While you get journalists tweeting things like this, it's no wonder.

Not really. They don't wonder about that at all.

They know why you hate them. And really...they don't care since you guys pretty much hate anyone that scrutinizes Trump.

I don't think the media wonders why Trump supporters hate them. Everyone generally knows that Trump supporters basically worship Trump like no other and anything he dislikes, they dislike. It's not complicated at all which is why there is no need or motivation for the media to bother trying to appeal to them. They are a lost cause.

I just love it when someone I have never met tells me I 'hate'. I don't hate the press. I don't have one iota of respect for them right now though - at least for the MSM. They ARE doing what Trump says they are doing - twisting, omitting, slanting, distorting, you name it .. if there is a way to NOT report the news, nothing but the news and only the news, they are doing it right now. But, I don't hate them. In fact, I am now finding them (besides very pathetic) rather hilarious.


And I don't 'hate' anyone who 'scrutinizes' Trump. I feel sorry for most of those who do because they don't seem to have many good arguments - just accusations - and the 'breathlessness' with they do it is astounding. Trump should be scrutinized - but a smart rational person waits till they have facts in hand and sees what is really going on before they jump to conclusions. Therefore because most of what you call 'scrutinizing' seems to be coming from those who don't do it fairly and rationally, I again have little to no respect .. at least for their actions in this effort to discredit Mr. Trump .. YOUR president as well as mine.

What's with the not so subtle reminder that Trump is my president? Did i question his legitimacy?

And there you have it folks. That's just how sensitive these Trump voters are, hence making the whole point of my post.

Thanks. I knew some Trump supporter would come through for me and make my point. You were right on time.

I heard him speak--a naive, uneducated, brainwashed guy thrilled to shake the hand of Trump. Poor smuck.

I want to know the psychology of people that get personally offended if you make fun of Trump or don't acknowledge him as your president

So a news agency should not report ANYTHING until all firm facts are in? I think the MSM has a right to print news as it's coming out. We may not have all the facts at initial print, but the news agencies should continue to update the story as it develops. A good news agency will continue to fact check, print, change, and retract if necessary. I don't agree with news agencies that run with opinion as news and then when they get it totally wrong, won't own up to it. I see that on many internet sites.
