Because they consistently make stuff up and lie?  Nah, that couldn't be the reason.

Why Trump is attacking the press?

Simply put, he is programming his followers. He knows them well.

If, and when, Mueller comes out with his report and it implicates Donald Trump, he will argue that it is just another example of "fake" news. Nobody can believe anything from the mainstream media.

And his base will believe him. They will not believe any thing from Mueller.

And so long as he has his base, the Republican Party will never lift a finger to do anything about it. He is in the White House for as long as he likes, so long as the Republicans are in charge.

That is why he is attacking the press at this time.


If and when . . LOL!

I don't even know where to start with that one.  kentuck is obviously drunk posting.

However, this whole NBC vs. Trump got me thinking...

Quote
“Attacking the news media is a time-honored White House tactic,” says media critic Brian Stelter, but “to an unusual degree,” this administration has “narrowed its sights to one specific organization,” which it has deemed “part of the political opposition.”

Stelter quotes a top White House staffer: “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” she says. “We don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”

Stelter didn’t write those words about President Donald Trump, and the rogue media organization isn’t Stelter’s current employer, CNN. Nor is the White House aide defending the strategy of open hostility from Sarah Huckabee Sanders or Kellyanne Conway.  Stelter wrote those words in 2009, for The New York Times...

Jumping to conclusions, aren't you Kentuck?  There has never been an exact crime even alleged.  Lots of rampant speculation and fantasy, but ZERO evidence.

Yet another example of the Dump denizens thinking they are providing insightful analysis, not realizing that it is both specious AND at the 3rd grade level.

Why Trump is attacking the press?

Simple. Unlike most Rs, Trump defends himself. And unlike almost all Rs, Trump counter-attacks.

That the media can't be trusted has nothing to do with Trump. They dug that hole all by themselves by lying to us for decades. Stop being a special brand of stupid for just one second of your life, bluegrass primitive.

Because they made a decision... and in the case of the NYT they published it.... to take him down?

President Trump is not your ordinary republican. He is not going to sit there and take it. The MSM in their frenzy to take him down have proven that they are biased. In the long run, no attack on any GOP politician will be viewed the same as it was before.

The President is playing these idiots and beating them at their own game... and they are too blinded by liberal bias to even see it.

They think they are taking him down and the reality is he is taking them down.  I love it.
