    Play what down the middle? Get serious, everybody has an agenda. The fact is Trump doesn't need any help looking bad. He brings a lot of this stuff on himself. He lies continuously, he's inept, and he's trying to discredit his critics. He brings the majority of this stuff on himself.

    You're just a hyperbole bomb aren't you? ;)

    It's only an issue because no one has the skills to deal with a "hostile" media. Cry me a river that the President has to deal with a media that doesn't like him. Welcome to the club.

    No one says they want them to kiss his feet. But the majority of this stuff is way over the top. There has to be some middle ground between their hero worship of Obama and what many people think is them actively seeking the removal of Trump.

    The recent healthcare saga is an excellent example of how screwed up Trump is. He claims healthcare like everything else he claims would be so easy to solve during the campaign. He gets into office and come to find out after 7 years the Republicans in the House not only don't have a plan, they can hardly pass anything. Trump then claims who would have guessed healthcare would be so difficult to solve. After they pass it Trump has a big party claiming victory. After the Anmerican public get upset with the plan then Trump calls the plan mean.


    In the end Trump regardless of being completely ignorant of healthcare can claim victory not because he solves anything in a meaningful way but because he is the center of the storm, the center of attention. This is what is most important to Trump.

    Nobody said anything like that. That only applied to Obama.

    He acts like an dishonest idiot incompetent liar and they treat him like one. Ah Trumpy, he's being treated so unfairly. LOL


    I guess everyone else missed the part where you've decided to give him a pass. LOL

    Fake news is real! Trump knows what he's talking about. He even has Time magazine covers adorning his properties... fake covers.

    You know, if I were a Trump supporter I would go for the theory that the Fake News MSM planted those Fake News covers just to make my boy look good, I mean bad. I mean surely Donald would never let them hang there if he knew the Fake News Media were trying to make him look good. LOL

    After one day of live coverage here again we have another no camera audio delayed White House Press Briefing. Fake Administration propaganda gets another win.

    You know your probably right. Trump probably deserves a better approval rating too. I mean after all he's on all those Fake News Time Covers. Oh why can't everyone just Luv Trump as much as he Luvs himself?

    Maybe the reporters need to go back to just asking questions instead of jumping up and grandstanding in front of the cameras to impress their like minded colleagues?

    Might be time for some introspection.

    He doesn't need any help looking bad. Agreed. But he does need help dialing whatever level of bad he is all the way up to 11. And I strongly suspect that if the media were honest most folks would have a much more accurate estimation of to what extent he's actually bad. Except for binary thinkers. Then, depending on which side you're on, it'll ether be 0 or 11 no matter what.

    It's because they've been allowed to control the room. Again, Spicer seems unable to control the room, and that's kinda his job. He is not the first Press Secretary to face "hostile" reporters. Restricting information output seems to be the wrong direction we need to be traveling.

    Well it is obvious that you have an agenda. I know that I try to be consistant in my constitutuinal conservativism. Trump is somewhere in between you and I.

    My point though is that Journalists have always in the past purported themselves to be unbiased, and should be. However over the last 9 years they have shed their facade of impartiality.
