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

most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

The Russia thing is an example of bipartisan hypocrisy, when it's the Dems the republicans bitch, when it's the republicans the Dems bitch and so on and so on ... back and forth back and forth

I think no matter what bad experience you have in life, you need to recognize the aspects that made you a better person.

The collusion with major media channels and government is as despicable as mixing church and state.
One point I love from that video is: the good news is there is no gatekeeper, that bad news is, there is no gate keeper.
I think it is fair to say that major monopolies in media have the governments hands too far down their pants.

The problem with our media is not that we have let them get too out of control, its that we have let government get to damn big.

1. Even though it was bogus, I was taught the value of volunteering
2. I learned to speak in public even though I didn't want to
3. I met a lot of people some I would consider really amazing people, most others not so much

Trump was elected as a disruptive force. He's disrupting politics, and media, maybe he can make these assholes come together and actually do something good for once. It's the whole populist thing. The two biggest things people distrust in this country
1. Politicians
2. Media
The two things Trump is pissing on
1. Politicians
2. Media
It's not brain surgery that it's less what he wants and more what the populist wants, and the more the media and politicians whine the more it shows people Trump is disrupting the system.
Again just playing devils advocate.
If he tried to censor the news, or shut it down I would be worried, but for now lets be honest people, he is just pissing them off. That really doesn't bother me.

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
