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:
Might as well wrote the press off. They are never going to change & at this point who cares what their opinion is. Good honest journalism is dead.
They well deserved it!
SO SICK of the media don;t blame Trump for anything he says CNN screwed around with him all through the election so now screw CNN and all the rest
Everyone one in the world says one thing, Fox News says another, then you look around like everyone else is wrong in some vast conspiracy and not that you are being spoon fed propaganda. Put your tin foil hat on a little to the left next time and strap it on tight!
Think you all had it coming.
News media is the bottom of the sewer. Most disgusting fowl smelling bunch of bottom feeders. Don’t give them access until they take showers.
Long overdue!
They deserved it.
Egypt, really?
