Almost the entire country is relieved that the president has shortened his daily press briefings and reduced his own role in them. Those who support the president feel that he has made the point that he is completely unintimidated by media hostility and has no significant trouble fielding their questions, no matter how nasty, baiting, and repetitive, and that he need not submit himself or the dignity of his great office to any more of the outrageous discourtesy and distortions of his media enemies. Those who oppose the president will generally be relieved not have to watch any more of these sessions of lengthy bloviation

The traitorous Enemedia needs broken in a decisive way. Too many citizens are still under their influence.
But how?

The media are a scurrilous bunch filled with such animosity for the President that they are incapable of a modicum of respect for the office he holds. Their behavior says a lot more about them than it does about the President. Most of the media in the WHPC look as if they are under 30 and they certainly do not hold themselves to a professional standard. They are insolent, argumentative, and aggressive. They are like a pack of wolves. I applaud the President for his patience but I love that he calls them out as fake news because they are. He doesn’t take their guff and gives as good as he gets. Americans for the most part see right through them. They are reprehensible, disrespectful and so uninformed that it is embarrassing. They have never grown out of the teenager arguing with their parents mentality. Like most of the media, they are Irrelevant. We now have the propaganda arm of the democrat party pretending to be journalists. Right. Ridicule is too good for them. They should be fired for the their insolence but their employers are like-minded and send them to the White House to attack the President on a daily basis.

Black phones it in with 'they're as bad as each other.'
Fail.

I totally avoid the left media and the WH press conferences. Those organizations are atrociously non-professional. I also don't agree with anything the democrats are for. I have to wonder why anyone would vote for a democrat. They stand for nothing good.

I liked it best when he had his press gaggle amid the noise of Marine one and you couldn't see any of the reporters, they got no on-camera time.

I've made it pretty clear how I feel about the msm and still hoping that a national boycott of the msm will take hold permanently. The msm is largely stocked with millennials who aren't even old enough to know what that square "save as" icon on their computer screen came from. Snotty, disrespectful, extremely vain, self-centered, and entitled. The indoctrination centers made sure. Today's young "fake journalist" want it all today. Do the gray-haired journalists among the msm who you would expect to have some common sense even question what has happened to their trade. I doubt it.

I worry about the constant drumbeat that this is PDJT's fault. Also that Fox is now pretty firmly in the mainstream camp. Folks are used to going there for the news nearest the truth. Now they are on the other side. I fear people's minds will change & cause problems come Nov.
I usre hope not.

Not mine, but worth repeating: "Today President Trump suggested that people should drink more water. Media reports it as Trump Wants to See Americans Drown!"
The MSM didn't have to turn themselves into the Enemedia. They chose to do that.

The previous excuse for a president that we suffered through for eight years was the one who deserved daily grillling and ridicule but there wasn't a peep from the MSM. Was it because he is a homaseckshul or because of that skin thing that they glossed over every crime, misstatement and stumble? They not only ignored his blind stupidity but they worshiped him and that taller man who accompanied him on trips.

FTA "This president is more articulate and forthcoming with the press than were Presidents Eisenhower, Ford, Reagan, and the Bushes, though it seems that President Eisenhower, as his press secretary James Hagerty claimed...". Why wasn't Clinton and Obama included in that list? Both went MONTHS without taking ANY questions from the press AT ALL in an open setting!

Welcome to the anti-Trump Full Court Press. Daily they try to destroy him, yet not a single word about Biden, credibly accused of rape while Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. This is now the media standard and it's only going to get worse.

By supporting eight years of traitor Obama and then the election of criminal Clinton, the media demonstrated what "side" they were on. But then by joining the nonstop War on the Trump Administration beginning on Day One, and continuing through the Kavanaugh hearings, the impeachment fraud, and now their rejection of rape charges against Sleepy Joe Biden, they've proven themselves enemies of America.
President Trump should join the rest of us in simply ignoring them. --Vets for Trump 2020

The media respects politicians. President Trump isn't a politician, so the press is free to hate, mock and beleaguer him to their soul's satisfaction. While Trump is not a politician, per se, he is quite Presidential. By that is meant that he is a duly elected President. If this were truly a police state, the media would have been shot, en masse, according to the Red China dictates to which they passionately aspire. (For me personally, all media is my sworn enemy. Every man for himself.)

Ya know these pieces about how the little snots in the media hate Trump are tiresome. Please, someone write about something else. We have known since Trump came down the elevator that they hate him and his supporters, and will do anything to defeat him and us. Mr. Black, how about doing some investigative pieces on Fauci, or Whitmer, or Pelosi and Schumer or Cuomo? Break some news why don't you?.

The ENEMY WITHIN
Newspapers lie
News networks lie
Reporters lie
Talking heads lie
Sock puppets lie
Influence-peddlers lie
We need a vast network of conservative news and a few conservative newspapers
Tell them the truth!

I'm listening to Trump talk right now. I think he is cryptically telling the country that this coronavirus debacle was deliberate. I could be wrong, but I want to see if the MSM begins to come up with their own conspiracy theories.

The Press Conferences is not a debate forum and the press needs to learn that. Ask a (that's one) question then sit down.
