f**k the media. I am sick and tired when our illustrious media directly ask trump a question they

allow him to spew his bullshit without challenging him. This is the same thing they did all through 2016.

When chuck todd said it wasn't the media's job to correct factual errors, I didn't realize just how pervasive it was within the whole industry

We are so screwed

1. It's sickening

2. you nailed it Shred. only afterwards. There was a time when reporters actually took charge of an

interview, asked follow-up questions on falsehoods or clarifications, it is mostly doesn't exist anymore

7. Sad but true

3. We need

a citizen funded news outlet that will ask the questions. CT worries about his countenance too much and he comes off being overly smug. He seems to be fine with asking a hard question in the comfort of his chair, but, then folding when the rhetoric gets heated. imho.
Jim Acosta looks tired. He's such a trooper. He puts himself out there and they unload on him as if he was the focal point of all things bad that day. The other problem is NO PRESS CONFERENCES. How convenient. Never has to anser a question by reporters and if he does he prefaces it with a shit storm of "fake news" bullshit. Even overseas. I remember a day when saying bad things about America overseas was close to treason itself. So many things have changed. Who ever comes next will have an awful mess, but, a willing nation to rebuild it. (Hopefully.)

6. Free Speech TV. Citizen funded. No ads and no Corp control

8. Sounds like a good starting point.

Let's make it a free ANTENNAE channel as well. Not cable.

12. That would be phenomenal.

4. The media is stuck between trump bs and viewer/reader shallowness, imo.

trump can bs blather about Manafort not really part of the trump campaign. The media could follow up, and probably has sometimes, with 'Gates and Flynn know' almost everything about the trump campaign and administration, and have pleaded 'guilty' - however, those names are relatively meaningless to many of their audience, and don't count for much audience excitement, interest or ratings.

9. Not really part of the campaign

Just the Chairperson.

5. Supreme Leader Trump does not like being interrupted

He wants attention sure, but is allergic to accountability

[riversedge]

10. yes, we saw the blabbering on and on in full force this morning when the media -each one of them

tried their best to shout their questions at him. A few of the reporters did push back at a few lies from Trump, but then trump just repeated what he said. A few reporters did try to correct him.

11. This post is nonsense

Those reporters were doing the best they could with a clearly unhinged mentally unstable individual babbling on. It’s only a matter of time before he tries to order the Secret Service to shoot a few of them.

Only the American people are accountable for this. They want constant entertainment and they voted for this fuckwad.
