Listen up MSM, you folks need to stop the coverage of politics and government. Please stick to reporting weather, train derailments and annual conventions of the Red Hat Society. If I want to know about politics, I will get it from CREDABLE sources like Breitbart, Mother Jones, Limbaugh, Spicer or POTUS himself. This way, I can be sure no "fake news" will enter into my newsfeed.

Speaking of politics, please stop being so mean and unfair to POTUS. Yes, I am aware that you were also tough on:
JFK for the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
Nixon for Watergate.
Carter for the hostages in Iran.
Reagan for Iran-Contra.
Clinton for Whitewater and Lewinski
Bush 43 for WMD
Obama for ACA

But these guys were experienced politicians who could handle it. The current POTUS isn't thick-skinned enough for it. So, STOP! being mean to him.

With respect to your coverage of fake news, I wish you guys would stop reporting on such bogus stories like terrorist attacks, Arab wars, lunar landings, Watergate, Russian election interference and focus on the real POTUS related news like 3-5 MILLION illegal voters, sunny inaugurations, fine tuned machines, largest inaugural turnout EVER, and how terrible Saturday Night Live really is. Lest you guys forget, you are America's newest greatest enemy. According to POTUS, you have now officially surpassed Islamic Terrorism as our greatest national security threat.

In fact, why don't you guys take a lesson from the former Soviet TASS news agency, and only air political news that has been pre-approved by the White House Communication Office. If you did, 39% of voters would like you guys much better. I know that you believe in free speech, but you guys don't really think that our founders REALLY believed in a "free press" do you? That bit they put in the Bill of Rights, was just "fake news". I hope that you don't believe that we gained our independence either. Nope, more fake news. We are now under the rule of "The Donald" and you better get used to it. Just don't tell him that he hasn't any clothes. He is sensitive about much things.

To atone for your transgressions, each of you should make sizeable donations to the welfare fund for the victims of the infamous "Bowling Green Massacre". You should make the donation in the name of Kellyanne Conway - who was the ONLY one who provided us with this earth-shattering news. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for not reporting on this horrible national tragedy. Thank goodness the current administration would NEVER say anything that wasn't 1000 % correct. they would never think of promulgating "fake news".

On a serious note, thank you MSM for doing your jobs and keep up the great work! You are exactly the reason I know that Kellyanne's B.S. about Bowling Green was nothing more than typical Trump B.S...............:)

Nixon tried to take down the press and failed miserably, Trump will fail even more spectacularly. Who knows, Nixon may yet lose his claimed to being the only sitting president to resign. We can only hope.

You want Trump to resign and put that religious right lunatic Pence in Lincoln's chair? No thanks.

Pence will be controlled by the establishment instead of being controlled by the lunatic fringe that controls Trump. Given the choice, I will take establishment.

Well, when you put it that way.....

As someone who disagrees with the conservative ideology I very much prefer Trump over Pence. Trump will crash and burn and give Democrats(hopefully someone from the progressive caucus) momentum for 2020. Pence is smart and charismatic, but conniving and too far right wing. He scares me more than Trump.... Republicans would be in better position to retain their control with Pence than Trump. SO therefor I am sitting back enjoying this disarray of a Presidency, but hoping Trump doesn't do something so stupid that would result in impeachment. However, my hopes are not looking good.

Stopped reading there!

Maybe, now just maybe, if Trump can't handle the criticism, he shouldn't have run for president in the first place.

When you declare war on the media during your campaign, don't be surprised when the media fights back.

EDIT: Never mind, I finished your post. Well done.

Don't be surprised when they lose.

You could try looking for sources which know how to spell CREDIBLE. Meanwhile enjoy your Trump-bashing, though perhaps in a little shorter posts.

Exactly. Just type:

Trump's Presidency so far can be compared to:

JFK for the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
Nixon for Watergate.
Carter for the hostages in Iran.
Reagan for Iran-Contra.
Clinton for Whitewater and Lewinski
Bush 43 for WMD
Obama for ACA

I'm still considering those options. Sorry, but Russian Roulette isn't my game, no matter what kind of gun is used.
 
I would feel a heck of a lot better with President Pence in charge.

Definitely and given his political stances it's sad I would rather have him in charge than trump.

Funny posts. Nothing like reading a sentence or two, determining what group the writer belongs to, and respond with your cookie cutter biases about that group. Saves a lot of time.

The media declared war on Trump as soon as it was realized he was right wing and populist-lite.

The fact that the media is now bitching and moaning that they're getting flak for shooting first is hilariously laughable.
 
When was CNN hard on Obama for the ACA?
 
Someday, the "Trumpeting", fake news, media bashers will figure out that most of Trumps media wounds are "self inflicted.
He simply lies, gets caught and then blames the media for catching him lying.
He fired Flynn for lying to Pence, then blamed the media for mistreated Flynn and tells us how great he is.
If he was that great, Trump wouldn't have fired him. Oh wait, that's the medias fault too.

You guys prove P.T. Barnum right every time you post such nonsense. The man lies and non of you Trump lovers can admit it despite the mounting evidence. Sad...:(

Every time our Great and Glorious President torches the media, they react just like Pavlov's dogs. They run around in little circles like they have one foot nailed to the floor. The net effect is that it gives the vanquished leftists something to gnash their teeth over AND it gives us WINNERS something to cheer about for hours on end while President Trump makes jokes about the media at his rallies. Of course, we call them parties, because that is what they are, but the vanquished leftists MUST call them "rallies" because it gives them something to point to. What? So who do you think could really give a **** about what you call them? They are par-dees where Big D makes fun of the losers. It's better than the WWF...or the Rodeo...Drag Racing. Get used to it. The best is yet to come.

Who forces you to read,listen to or watch any news that you're not interested in?

Fill us in.

Putin spent his first year in office making Russians beleive the press was a lying sack of ****. Then he funneled in his own state run media to tell only his propaganda to people and his political opponents end up dead.

Trump is on the plan, he's only in his first month and he has 38% of Americans believing him. Let's just hope the number keeps going down. We really don't need an authoritarian president and a press that's no longer free.

The MSM is not the "press" as a whole. They are, in all reality, a very small faction of "press" which really isn't even accurate either since they are pretty much corporations.

The idea that Breitbart is a credible news source is so freaking stupid it's just awesomely stupid

Because of internet technology the MSM needs Trump more than he needs them. Maybe its time to cut them off.
