He was at it again.
At 3:14 a.m. on Friday, President Trump was awake and tweeting.
“Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing,” he wrote, “yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, ‘it’s just not Presidential!’”
He tapped that one out as federal authorities were investigating the 12 pipe bombs mailed to the billionaire George Soros, Democratic politicians, Robert De Niro and CNN. Hours later, Mr. Trump’s tweet was national news.
“President Blames Media For Attempted Bombs,” read the onscreen chyron on “Good Morning America” as an ABC News correspondent, Jonathan Karl, briefed the anchor George Stephanopoulos on the president’s latest digital sortie from the still-dark White House lawn.
So began Day 645 of a presidency that has made denigrating the news media one of its identifying features.
After mocking and insulting penned-in reporters on the campaign trail, Mr. Trump continued going after journalists the day after he was sworn in, over the size of his Inauguration Day crowd. Then came the “fake news,” “enemy of the people” negative branding campaign against those who would hold him to account.
Shortly before federal authorities arrested Cesar Sayoc Jr. — a registered Republican with a criminal record whose social media accounts were filled with right-wing conspiracy memes — the president was back on Twitter....

I have lots of love and respect for President Trump. But I think he made a mistake in calling the packages ‘bombs.’ The press turn around and used his words in the headline, ‘President Blames Media For Attempted Bombs.’
Wonder what the headline would have said if President Trump had identified the ‘bombs’ as ‘suspicious packages?’
It’s about time. The bullies in the propaganda, lying-ass “media” need a good kick in the ass. They’ve been getting away with their bull**** for years.
*ROFLMAO*
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not forget that in July 2016 Jim Rutenberg posted an urgent appeal fellow “journalists” to ARE YOU READY FOR THIS.... put aside their integrity to attack Trump because stopping Trump was so important!
This pos actually thought anyone believed the media had any integrity.
Gonna’ take one hell of a lot of vote fraud to defeat the Republicans this year.....one hell of a lot.
So began Day 645 of a presidency that has made telling the truth about propagandists posing as journalists one of its identifying features.
Fortunately, the more he exposes them, the more hysterically partisan and obviously manipulative they get. He’s needling them in just the right ways to get them to voluntarily toss aside even the façade of journalistic ethics or any sort of professional integrity or pretense of neutrality. The “press” (LOL) like to pretend Trump is getting people not to believe them and resent them, when it is really their own actions that has done that.
What the president has done is all very beautiful, because the professional propagandists were damaging this country badly long before Trump came along, but he was the one with the guts to call them out on it.
Maybe not. They live in an echo chamber filled with lies. To them, we are unknown unknowns.
Spot on and Nixon only did one Obama did to many to count like Hillary most of the media has gone mad and will never return to truth.
Yeah me too.
Yeah, but everyone has their occasional down day. Also, being President is probably a pretty stressful job. Look at all the pics of ex-presidents both before they began the job and after. More specifically, look at all the gray hairs.
He uses their tactics against them and he’s better at it....tireless attacks will even out but he has the element of Truth to his which puts him ahead...
