I'm not talking about the Democrats or the GOP. That's legitimate because they're the opposition to each other. I'm referring to the media like the NY Times and the Washington Post. They've made it their purpose in life to destroy the Trump administration. While they've always been biased left and Democrat, it's gotten out of hand. Any balance has evaporated.
Look, anyone can find or spin good or bad in a person and attack or defend them. We take sides here and do that all the time. Democrat and Republican politicians can do that too. That's all legit. But when influential newspapers do it, it's destructive. It's become totally political. Media is 90% against Trump. It's really fake news and by that I don't mean untruthful. I mean biased so the warts are headlined on page 1 and the good stuff is buried on page 47. It's working somewhat now, except for the Trump faithful. But will that work in the end? Will independents eventually see through the plot to destroy Trump and then take it out on Democrats? No one likes to be fooled. Well, time will tell.
Given the current context (digital media, Breitbart, alt-Right, etc.), I don't understand your constant harping about the liberal media. There are all kinds of points of view easily available out there now. It's as if you're a politician on the campaign trail trying to control the message, always returning to the biased media. Trump initiated public feuds with people in his own party (e.g., McConnell) and people he placed in office (e.g., Sessions), you can't blame that on the loonie-left media. There is a twitter trail of evidence. Internal battles at the white house are subject of daily coverage in the press. The GOP has majorities in both houses. They should be sitting on top of the world, but they're not. Are you saying that's the fault of the NY Times? At some point, the competence of the people involved has to be called into question.
This persistent whining about the big bad media is getting old. They can't have been THAT big or THAT bad, since he won the election, as you keep pointing out. Being President of the USA is hardball, about as hardball as you can get, but I'm not seeing a firm control of the situation, do you? If he wants to be President, then a combative press comes with the territory. If he doesn't like that, tough, deal with it. If he can't, then he should leave and let someone competent do the job.
The Republicans should be laughing right about now, there is not even an well-organized Democratic party to fight them, but instead they're feuding among themselves, and Trump is the reason. Sooner or later, voters, even the base, are going to start wondering what the weak link is. The rest of the country already has a pretty good idea, I'd say.
