I thought you guys might have learned this on Nov 8th, and again last week.
*sigh* No..the 'people' don't hate the MSM...they do distrust it.

The people sure don't love Trump...he gets his base 1/3rd--of the voters....in case you missed math that day..that's 2 to 1 against.


I predict this, that the media will regain their credibility long before Trump or the Congress does.

This is the only poll that matters.




Glad to clear it up for you.

Yea. I said polls. Not electoral maps. Gee. You are very easily confused. Maybe you need a map.

What????? You wouldn't know that from the ratings, love 'em or hate 'em, that's all that counts. They thrive on controversy, and Trump accommodates. Right now, they're poking the dog with a stick, if he keeps reacting, they'll keep doing it.

That's at least the second time today you're posted that map.

That was then, this is now - and the future is yet to be discerned.

Old news just gets older.

You mean like Obama who was attacked viciously by everyone including Trump and called a Muslim terrorist and not even born in this country?

Guess what, the President is the most criticized and ridiculed human being on Earth. Comes with the job. Trump is just to weak, too thin-skinned, and too immature to deal with it.

Confused.

It's not me who cite polls put out by hacks who did such a bad job calling the election.

Yup..cleared it up for me---you think that the election day results are static???? Yes, Trump is President..but if you think that a lot of people have not changed their minds in the last 6 months....I think you are wrong.

As for polls..predictive polls are not opinion polls. To say that all polls are wrong..because one time a demagogue skewed the model--is a bit silly.

Trump's agenda, like all authoritarian leaders, is to discredit the press, and he has been working toward that end from the beginning. Don't discount this as impossible. It's Fascism 101, and that is the playbook Trump has been following.

Trump's Diatribes Against the Press Are Producing a Backlash - NBC News

The media is getting personal---and the media has power...not so much here at C-D---but many, many, many millions of people still have their opinions shaped by the MSM. Trumps 32% won't care..but how long can the tail wag the dog?

The irony is how they have constantly attacked him in such vulgar ways. They have insinuated incest, said that he could crap on his desk and would be defended, attacked his young son, called his wife a hooker, said he had golden rain parties with hookers, holds up his bloody decapitated head... and on and on and on and on and on.

He tweets that Mika was bleeding from cosmetic surgery and the left go stark wild, it's the end of the world crazy. I can't blame him, though I didn't like it, for finally lashing out at her. She has been a complete moron for months and he finally had enough.

The press have been doing that all on their own. They have shown themselves to be well versed in self-destruction.
