MSM is totally trashing Trump for today's press conference.  They are going apeshit crazy and trying to lock in the latest word, "unhinged," to frame their little narrative.  His administration was in "chaos," until that wore out, now it's in "turmoil." They're even reporting on today's presser with "WTF Moments."

What next?  Going to be interesting when they run out of words to describe him and dictators to compare him to, and they'll still have been wrong when it becomes apparent he is isn't any of it.

I'm enjoying watching them stew in their own juices.

The public (rational ones) are seeing through all of the MSM bullshit and aren't buying it.

It is fun to watch their heads spin around.  In the end it will be whether he produces results or not.  If GDP starts to go up at a 4% rate or so, the market keeps rising, the U6 starts coming down it will be hard to suppress that.

I certainly hope so.  The Hillary supporters are still in full blown media love fest.  Media lives DON'T MATTER!

Trump looked like he was having fun at certain points by taking little jabs here and there at them with a smirk. He's calling them out when they need it which is something we haven't seen in a long time. I liked how he discussed the hatred that's spewing forth from the media. I don't expect anything to change, however. The media will keep doing their thing and so will he.

The MSM consider themselves political elites (the 4th estate) and demand to be treated as so.  This is one area they despise the President since he not part of the political establishment. 

 It's almost impossible for them to hide their contempt for him, thus why we are seeing the news feeding frenzy and the wild news stories.  It's the MSM that has become "unhinged", not Trump.

I suspect that the MSM have been unhinged for a very long time.
Now that a president is commenting on it and not immediately taking his words back, they are in full rage.

It's the ultimate bully pulpit, Obama used it about the same way, although slightly more nuanced.   I love the 1st  amendment suppression tactic they keep trying on him, he just blows them up.  Before the internet they would have destroyed him by now, it's a new day and the fake news media is getting suppressed, f them.

Yep, fun to watch.  Jake Tapper was unhinged.

I always said his administration would be entertaining.

The real entertainment is watching the alt left and the MSM go unhinged.  Very entertaining indeed!

Perhaps if they acted as they should they may get treated better. I'm fine with the media challenging a president so long as they challenge every president, not just the ones they disagree with. Hard questions are not necessarily unfair questions.

The media's reaction afterwards was off the chart.  One has to wonder what they expected from Trump after they worked so hard to try and prevent him from being elected and been as anti-Trump as you can get since the election and now are doing everything they can to tear him down. 


Of course the real measure will be the end result as Trump gets his programs in place.  We'll need to see the U6 comes down and see some very positive GDP growth and I'm sure that somehow the media will find a way to spin it negatively.


He can never win them over and should not expect to, but he is letting them know that he's put them on notice.

It's really pathetic to see what "journalists" THINK they are, vs what the rest of us think they are.

Since my first presidential vote in 1980 to today, the media has worked to undermine Republicans at every single turn. When a Republican is in office, EVERY SNEEZE of the POTUS is up for analysis, investigation, and derision.  When a Democrat is in office, the media act merely like scribes, regurgitating whatever their host wishes them to say.

The only difference between 1980 and today is the extent to which the media no longer  bothers to hide their bias. Now, they celebrate it with the self-perceived moral superiority of Mother Theresa.
