I would argue they've done quite the job of undermining themselves, when someone accuses you of pushing fake news and being biased, you don't respond with 3 years of fake news and ridiculous bias unless you want people to ignore you.

They keep playing right into Trump's hand by not just actually being journalists rather than being extensions of the DNC propaganda arm.

When Obama went after Fox News by accusing them of the same, people like you cheered it, now the shoe is on the other foot and you whine about it.

It is funny how people can pick and choose characteristics from a dictator but as long as they are using it to attack Trump then I guess they are ok with it.
Have you listened to him at his daily press briefings?
All he does is read a script for a few minutes then he starts rambling about anything that doesn't have to do with the Corona pandemic.

Donald Trump lashes out at 'RINO' Republicans including Lindsey Graham who want him to cut back on coronavirus briefings:

Great comment.

Very few ever address your comments because they simply can't. They are one-trick ponies who are unable to see beyond a Media Matters talking point.

Yeah. I think that is how China and Russia do it.

Wasn't long ago - your side was complaining that the President hadn't had a news conference - decide what the heck you guys want - not that pleasing you is the top priority at this time.

I'm fine with the press asking nothing but "gotcha" questions and being openly hostile if they don't mind sacrificing their credibility to go that route. I'm also fine with the president or anyone else being hostile in response to their nonsense.

If they don't want to actually be journalists, rather merely partisan hacks playing games, they should be treated as such.

Those who ask stupid or unfair questions, should be verbally slapped around for it.

Leftists prefer polished talkers who hate America over rough and unfiltered loudmouths who love America. They prefer a president who bows to despots and dictators while elegantly apologizing for our freedoms. They want a president who shuttles pallets of cash to regimes who fund the killing and maiming of our citizens across the globe. That's their kind of president, a soft-spoken, beta male, who, like them, thinks the US is irretrievably broken, and like DJT, needs to be taken down a few notches.

What a lot you are.

Trump believes the purpose of these "briefings" is ratings.

He thinks he's still on The Apprentice. That this doesn't bother people is concerning.

Hey professor, he's having a medal put around his neck. Is that what your Google search turned up? LOL. Your post is an industrial-grade failure.
