    I'd really urge you to reconsider your support of what Trump is doing here.

    Trump trashes ANY media that is critical of him. Go back & look what leaders like JFK said about that - he said it was tough to read & hear, but was grateful for it. He didn't have Trump's overwhelming insecurities, where anything but praise is "fake."

    There is a legit gripe about bias, but is not nearly as widespread & pervasive as you portray, and it is absolutely nowhere near the depiction Trump puts out there, day in & day out. It's awful to see how his minions celebrate that - it's as anti-American as kneeling or anything else that they are so quick to criticize. It will have damaging effects that will go far beyond Trump's warped time in office.

    I can turn that right around and criticize the media for making EVERYTHING Trump does sound like a new iteration of the German Reich.

    The media has lost it. And their credibility issues aren’t Trump’s fault.

    No, they don't. You guys have exaggerated about the media for years now. There is bias, which is unacceptable, but the vast majority of stories & reporting is excellent, and provided by professionals who work their arse off to be ethical, accurate & thorough in what they do.

    Frankly, it makes me sick to see them trashed so carelessly, to protect one man's ego. Trump is a baby - as thin-skinned as anyone I have ever seen in public life. He's used to being surrounded by people telling him how great he is. Presidents get criticism 24x7, and always have. I knew from day 1 that he wouldn't be able to handle that aspect of the Presidency.

    because all the media has hyped fake news at one time or more against him.
    why give them a pass?

    I love this crap that Trump should just accept fake news and not fight back -
    or just be all cool about Mueller - when Trump hows he hasn't colluded.

    Even 'weasel moves' Comey refused to publically clear him after he told him he wasn't a target of an investigation.

    You guys just want Trump to be your daily pinata. screw that noise- we got things to MAGA

    I actually just want Trump to be a grown-up.

    Every President has gotten slammed, all of the time. And please don't pretend that Obama was immune to that - he wasn't. The media is relentless, as they should be.

    Trump is just too thin-skinned. Most Presidents ignore it and rise above it, and accept that it's part of the gig. Not baby-man. He's much more focused on the press than on MAGA.

    It's actually really pathetic to hear you guys continue to try to excuse every impossibly lame thing Trump does. Trump sides w/ Putin over America? No problem...it's all MAGA! Trump discredits an entire profession because they hurt his poor l'il feelings? Drain the swamp...MAGA!

    One day, you'll start thinking for yourselves again.

    That’s it—Trump refuses to roll over for the media and or his critics.

    As a Republican, I’ve waited decades for that.

    It's actually worse than that
    If it were one of those American hating left wing ANTIFA members, why would anyone care?

    This past week they were parroting the ‘treason’ meme.

    And that was just this week.

    What happens is that you watch a cable OPINION panel on CNN, confuse it w/ news & journalism, and then mindlessly trash an entire profession as a result.

    In October 2016 the NY Times, Washington Post, CNN and others knew about the Steele dossier, but they published nothing about it because they couldn't confirm it.

    Is that how you expect the "fake news media" to act? Seriously?

    Is criticizing the news journalists for their over reliance on anonymous sources ‘un American’?
