The media will do anything to bash Trump — and now they’re hurting

It was many years ago, but the memory lingers of the first time I was embarrassed to be a journalist. It was a steamy summer afternoon and reporters and photographers were shoe-horned into a small Manhattan apartment for a civic group’s announcement.

As we waited, a photographer wearing a “press” card in his battered fedora picked up a bud vase from a table, pulled out the rose and drank the water in one gulp.

The hostess was horrified and shrieked, “What are you doing?” He looked at her as if she were nuts and said simply, “It’s hot in here and I’m thirsty.”

I laugh now at the outlandishness of the photographer’s behavior, but at the time I cringed and wondered: Do I really want to be a journalist and end up like that?

America should be so lucky now. Bad manners are the least of it.

In the sixth month of Donald Trump’s presidency, we are witnessing an unprecedented meltdown of much of the media. Standards have been tossed overboard in a frenzy to bring down the president.

Trump, like all presidents, deserves coverage that is skeptical and tough, but also fair. That’s not what he’s getting.

What started as bias against him has become a cancer that is consuming the best and brightest. In rough biblical justice, media attempts to destroy the president are boomeranging and leaving their reputations in tatters.....

...the Liberal Mind does not have the capability to understand the concepts of "Cause and Effect" and "Repercussions for Your Actions." They are nothing more than pure Entertainment based, Knee Jerk Reactionary and Emotional Life Forms.

Perhaps no truer words were ever spoken.

That was my first thought...Drudge. It sounds like something Matt would do. :)

Would have been funnier if the bud vase water had also contained a bit of Miracle Grow.

It is very simple, Mr. Goodwin, they were never the best and brightest. That was a pose that is now revealed.

I remember that the dumbest went into journalism (and teaching) because ...
