......Donald Trump is staking his presidency, as he did his election, on nothing less than destroying the credibility of the news media; and the media are determined to do the same to him. This is not just a feud or a fight or a battle. It is scorched-earth warfare in which only one side can achieve victory. To a stunning degree, the press is falling into the president's trap. The country's top news organizations have targeted Trump with an unprecedented barrage of negative stories, with some no longer making much attempt to hide their contempt. Some stories are legitimate, some are not, and others are generated by the president's own falsehoods and exaggerations. But the mainstream media, subconsciously at first, has lurched into the opposition camp and is appealing to an anti-Trump base of viewers and readers, failing to grasp how deeply it is distrusted by a wide swath of the country.

These are not easy words for me to write. I am a lifelong journalist with ink in my veins. And for all my criticism of the media's errors and excesses, I have always believed in the mission of aggressive reporting and holding politicians accountable.

But the past two years have radicalized me. I am increasingly troubled by how many of my colleagues have decided to abandon any semblance of fairness out of a conviction that they must save the country from Trump.......Every president gets pounded by the press. But no president has ever been subjected to the kind of relentless ridicule, caustic commentary and insulting invective that has been heaped on Trump. I have a name for this half-crazed compulsion to furiously attack one man. It's called Trump Trauma.....cont

What I see is exactly what that article describes.

fags in a dickhouse

Poor racist snowflake Joe in PB. You must need a safe space.

As to Trump---he deserves it.

Too bad you can’t think for yourself.

A Fox news analyst is so very unhappy with the way the press treats Trump.

Look the media is nothing like it was, on either side. Newspaper readership has changed and most papers pull national and international stories from the wire. The actual writing is local stuff. Papers like the USA Today have gotten people used to story blurbs rather than full on turn the page stories.

TV news is all about the gotcha. We all now choose which flavor of crap we will digest our tv news in so it goes down just a bit easier. But when National TV news is inviting viewers to give their opinion on Facebooks or Twitter or even a poll, they have abandoned real news for advertising cash. What you losers think of the school shooting in Kentucky isn’t news.

My best friends Dad was a radio news man for KRLD in Dallas. He had a company car and would go out and report on the news as it happened. He didn’t give opinion and or spin or ask for your thoughts unless you were an eye witness. If he had he would have been fired. Today he can’t stand the news and says there isn’t a true unbiased network or newspaper left. He agrees that Trump gets more polarized coverage than did Obama, who got more polarized coverage than Bush, who got more polarized coverage than Clinton and on and on.

Hell look no further than our resident jizz mopped who claims Trump deserves the coverage he gets. No doubt his writing reflects that.

But at the end of the day we have ourselves to blame. If we didn’t watch CNN or Fox News they wouldn’t be in business.

LS &PW are spot on.

Media didn't have sides until Fox came along and made up the trope about a left leaning media.

So people who disagree with you or the Democratic party are racists? You throw that around like confetti on New Years. Weird considering you're one of the few on this board who has referred to another member as a ni99er.

Thanks for proving the articles point.

What will these weak minded pinko pussies do when Trump is re-elected?

You would be wrong. You're supposed to be smart, try not to act so stupid.

The Left, so casually throwing around the word “racist”, are the modern day version of the Southern antebellum plantation owner carelessly calling everyone with whom he dislikes or disagrees with a “mvscal.” Both terms are offensive, but in the presence of those who agree with them, the word slides off the listener like water off a duck’s back.

Yes, we know, racists like you and Joe are emboldened by our racist president.

What a time to be alive.

^^^^
And there you have it: offensive people saying offensive things while not being cognizant of doing so— just like those who so easily let derogatory words towards others spill from their mouths in unconscious mimicry of slave owners. Nicely done, Screwy. You make a good illustration for my post.

On the other hand, being called a racist is much like a black being called a mvscal— meaningless in the volume of noise and appropriation by blacks themselves. By carelessly throwing the word around, you aptly demonstrate you are one yourself.

^^ Agreed.

So wrong, yet so predictable. My side didn’t do anything wrong until the other side started it. You sound like a four year old when caught fighting.

CNN was labeled the Clinton News Network going back as far as the 1991 election which Bill Clinton won. Fox News didn’t arrive until 1996 or 1997.

Yeah, we all believe you set your opinion completely aside when you stop banging on your keyboard here and start banging on it for work.

As if anyone needed more proof, but NBC news just did a live shot from a “ski resort” in N Korea. Holt claimed it was a thriving resort. Never mind all the guests were wearing the same ski outfit.

I guess I was wrong--you really are as stupid IRL are you are on this board.

Of course (you) racists don't think you're racists. Not one person at .net who post about nogs and how bad they are thinks they are a racist. So yes it's water off a racists back, but they (you) are still a racist.

Bush didn't get more polarizing coverage than Clinton. Bush got his dick sucked so hard by the media he started an unnecessary War because (almost) NOBODY did ANY reporting for many years after 911.

So says the guy trying to defend his lack of basic household appliances.

But outing yourself as trolling here, that’s cool.

I have plenty of basic household appliances, even a W/D. I just don't own them.

Try to keep up. Diego was right, you really are Left Behind.

And... there we have it again. As in Screwy’s take, thank you for so willingly demonstrating your own racism and bigotry. Nothing screams to the world that you have a very narrow world view than vomiting out the prejorative “racist” to any thing anybody says.

Peanut butter? Racist!
Dow Jones hit a new record high today. Racist!
I enjoy visiting Denver in the winter. Racist!

American Airlines has a bunch of 777s that I use all the time. I don’t own any of them but I guess I can claim I have a 777 then using your logic.

Well, since he seems out of his mother fucking mind most days anymore and all he can do is hammer out Fuck Trump takes all day long something wasted his brain.

No, I provided a concrete example. If you participate in thread about how fucked up "nogs" are or you support those people that do, then you are a racist. YOU can provide cover for that kind of activity if you want, but just know that it makes you a racist.
