Stop playing the victim. You're just making things worse.


And if a bunch of left leaning people were chanting FoxNews sucks at Sean Hannity it would be defended by saying "FoxNews is literally hurting our country with lies!"

Maybe it's true of CNN, maybe it's true of FNC. Probably both, but the melodramatics over a CHANT (sticks and stones) is pathetic.

I walked out of the end of that briefing because I am totally saddened by what just happened. Sarah Sanders was repeatedly given a chance to say the press is not the enemy and she wouldn't do it. Shameful.

Jim should ask his bosses why they did so much to promote Trump during the primary. I guess it was A: good for ratings and B: they wanted to ensure Hillary had the weakest opponent possible.

Trump's attacks on the press wouldn't resonate if the press hadn't spent the last 20+ years destroying their own credibility.

I read the whole exchange, and Sanders actually made a couple of fair points.

But attacking the media is generally a weak strategy. But in Trump's case, it works with his typical voter.

If you are white, the press is out for you. No debate left to be had on the matter. They've thrown in their lot.

If the media wants to stop being called the enemy of America, they should stop being the enemy of America.

They arent, imo. They're just bad at their jobs and compromised.

But to clutch pearls as often as Acosta does is not helping.

Attacking the media works because the media has spent the last few decades destroying the public's perception of them.

Also, if you ever want to have fun reading Acosta tweets, put "dear diary" in front of them.

There are good media outlets, but not the major ones. David Duke has a little start-up that I find to be insightful.

Would you care to elaborate on this?

There is plenty of good journalism. Besides, I am smart enough not to be fooled by the big three news networks with their breaking news banners that run 24/7.

If you watch the Today show or something similar they do 7 minutes of "serious" news-usually about bad weather or Trump. The rest of the show is talking about the seasonal hot buy, some scare piece on how household items can injure or kill your kids, and some human interest story about a celebrity.

CNN is all Trump all the time with a daily example of how racist the country is. Today's https://bleacherreport.com/articles/278 ... up-against?

Well our resident newly enlightened scholar says that the media can’t be trusted, but he gets trustworthy news from David Duke. So if the shoe fits, don’t whine about being told to wear it.

Fuck the pompous establishment media. For decades they were high on the hog and if you didn’t agree with them they looked at you like a fool.

Finally they’re exposed for not being any experts than you and me. Fake news finally exposed.
