‘Donald Trump Rants and Raves at the Press’
american spectator ^ | Daniel J Flynn

Posted on 02/17/2017 4:46:16 AM PST by RoosterRedux

“I’m making this presentation directly to the American people,” the president said, before tellingly adding, “with the media present.” Like President Barack Obama obsessing over the economic “headwinds” with which his predecessor burdened him, Trump claimed, “I inherited a mess, at home and abroad.” He noted the stock market’s robust response to his election and industry returning to the Rust Belt.

After this conventional boosterism of his accomplishments and blame for problems on his predecessor, Trump went unconventional. Like a mafia don, the Donald began to take out, by name in some instances, the very outlets that he called to the room for the meeting.

Trump characterized CNN’s coverage of him as “so much anger and hatred.” He recalled CNN passing on debate questions to Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries. The network’s Jim Acosta retorted, “Just for the record, we don’t hate you” — the type of denial that indicts by the necessity of stating it. When a BBC reporter labeled his state-run network “impartial,” he received a presidential “yeah, sure” response. “I know who you are,” Trump informed.

Barry Soetoro chastised and scolded SCOTUS, seated in the front row, during a State of the Union Address.
Barry Soetoro roasted Donald Trump at the Washington Correspondents dinner, telling jokes someone else wrote. They ALL laughed at and ridiculed Trump (spit)

Well, seems the miscreant press corp will spend eight years learning how to be normal human beings

The leftist media will always be with us, to salve the psychological wounds administered to those who have harbored a demonstrably failed ideology.

They won’t change, they serve a market which needs constant affirmation, especially now that they’ve been exposed as wrong.

It’s about psychological equilibrium. Drug administered by MSM.

I was at work yesterday however I heard the entire thing on the radio. I cheered.

High time the lying liberal lamestream media was called on the carpet and treated with the contempt and disdain they so richly deserve.

Well done President Trump.

I think these types of press conferences would be more effective if instead of just saying the press is biased and fake, give concrete examples that would be difficult to refute. It would also help if he wouldn’t make incorrect statements that reduces his credibility such as the “biggest margin of victory since Reagan”.

What a backward headline. The press still fails to get it. Donald Trump speaks to the American People not to a cadre of pompous, lying, prigs who represent the worst of the Democrats. Their ability to filter and twist is walking dead like the Clintoon Money Laundry.

Trump raves at the press?

Translation: Trump told the truth about the press. Reminds me of a quote by Truman — “ I just tell the truth about them and they think it’s Hell.”

Trump, a man with many faults, possesses a positive quality that his opponents lack: honesty. He can’t pretend to like someone he dislikes the way the media feigns objectivity in covering the people they see as boogiemen. To do otherwise, journalists would show themselves as something other than journalists — Crusaders? — which immediately results in a loss of audience. So, rather than admit they despise a figure, they continue a charade of objectivity. Objective people see through this.

This is a GREAT ARTICLE, and if any Freeper reads the whole piece, they will cheer it.
