEM a question. Imagine how many lies are in their so called news reports.
