This is what a full-fledged feeding frenzy looks like.
With Donald Trump facing the roughest stretch of his candidacy, the media have moved from questioning his sanity to depicting a campaign in disarray and top Republicans still wondering whether they can dump the nominee.
That won’t happen, of course, but it’s an indication of the toxic nature of the coverage and the flood of anti-Trump leaks now washing across the media landscape.
There’s a natural piling-on effect when campaigns go off the rails: The polls dip, the critics step up their rhetoric, staffers start pointing fingers, and the press keeps the vicious cycle going.
But I’ve never seen anything like this.
Things reached the point yesterday morning that CNBC’s John Harwood tweeted: “Longtime ally of Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager: 'Manafort not challenging Trump anymore. Mailing it in. Staff suicidal.'"

Only if the media is successful in gaslighting that meme.

It’s media BS, but they are trying to make it self fulfilling.
Not to worry. The polls will be reversed after the debates. He will expose to the sheeple for the first time her crimes. I think he will crush her.
Wikileaks already demonstrated that the DNC and several news agencies are in cohoots. Even since the wikileaks, the DNC continued some of the tactics that it predicted. One of them was false polling, and link Trump to the Russians.
It’s psych warfare
the media lies are unprecedented in history because they know more wiki leaks is coming and she is corrupt horrible and sick..mentally and physically
The polls are all Cooked..They’ve gone All in soviet style
Its not an implosion, but this has been a bad week.
The media and the gop establishment are dusting off the 2008 playbook that they used to destroy Palin, and are now applying it to Trump. The thing is, Trump fights back, whereas Palin was completely subordinate to McCain who sat by and did nothing while his running mate was being savaged.
No.
Trump represents an end to the gravy train for ALL of them.
The media didn’t make Trump & they can’t destroy him. The ‘Rats, DNC & enemedia are in a full out blitz, throwing everything but the kitchen sink at him. All Trump/campaign need to do is keep calm and carry on .... the “normal” people know what the enemedia/’Rats are doing.
Trump responding to all this is counterproductive & gets him off message - he should be looking presidential, having great rallies, & pounding Hilly/Kaine into the dirt every opportunity he gets - there’s plenty of ammunition. Hilly is laying low (her numbers go up when she does that) so he needs to drag her kicking & screaming into the race. While he is doing that, maybe the campaign should set up something like the guy who does the 4 Pinnochio fact-checking column. Call it the Stink Bombs, the Skunks, the Liar Liar Pantsuit on Fire (you get FOUR Flaming Pantsuits for that lie!!) or something else catchy ... have someone in the campaign take all the garbage, “fact check” it (there are no facts, just lies/spin) & debunk .. Trump’s actual words, video, etc. Put it on youtube or something similar (dedicated Twitter account to just this) so people have a place they can go or send others who are maybe getting a little ‘fearful’ from the media crusade against Trump. Just a thought.
Trump has been imploding. He's fighting everyone but Hillary, including people whose support he needs and was going to get. He's picking stupid fights. Trump needs to get his head out of his @$$ soon, start fighting Hillary instead of everyone but and raise money and get on the air.

Media created crap storm instigated by George Stephy. The GOPE are so damned stupid they could be held up through the mail.
I think Trump got caught flat footed by this assault but it was clearly expected. He does need to start counter-punching but punch against the Hag, obama and the media. Trump for now is playing defense, he needs to counter attack and stay on the offensive.
“Trump implosion?”
Sixteen other GOP candidates thought he couldn’t win, was a human train wreck, was “imploding” every step of the way, and some still think he’s wrong, and yet here he is, weeks away from winning the White House, and there they are, losers—some of these human rectums with arms now supporting Clinton after breaking their signed oaths to support the GOP nominee.
All: next time someone says FR is an “echo chamber” point to all the articles posted here like this one.
Are lies by chronic liars “real”?
Agreed. Even those in the MSM are under the illusion that they are THE source for information. The ALT media is where millions go now. It is one of the reasons the Khan crap started to lose gas. The stories exposing him and his connections.
So we’re supposed to be AFRAID of the guy who had nothing to do with the currents zhitty state of the country?!?
That’s like seeing your Fortune500 company going down the toilet and blaming the guy who’s at HR turning in his resume’.
The media is relentless now at making Trump the enemy of this nation...and it’s ALL the Clinton/Obama/Romney/Bush Machinery and other GOPe cohorts determined to retain their footholds in WAshington and the slush funds they all use while they layer their own nests......with the intent to carry this nation into the Global World Order.
If the gloves ever come off...in terms of a popular uprising
A first strike should encompass the silencing of the main media’s ability to broadcast!
