Trump is SO CUNNING. He is setting it up so that no matter what the legitimate press reports, people won't believe them.

Those who go along with Trump's view of the press will be duped bigly.

Wake up people.
We sure are living in interesting times.

The Navajo folk saying also comes to mind, "You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep".

I want to know the psychology of those that chant "not my president" all the time. Who are they talking about? Hillary Clinton? Bernie Sanders? Because they truly are "not their president". Unlike Trump, who IS. Liberalism really is a mental illness. Are they delusional? In denial? Or just flippin' stupid children throwing a tantrum?

Scrutiny is acceptable, people want to see balanced scrutiny, not 90% negative coverage all day, every day. The two minutes hate for Goldstein has become the 24 hours hate for Trump.

They should absolutely point out when he's not doing his job properly, but also give him credit for the things he does well. Honesty and legitimate sources would also go a long way to restoring trust.

It's clearly not a healthy situation when a President is at war with the media, but it's equally unhealthy when the media is at war with a President, especially when a considerable proportion of the US population have recently voted for him.

I think the media is well aware of why Trump supporters hate them,Basically Trump tells his lemmings to hate something or some one and his obedient cult follows his orders,
The media? enemies of the state.fake news believe nothing they say.
Hillary Clinton? corrupt criminal who should be locked up or shot.
Liberals ?anti American.
Etc.

So it has absolutely nothing to do with the way in which the media have conducted themselves? They are beyond reproach?

If you believe that, you are just as bad as Trump's "lemmings".

If you are referring to CNN they stopped being a credible news source a long time ago they are the leftwing equivalent of FOX, They are a political opinion channel that represents left wing thinking and as such you probably wont agree with their viewpoints if you are a trump supporter.
As for fake news you may not like what CNN has to say but its not fake news,fake news is something completely fabricated with no factual basis kinda like the National Enquirers drivel.CNN reports its leftwing take on the news,Trump doesnt like the general criticism he gets from CNN thus the fake news accusation.

25% of eligible voters is not a considerable portion of the US when we're talking about choosing a leader who represents all of us.

Most conservative media hate began way before Trump.

Any conservative who was paying attention to their propaganda coverage of the event in Ferguson, MO, alone, would hate them.
