    Donald Trump’s attacks on the media may have backfired
    Trust in mainstream American newspapers has grown, even among conservatives

    Perhaps a bit off thread topic, but another reason to like Brett Baier... my oldest daughter was also born with transposition of the great vessels 24 years ago, went through the arterial switch operation at age 5 days old (and the most challenging part... the pulmonary artery that Brett refers to). She is now finishing her Master in Homeleand Security and hopes to work for the CIA.

    trumpster whataboutism gets corrected... and btw, even fox news reporters have corrected the complaint that Obama didn't like their coverage as a justification of what trump has done with the media.

    If I were in the tank for Trump, I'd prefer they didn't show up either. It's like the idea that Trump supporters tried to sell months back that we should "just ignore" Trump's tweets.

    It would be awesome if I could tell people to just ignore every personality fault I have and only judge me by the good half of the equation.

    It is in Trump's interest for us to pretend all the crazy, devisive things he and his supporters do don't exist.

    Acosta is a news reporter, assigned to cover the president. Comparing him to hannity who admits he is not a reporter reflects how disingenuous your argument is.

    More media outlets begin questioning covering trump rallies. How soon before trump supporters complain that press is not covering trump...

    No, the complaint about Acosta is he is getting attention for asking the questions. Check out how many twitter followers he has.

    Besides, if it weren't Acosta it would be some other reporter. trump didn't ban Acosta.

    I really wonder if posters like @Commodore would ignore Obama labeling Fox News "the enemy of the people" as he expects rational people to do when our current President atatws the entire press as "the enemy of the people"and expects people to believe that is not a unhinged statement .

    I wonder if posters like him in Obama's hypothetical wouldn't label Obama as divisive and potentially sparking violence from that hypothetical statement.

    the only thing stupid is you trying to draw an equivalency b/t trump and sanders rhetoric towards the free press.

    hannity might be heckled at a sanders rally, but i highly doubt you would see the raw, triggered rage towards him that you see from trump supporters. i doubt hannity would need a police escort back to his vehicle like what has happened at trump rallies.

    does bernie sanders call the press "the enemy of the american people". does bernie sanders endlessly attack and insult the press at his rallies? does bernie sanders tell his supporters to beat up protesters and he will pay their legal fees? it starts with trump...his constant attacks on the free press get his brainwashed sycophantic supporters all riled up and have them lashing out. anyone who is not totally biased can see that.

    fox news "trashed" obama non-stop, but you didnt see obama supporters conducting themselves like trump supporters are doing. to try and compare them is as you say, "stupid".

    So is this from leftwing fake news media? No... Kurt Bardella is an NBC News THINK contributor and a former spokesperson for Reps. Brian Bilbray, R-Calif., Darrell Issa, R-Calif., Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and Breitbart News.

    Kurt Bardella: Sarah Sanders' dishonest defense of Trump and his assault on the free press reaches a new low
    You know things are deteriorating when you are regurgitating conspiracy theories to justify your boss’s obsession with weakening the First Amendment.

    As much as I wish this would happen, we have already seen former trump admin members gets hired right away... and in this case, you know fox news would hire shs immediately when she leaves...
