The media like no other outlet forms public opinion. They have become a monster that seeks to devour Trump.

Trump is the news but why is it that the positive things that he has done gets no airtime while the negative is pumped up to levels of outrageous outrage?

They are trying to personally discredit the man and that is not unbiased news reporting.
I have seen some of his positive stories. You fail to recognize that his actions are very negative. The fact that you don't even perceive them as negative is very telling about you and, probably, all of his supporters. That you can view this latest week's antics as NOT negative is a head-scratcher. So you are either okay with the things he's done, or think they are all made up, or they are negative but should not be reported.

Maybe the whole world is against him because, truly, he is terrible. I can agree that on all levels of any area in life, their are sides and conspiracies. However, there are a TON of rich Republicans and rich Trump supporters that have the power and means to fight left-leaning lies or wrongdoing. The problem is that it's not happening to the degree you think it is. If were outrageous lies as you claim, or no-basis "devouring" of Trump, it could be easily fought. The problem is, it's the truth and Trump is doing it to himself. It's almost like they don't even have to dig for anything.

And that was on top of the classified info story. We don't even know exactly that info was given to the Russians, but that's ok. Trump is already a traitor according to the NBC news.

I don't think I can stomach watching Lester Holt and Chuck Todd ever again. How can anyone trust these liberal news outlets who clearly have an agenda to destroy Trump? I had to go to this website to find out exactly what Trump has done. The guy has been busy. Of course, it is a positive action, I'll never heard about it on NBC.

The weird thing is, other Republicans have been in power and not constantly "under attack" by the supposed "liberal" media.

Perhaps Trump is a career victim?

All previous presidents regardless of R or D were part of the establishment. EVERY candidate besides Trump that ran in 2016 was part of the establishment,its a good ole boy club....scratching each others backs while screwing us.

If you haven't watched it in a while then how do you know it is 'fake or misleading?' This site has the 30% of people who approve of this disaster in the White House. How do you guys, let's call you 30's, not see it???

You're upset with the "relentless attack on Trump" and I'm upset with Trump's relentless attack on the intelligence of most American's. Sounds like a good trade off. Don't want to watch his fall into infamy, then don't watch TV.

How did you feel during the Monica Lewinsky madness and how the media went on and on about knee pads, a blue dress, Linda Tripp, Ken Starr and blah blah?

Change it to what? I only have Fox News as the sole voice of the other side of the fence and there seems to be a hit job to destroy that network. Liberal sponsors hold the power. Still can't believe the OReilly Factor was destroyed that quickly.

OReilly was not destroyed quickly at all. He went on abusing his power at the network for decades and all of his problems were of his own making and they finally just caught up to him.
