I swear you right wingers don't understand what the press is supposed to do. You cry about the negative coverage Trump gets, but the man gets the coverage he deserves. Don't want coverage of your crazy tweets? Put the damn phone down! Don't want people to think you fired Comey because of the Russia investigation? Don't do an interview with Lester Holt and say you fired Comey because of the Russia investigation! I know I'm just a southern left leaning white dude, but this ish seems pretty simple to me. Trump brings it all on himself. If the press did not cover that, they would not be doing their jobs.

Really, previous presidents don't have anything to do with this conversation. It's all about Trump. Sure, all presidents bash the media at some point. Trump takes it to a whole 'nother level when he calls them "the enemy of the people." No, these are regular Americans doing their jobs, Mr. President.

He doesn't seem to know ish about what California is going through and what they need to fight the fires out there. That's one example of Trunp knowing what is going on. I guess the media is biased to do news stories about that though.

While it's true that all presidents have SOME issues with the press - it's also true that Crooked Presidents have an absolutely AWFUL relationship with the press.

It is reported unbiased. Where are your specific factual examples that it’s not?

Your original question never asked me to provide examples, so why are you so demanding to know why I didnt provide examples of biased reporting when i didnt say anything about it?

"Assault" doesn't come near enough to what's needed or deserved.

BURN IT TO GROUND AND SALT THE EARTH UPON WHICH IT STOOD.
