Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” ABC News’ White House reporter Jonathan Karl said President Donald Trump “is attacking us sometimes because the fan base loves it, it’s the biggest applause lines at his rallies.”Karl said, “I’ve had these experiences behind the scenes with him where I have seen how he interacts with me as a reporter covering him, the way he courts me, tries to intimidate me, tries to flatter me all sometimes in the same day and then go out and put on this show. These coronavirus briefings show in vivid color the way he has operated, which is somebody who takes on the press, loves to pick the fights
I wish he would stop having press briefings. All they do is criticize him. The set up with the reporter from Hong Kong was over the top. It's a safety issue. Ban them to the outdoors and read the facts. No questions.

Well, Jonathan, maybe it's time for you press pukes to ask yourselves a 9/11 type question: "Why do they hate us?"

I could think of no lower a career path to take than that of a so-called "news journalist". They are a propaganda tool for the Democrat party and have lost all credibility with the remainder of the American public that still possesses common sense.

FTA: “courts me...intimidate me...flatter me...Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde performance he puts on” As a business tycoon, Donald Trump was likely a taskmaster who gave employees chances to excel and, if they did not, suffer consequences commensurate with circumstances; no time for mollycoddling in the business world. It would not be surprising if Donald Trump, as President, extends kindness and patience to members of the White House Press Corps because they are people he must deal with regardless of their personal biases and wants to give them “chances” to behave like civilized adults, which they do not, so when they have repeatedly abused his kindnesses, his patience, he rightfully sets them straight. No Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, no performance, a gentleman living in the real world.

He attacks the press because they deserve it and have deserved it for a long time and he's not going to sit there and let them get away with their crap anymore. He is hitting back and hitting them hard. Keep it up. Finally, a real man doing what real men do.

Get over yourself, Karl (what a name!); the President does not court or flatter you. You're dreaming or making things up. Liar.

Sorry Karl but we have seen the behavior of the press in these briefings. You are all there with your gotcha questions. You are not working to gather the valuable information for the American people; you are there to try to bring down this President. I was taught journalism in high school and college, I know a good question when I hear it and I would say on any given night I hear maybe 3 out of 10 questions that are. The rest are clearly based on underlying false information or just pointless.
I have seen some bad journalism in my lifetime since I have now reached the ripe old age of 75 but I have never seen a group of journalist who have behaved with so much bias. I have to say the Nixon years were the closest thing to what I am witnessing but with this man your behavior is clearly beyond the pale and perhaps I am comparing it to the lapdogs that you were for the 8 yrs of Obama where you showed no curiosity for any behavior that was clearly unconstitutional. He admitted as much himself with some glee since he knew very few voices were willing to speak up.
The press who should be a voice for reasonable questions is now just a screaming mob of ignorant banshees. I thank God for the internet because the major networks are merely a propaganda machine for the DNC, and the only reason that Trump is able to defeat you is that he unlike other Republican Presidents before him is willing to go toe to toe and call you out and with facts and he wins with victories that he himself has to point out because you refuse to give him credit due. Night after night more and more people witness the hatred that drives you and your cohorts and it is disgusting to observe. Frankly I don't know how you live with yourselves.
I spend as much time researching archives to verify facts these days than I do reading stories which I know are clearly false because I lived through the events and I still have a very good memory. You see not all of us were hippies who lived through, not the fog of war but the fog of drugs. And believe me there were plenty of us who did not march and cheer Jane Fonda while she betrayed our soldiers. We were the silent majority and we still are, That is why your polls are rarely right. We are sill here and our voice is only heard in November. And more than ever this November we will be heard once again because of your pathetic display of viciousness night after night.

To me, it is called "Holding the press accountable." He is calling out the 'gotcha' questions and the showboating. I watch the daily briefing and I have question. However, the press is not interested in gathering information from the Coronavirus Task Force Leadership in front of them. Instead, they are looking to attach the president and gets the thumbs up from Dr Fauci.

I’m late to the party this morning, but here’s my $100. Karl is a whiny, sneaky, brat who thinks he can get away with attacking a Republican. You would have credibility if you treated The Clinton’s or Obama the way you go after Trump. You refuse to get it, and you deserve every bit of abuse Trump throws your way. And your signaling with Fauci is the same as giving Trump the finger. Do you think he didn’t notice that? Karl should review The Golden Rule.

Corporate media is the enemy of the people. If the President can create some entertainment by skewering them publicly I am delighted.

Mr. Karl assumes everybody likes him, and that he knows it all, but neither of those premises is true. The truth, Mr. Karl, is no one likes you, or watches ABC, who has no following, and would be out of business without mandatory cable tv bundling.

Karl, worth 11 million and earning $100 K a year, functions as an entertainer with an agenda, as do most of his ilk. Unfortunately, his "product" is not tied directly to his salary. If he were a Los Vegas performer and people stopped coming to his show, he would be dropped. The "news" people hide behind layers of insulation protecting them from being singled out for uselessness. If companies want to advertise their products, even to a dwindling audience, the evening news is the only game in town. Online and other advertising has eaten into that but cold sale advertising is still done on TV.
Trump has give several of the performers "the hook" and they hate him for it. They are also jealous because he is better at their game than they are. So yes, Trump is a performer. That is the nature of politics. The media decided they were going to pull him off the stage, as they have done to so many others. But Trump knows their industry and is smarter than they are. He is also capable at managing that small piece of his responsibilities AND do all the rest required of him as President. They can't figure him out or keep up with him. They are playing checkers and he is playing 4th dimensional chess.
Karl is too dumb and arrogant to know how badly outclassed he is.
