(CNN)If you watched President Trump's astonishing press conference on Thursday, you might be forgiven for concluding that the most urgent problem facing America is that the media "is out of control." Some media "is fantastic," the president allowed. But on the whole, journalism is plagued by "false, horrible, fake reporting." It's clear that America's new President has chosen his new best enemy. Now that the campaign is over and it's not very useful to drive the crowds into a frenzy of hatred against Hillary Clinton, Trump has found the new direction in which to focus his supporters' animosity. But this time, the anointed enemy serves an even more useful purpose.

LOL .. that’s exactly what I thought too.
Poor Frida .. we have hated the media for years. We love Trump because HE AGREES WITH US ..!!!
I think we are going to have to live through their immature tantrum for years.
However, there is an element of evil among the liberals and we would do well to keep a close watch on them all. We probably have no conception of the depth of their vile treachery.
One great approach would be to investigate them all and tie up all their energies defending themselves. We could delve into their lives and publicize all their corruption.
W’s big mistake was that he wouldn’t defend himself and the whole GOP was too ladylike to get themselves dusty helping him.
Trump has shown us we have to fight back. It won’t be pretty. It will be distasteful. But we have to do it for our grandchildren. This is America’s last chance.
Those of you with the means to investigate and shine the spotlight on liberal hypocrisy and wrongdoing, please consider doing so.
GTH, CNN. You sucked ass long before Trump entered the political arena.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Agreed. See my post 82.
There are simply too many to list, but two that come directly to mind are when Time magazine proclaimed that passing gun control was simply too important an issue to report fairly or honestly. The other was when I learned about the NY Times and the reporting of Walter Duranty. He knowingly wrote lies about the war of starvation that Stalin wager on Ukrainians, and not only did the NY Times knowingly publish his lies, but even after the facts came out, the Times did nothing, including disavowing the Pulitzer Prize, after it was revealed that Stalin was more prolific at genocide than Hitler, and was probably only second to Mao as being the most horrific governmental mass-murderer of the 20th century.
"Hate" is really too strong a word, but my antipathy towards the press came about due to a round-table discussion about reporting in a war zone, and if they were aware of an enemy ambush of American troops, would they alert the US troops, and I recall there was one reporter who said he would NOT warn the US troops. There was huge backlash, and within a relatively short time, the reporter reversed himself, that that was the turning point for me.

Well said!
trump is just saying what we have been thinking for a very long time.
Newsflash for CNN idiots:
Trump didn’t start America’s hatred of the MSM. It’s been smoldering for decades.
OH. You mean it’s all Trump’s fault??? SO YOU CNN, can... Call his wife a prostitute, say he wants to have incestuous relations with his daughter, call his son retarded, call him a nazi, call him a racist, call him horrible things, AND call we, his supporters, nazis, racists, bigots, homophobes, transphobes, islamaphobes, xenophobes, misogyanists, etc without us reacting to it??? No CNN. We hate you because you have hated us for 20 years. Trump is in a position to finally call you out for what you are. And we love it. AND... I wasn’t even a Trump supporter in the primaries. But now... I loved watching him kick your filthy lying arses for all the world to see.
Not a problem, it’s easy to hate self important narcissistic liers.
I’m guessing one of 50 shades in between!
I detested the media long before Trump came on stage. They became a subsidiary of the Democratic party decades ago. They have no interested in truth. As Dan Rather said when was caught presenting lies “it was not their duty to verify was they were spew was factual”
He doesn’t hate the media - he hates the liars that comprise the media...
Did he quit or get fired? I know he had Stephanopoulos so frustrated (because he didn’t simply roll over an allow himself to be carved up) that his face began to twist...
Meanwhile, CNN pox has not cursed the Time Warner acquisition by ATT
However, one wonders if the FCC will approve
Miller quit.
Stephen Miller quit? How did I miss that news?
Wow, I’m sorry to hear that.
Ah...we are talking about two different Millers...I think you are referring to Jason Miller, who was a communications person.
Stephen Miller is a young guy serving as a top aide, and is not someone to back down, if his interview with Stephanopoulos is any indication (see this link at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJRRA-4vBdg )
Miller is far from perfect, but it is refreshing to see someone who doesn’t fold his tent in the face of people like Stephanopoulos.
Ooh, good. Cause THAT Miller was Killer :)
