“Any guy that can do a body slam, he’s my kind of — he’s my guy,” Trump said about Rep. Greg Gianforte assaulting a reporter.

Trump regularly encourages violence against reporters, calling the media "enemies of the people," and encourages violence against protestors.

I haven't for some time....their only purpose today is to make up lies and Fake News to support their narratives...they serve no good purpose in my view since they are averse to the truth.

I sincerely doubt that Trump reads much of anything, some really solid investigative reporting by all the major media and some independents.

They are owned and controlled. No, I don't trust one thing the liberal media says nor do I trust their puppet masters.
Hollywood, so called "news" media push an agenda and use false narrative and leftist agenda to create a mindset in the viewer. They know what they are doing.

Evil people will find a way to carry out their evil deeds.

Reporting the truth scares some of you to death, doesn't it ? I know you all would love to only hear glowing reports about how wonderfully your "President" is doing, a lot like the news is presented in Dictator run countries, but that isn't America quite yet.

But there is a solution. There is this little up and down button on your TV remote, and if you don't want to watch or hear something...………………….

You do have a remote, don't you?

"Does anyone TRUST the liberal media any more ?"

I haven't for over 50 years.

I have 3 incidence in my early life that showed me how biased and untrustworthy the meda is.

From those days on I have been suspectful of them and have have been proven correct more times then not.

There is an ON and OFF button on that remote and I found that I have forgotten how to use the ON position! If the left wants to feed me crap I'm not buying!

Good News--yes, Americans trust the media over Trump. And those that trust the media are growing, while, alas, those that trust Trump are not.

Epic thread fail.

"...Number of Americans who trust Trump over the media hits a record low...Only 30 percent of people trust the president over the mainstream media, the lowest number over the past 10 months...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.8b954999d77b

https://www.poynter.org/ethics-trust...st-local-news/

https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...dia-than-trump
The media has had a LOWER approval rating then even Congress for a LONG time now and well deserved.

"Good News--yes, Americans trust the media over Trump."

Think about what you just said.

Most of the media you are refereeing to have been FALSELY reporting on Trump for over 2 YEARS.
MOST people get their "news" from these same sources, so it makes sense these same peopl have negative position about Trump.

If the media came out and said Mickey MOUSE is really a RAT non-stop for 6 months and a "poll" was done, I GUARANTEE "most" people would say he is a RAT.

Those only ONLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE BEING TOLD!

I do not equate social media with journalism.
