Many voters have expressed hope that Donald Trump would become “more presidential” after the election, but Trump is still being Trump — much to the dismay of the mainstream media. He’s still on Twitter, and he’s still criticizing the press for unfair coverage of his campaign.
The press just aren’t used to a politician who punches back. For years, they’ve been able to manipulate, fabricate, and lie without consequence. Libel lawsuits against the media are few and far-between and winning such a suit is incredibly difficult. All the media have to prove is that they made an attempt to tell the truth. The truthfulness of the story itself is totally irrelevant.
Thus, most politicians have come to accept a dishonest press as an inevitability — but not Donald Trump. He threatened multiple organizations with lawsuits over the course of his campaign, and he’s not holding back now that he’s president-elect.
See why Trump’s first meeting with the press was described as a “firing squad” on the next page:
Hey Mark Long I think you need to read the second amendment again . Look up what them words ment when it was made ! Some words have changed meaning true story . Glad I woke up screw librals
Well deserved had it coming
Good job Mr. President-elect you tell them, I hate all that lying medias especially CNN. I can’t stand their narrowtive logical and how they manipulate people.
Drain the swamp as promised
Good job Donald.
We need real media not the mouth peace for the gov that the big networks are Facebook is our last stand if and when they take control of it they will have control all our news say it while you can it’s coming
I remember watching the news and hearing what was going on without the cast throwing in there personal opions. Now the cast wants to throw in there opions and turn everything into a debate and if they have an agenda like they did this election you are treated like c**p by them , not alowed to speak or always cut off and also tricked when asked a question to only reply yes or no to make them look stupid with know explanation of yes or no. Walter Croncite would be rolling over in his grave if he seen this bias money hungry journilism.
They had it coming….if words were stones ..poor Trump would have been stoned to death by these same people .
