Given that the media is trying to destroy Trump, he should have a 0% approval rating by now

[rightwinger]

Nixon, Reagan, Bush 41, Bush 43, Trump
All complained the media was against them
Yet they still manage to get elected. Mustn't be working

And they were correct, every one of them.

The lesson to be learned, here, is that the news media is not as powerful nor as important as it wishes that it was, or that it imagines itself as being. If it was, then none of those men would have ever been elected President.

The lesson to be learned is Republicans need to stop being snowflakes.
Take your medicine and be responsible for your actions

So he's doing pretty good, all things considered.

The number 1 cable news network in America has spent the last 8 years bashing Obama and is now praising Trump. The majority of talk radio demonizes the Left and props up the Right. I'd say there is weight being tossed around in both directions. Either way the media is full of shit and has been for years. I don't think many people trust them, its turned into an entertainment industry motivated by ratings.

Indeed. You have one channel (Fox News) and AM radio against all other major media outlets.

So during this coverage of Trump, to which they dedicated 54 percent of their time, did they treat him fairly? Not only did Trump enjoy no "media honeymoon" afforded most new presidents, he was regularly raked across the coals with what MRC calculates is a stunning 88 percent of negative coverage. (By the way that abysmal 88 percent is actually 3 percent better than the 91 percent negative coverage of Trump MRC calculated during the election.)

Study: How Biased is the Media Against Trump? EXTREMELY Biased.

It's not rocket science... Trump is a bully who likes to talk shit. That envokes a visceral reaction in many people and motivates them to try and put him in his place. On top of that he moves from controversy to controversy so they have plenty of ammo. You can't honestly say that the anti Trump movement is unprovoked

Some of it is, most of it isn't. The MSM is nothing more than an extension of the Democrat party. If Trump didn't say a word about the media, they would not be treating him that much different today with the things he did say about them.

Trump is an outsider and that's what has people most upset including the media.

 

[leftwinger]

The RINO, Ryan.......many republicans are against Trump also. Along with govt workers, MSM.......etc. amazingly he is plowing through.

Taxpayers firmly backTrump policies. But Ryan is not getting it done fast enough. He could piece-meal some easy things? Baby steps....if too corrupt or lazy to get BIG items moving.

I don't believe that. Ross Perot was an outsider business guy and he didn't get the same treatment as Trump. Our president is an antagonist, he always has been. He loves causing controversy and picking public fights. I'm not saying that as an attack, that's just fact, and it's the reason for the backlash we are seeing in both the public and the media

You guys picked him

Pelosi got things done......why can't Ryan or Boehner?

The only time they gave Bush a break is when he did liberal things like create Medicare part D, and even then, some of them gave Bush a hard time. The media went so far as to keep a daily body count of US solders who perished in Iraq and Afghanistan. When did they ever do that while DumBama was President?

Trump didn't pick a fight with the media, he just decided unlike others, he's not going to take their BS.

Hillary was a horrible candidate and Trump barely beat her, less than 100k votes I believe is what seperated the electoral map. I'd bet that if the election occurred again, those who sat on their hands for Hillary would come out in droves and it wouldn't even be close. Unfortunately, it would still mean we have a shitty president

The media failed miserably to question Bush's rationale for needing to invade Iraq

Hard to forget the daily conference calls with the media and the special sessions at podestas' house. the fix was in. They don't report the news, they reported it how the Beast camp wanted it. Truly disgusting state-media.

If I turn the TV channel and I see some faces.....cannot watch. Almost 100% chased out of TV due to corruption. I used to think Nora Odenell and Chris Jansing HOT and Alex Witt (bottom row on pic)?

These two genius had a pre-election "sit-down" with Trump and savagely attacked with scowls on face. Never forget. The day I quit Bloomberg finance channel. Not much left for me.

Trump even soldiered through that entire "interview". I would have tossed a buffet table.
