In Case You Didn't Know POTUS Doesn't Like the Press

Why would anyone have any respect for the modern media? They are freaking hacks.

What they cannot spin, they make up lies, instead.

Trump relishes the fight.
Time and time again, he seizes us-versus-them opportunities, casting the media as an opponent that must be defeated.

He says he likes some reporters, but labels others as "dishonest" examples of "fake news."

Wednesday's tweet was apparently provoked by news coverage of Trump's summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.



"So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN," he wrote.


"They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea.


500 days ago they would have 'begged' for this deal -- looked like war would break out.

Our Country's biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!"



New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman translated the tweet this way: "Someone is unhappy with headlines reflecting what happened instead of what he wants to say happened."


MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell asked: "What deal? There is no deal with North Korea."

Not only does he relish the fights, hes already won it

Most recent fake news-Sarah Huckabee Sanders is leaving the whitehouse, she immediately called BS on that.

What they meant to print was the WISH she would leave because just like Trump she spanks the $#@! out of them daily

Do you ever look at the Washington Times or Breitbart or maybe listen to Dennis Prager and Mark Levin?

Occasionally as well as Fox.

rip is an independent too. LOL

You are right sir.

[ripmeister]

so he claims............

All Independent means is you are not a member of a party as I have never been. Its a pretty basic definition.

[ripmeister]

Trump was correct. A biased press that is more interested in pursuing a political agenda than the truth is the greatest enemy of the People and the nation.

We are currently afflicted with that.

I would add that the press is here to keep power in check. They are doing a good job of that as well.

[ripmeister]

But it was negative press.

Sure, a lot of it was and he was masterful in his handling of it. That's a big part of the reason for his election IMO.

The modern media is one of the only businesses I can think of which is openly hostile to their customers. They conduct their business with no respect for their customers. If their customer base criticizes them in any way, the media calls those customers ignorant, stupid and un-American.

How has the media earned any respect from anyone? There are random individuals who have earned various degrees of respect, but as an institution they are untrustworthy and deserve little to no respect.
