Wait until Conservatives cry outrage because the media didn't go after the so-called evil Democrat by the name of Obama. I won't lie though: the media has been particularly hard on Trump (their reporting isn't wrong; just bias and negative). But Trump hires some of the worst people. My god, they suck.

Did I just did a Guath line? That boi (gurl?) is making me bring out my dark side.


Are you kidding? The media has been spectacularly lenient on Trump.

Expecting Hedieh Ghaffarian to resign seems a little excessive.

Having it come out right now that Acosta pushed to slash funding for prosecution of child sex trafficking did not help either.

Trump's social media summit was a thorough shambles.

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4527 ... ose-garden

Trump made some remarks, left without taking questions from the press, and former White House aide Sebastien Gorka tried to pick a fight with Playboy correspondent(?!) Brian Karem while Trump's invited supporters heckled the press.

And somehow they're the heroes and their behavior is totally acceptable while the other side is supposed to be civil. Ah, the contradictions of America. But this is concerning: we have a President that basically views the freedom of press/speech as "well, only things that are good about me, okay. Bad, not allowed." Eh, scary times.

A bit partisan if you ask me. Good support on sexual liberalisation, true, but in economics they support tariffs and Trump's tax policy.

Whatever fucks them the hardest.

If you can't grasp why the constant attack on journalism, which has already led to attacks, bomb packages and threats, spurred on by the president of the united states is a dangerous thing, I don't know what to tell you, man.

Just pretend it was Obama doing it instead of Trump, or something.

Ah, Trump is attacking Paul Ryan now, again...

This is due to Ryan criticizing Trump after giving his account in a new book from a Politico Writer, which is coming out called American Carnage.

Hillary Clinton underestimated how easy it is to bait Donnie. I can't help but wonder if the Iranians realized this as well.

True. You have to balance risk and gains.

What are the gains?
