“They play a mediating role in our democracy, where we hold government leaders accountable.”
Complete effing lie.
What media needs to do is figure out how to sit down and shut up before enough folks get thoroughly fed up and begin resenting that the lying scum must be suffered to live.
I’m not advocating, calling for or even hoping for, but anyone with even a sliver of situational awareness can feel a serious sea change taking place.
The guy is an idiot. Thomas Jefferson was treated the same way? Really? he was there, I suppose.Do you think Hillary would be treated the same way? Trump is absolutely right about the press. Hell, they would not even pan a huge crowds when he asked them to. And we know from WikiLeaks of a dozen documented instances of collusion between the press and the DNC or the Hillary campaign. Pravda has no leg to stand on; this guy’s attempt at self-righteousness makes me puke.
...useless P’sOS......*smiles*
The first is to be fair...fair & CNN = oxymoron.
I would be delighted if the "journalists" of the mainstream media apply these standards to Trump, providing, however, that they are equally applied to every other politician. How refreshing it would be for the mainstream media interlocutors to actually explore the data, the facts, the reality of public policy?
I have every, that Donald Trump can handle himself under these interrogations and I am equally sure that leftist politicians would be rudely exposed.
What a douche. Oh, he’s a member of the CFR. Hey Frank, FU.
Not doing so well on this front. Adversary, yes, at long last after eight long years of sycophancy. But respectful? Don't make me laugh. They're out of their minds with vitriol.
As opposed to covering any Democrat: Fawn, Fawn, Fawn, Fawn.
The bottom line: The media has been trumped and they don’t have a clue what to do. Trump will attack their twisted propaganda at every turn and they know that Trump’s huge audience will take Trump’s word over the media. Their credibility is next to zero and just like liberals everywhere they will only double down and destroy what little viewer or readership they still enjoy.
Mhm. They could have done this during the election campaign, but chose not to. Why would I believe that they would start now?
For journalists to be accepted as fair and neutral reporters of events, they are going to have to demonstrate that they have the capability to do so. Otherwise, they are partisan shills, regardless of their occasional claims of objectivity and momentary and rare bouts of introspection.
This crap is written for two sets of people:
1) Those inside this jerks own bubble.
2) The useful idiots that will never question what they say.
Wow
NOW they want to be a respectable press and do the job completely and fully. NOW?
What about with 0bama for the last 9 years?
What about with Hellery?
These people really ARE this stupid.
No, they will not ever be what they once were. Never. People get information from too many sources to depend on big media. Big media is the same size as a basement blogger - with the same degree of credibility.
I enjoy seeing big media fail. It’s like a 5 year election night!
So much winning....
Do hugh reporting also ....
Among the most dangerous sounds to come out of Trump's mouth has been his disrespect, not just for individual journalists, but for journalism itself. Turning reporters from adversaries into enemies, inciting the crowd to the point that some reporters needed personal security protection during the campaign is the kind of horrific thing we expect to see in Venezuela or Russia or Cuba.
In 1991, I had to get my news about Whitewater and Bill Clinton's behavior with respect to women from foreign shortwave radio broadcasts because the mainstream media would not cover these topics. Now we have the internet. The press simply can never be trusted to cover the liberal candidates or policies and performance of liberal politicians.
When it's a Republican, the Press is an agent of the Prosecution;
When it's a Democrat, the Press is an agent of the Defense.
Dear reporterass, please give us an example of the fair, relentless questions the new you would be asking Hillary Clinton if you could go back in time? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
It is satire; it should read: “4 things media must do when Trump is covering THEM”...
Still again, cementing the reasons Trump won in the first place.
I’ve seen mental illness before but these guys claim to be educated people...??
