AFTER LIKENING TRUMP TO HITLER, JOURNALISTS UPSET THEY'RE NOT GETTING CALLED ON FOR QUESTIONS

Members of the mainstream media were left fuming this afternoon after President Trump refused to call on any of their organizations for the third straight press conference.

Yet many of these same news organizations have likened Trump to the Taliban and Adolf Hitler, floated false rumors about his use of a Russian prostitute, and accused his administration of being pro-slavery.

After Trump avoided calling on MSNBC during today's presser with Benjamin Netanyahu, MSNBC’s Peter Alexander complained that the conservative journalists he did call on didn’t ask “real questions” like he would have.
...
On Trump's Inauguration Day, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow likened Trump's election to "Hitler's rise." Her colleague Chris Matthews described Trump's inaugural address as "Hitlerian." Matthews also mocked Trump's family, likening them to the Russian imperial family, the Romanovs. He's so fond of this metaphor he now uses it all the time.
...
Trump himself explained his frustration in an earlier press conference, when he noted that CNN ran a report about a rumor -- since discredited -- that he had used the services of a prostitute during a trip to Moscow. Trump even complimented The New York Times for passing on the story. CNN has since stuck by its decision to publish the uncorroborated report.
...
What might Trump have against ABC? Well, Dowd himself has accused Trump of pushing legislation that plays to the racial “fears” of his base. On ABC's political show, "The View," hosts have likened Trump to the Taliban, claimed his administration wants to bring back slavery, and said his approach to the media mirrors a dictatorship.

Lying has consequences. I guess modern "journalists' parents forgot to teach them that.

For years Obama ignored Fox News but often complained about them. Turnabout is fair play.

Mainstream Media Reporters Frustrated Trump Not Calling on Them at Press Conferences

Trump called on two reporters at the press conference: someone from the Christian Broadcasting Network and Katie Pavlich from Townhall.com. This only made the frustration worse for reporters who complained that Trump is only calling on conservative-leaning networks.

    One way to avoid hard questions on Trump admin #Russia ties? Call on CBN & a conservative website.

    Trump has called on ONLY conservative outlets in his last 3 joint press conferences.

    So — the two reporters called on today: Christian Broadcasting Network and Town Hall. No question on Trump/Russia contacts.
