  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  Red Herring. With respect, no they haven't. No President has ever attacked the news media as an institution until Trump.

  Just gonna leave this right here

  

  

  Back in 2009, the press team had clearly set its sites on one news network in particular: Fox News Channel.

  s Anita Dunn, the White House communications director at the time in an appearance on CNN:

  “What I think is fair to say about Fox — and certainly it's the way we view it — is that it really is more a wing of the Republican Party. They take their talking points, put them on the air; take their opposition research, put them on the air. And that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is.”

  The White House used its official blog to publicly call out what it labeled “Fox lies.” Politico referred to the sharp attack from the executive branch on a news organization as “unusual.” The White House also deliberately excluded Fox News from a round robin of presidential interviews in September 2009.

  Dan Pffeifer, the White House deputy communications director, defended the administration's stance towards Fox this way:

  “We simply decided to stop abiding by the fiction, which is aided and abetted by the mainstream press, that Fox is a traditional news organization."

  This is just another example of the EMOTIONAL response to hating Trump, and actually BUYING everything the media is saying has you brainwashed. That everything he does is awful and unique. PLEASE START USING CRITICAL THINKING.

  So you are saying that far-left SJW type leftist crybabies are ridiculous... and Trump is just about as ridiculous as they are...
  I guess I agree with that

  That would be correct, the volatility runs deep, and the triggers are sensative

  By calling them "fake news" yes he has.

  To play orange devils advocate, Obama and other presidents have done the same, in much less theatrical manner of course

  I think free press is critical no matter how wacky, just like free speech, that being said I do think several media outlets deserve harsh criticism for whom they have gotten into bed with, and also how they have monopolized the propaganda of one party or another. There is news out there that just reports stories, they do exist, but I don't know which ones lean which way half the time, if I find a story or even a fact that is negative towards one political group, I then have to google where the media outlet lands on the political scale, so I can avoid being criticized for quoting them. Then I try to find the same story on the otherside's news slant so it's qualifies... does everyone see how crazy this has gotten?

  Also you are claiming Obama as a victim of biased news, I haven't heard anyone hear say anything to the contrary. I think no news crowd went at him as hard as Trump, but sure he suffered the same thing of being a victim of the spin, and he did present himself with class and dignity, I don't think that always means he was dignified, the fabrication of a lie about Benghazi? and never being able to call out radical islam? sadly those are not classy moves, but I agree, he presents himself 2000% better than trump, no doubt.

  Freemindfade, modern leftists such as whom

  such as the ones rioting... I mean protesting... and having cry-ins, saying "allahu akbar" in times square simply because its liberal sheik to be super pro-islam even if you hate and denounce every other religion on earth, the "not my president" cry babies. There are a lot of rational, liberal people out there who don't like trump who are condemning this breed of brainless leftism. Largely because that nonsense is what got us trump in the first place, but instead of acknowledging that and regroups they are throwing a tantrum. Just like they protested instead of voting for Killary. If you were wondering if it was directed at you or anyone here, no it wasn't.

  Got it from CNN instead of Breitbart. Sorry to whomever that offends

  I have yet to hear anyone on here say the Breitbart is their news source of choice, quite the contrary, I hear most rational people putting them all into the same category. So you sound crazy because you are basically talking to no one.

  And please read more. You said:

  And I directly disagree with you. He is volatile.

  But I didn't say he wasn't, I actually said:

  I don't see him any more volatile than modern leftists though lol. honestly, the "trigger" folks I am speaking of, not the ones still using their brains.

  I call him President Small Hands to make a point. He is volatile.

  I don't see him any more volatile than modern leftists though lol. honestly, the "trigger" folks I am speaking of, not the ones still using their brains.

  I think this is whey they are so vulnerable to trolling, and trump is a troll of epic orange proportions. He lobs out stuff the media can't wait to blow up, then he cries foul and on and on the cycle goes...

  Everyone keeps over simplifying the mass immigration issue in Europe into a "crime rate". The problem is much more complex than that. The integration into society has failed in many places. They call these "vulnerable" whatever the hell that means. There is social cost everyone avoids speaking of, that fact that this experiment isn't working.

  So all those on the right think the press shouldn't challenge Trump's obvious lies

  Who has said anything like that once???? And most people commenting are not right, they are liberals I am sure. It's one thing to call someone on something clearly wrong, it's another to lose your mind every time someone (trump) takes a breath (CNN). Do you remember the news trying to spin his second amendment comment as an assassination threat at Clinton and the Supreme Court??? its absolute stupidity, that is not reporting the news, that is making up the news. For the record for several years I have been the biggest critic of right wing media (Fox), but the other side has sunk down to their level or lower at times (CNN) in the last few years.

  Knocking the news is an advocation for right wing news, knocking the democrats is a vote for trump, you spolletta are being JWesque in your all or nothing mentality

  We are at war with political Islam, not Muslims.
