TRUMP BLASTS MEDIA FOR REPORTING THINGS HE SAYS

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—The Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, tore into the media on Thursday for what he called its “extremely unfair practice” of reporting the things he says.

“I’ll say something at a rally and I look out and see all these TV cameras taking every word down,” Trump told Fox News’s Sean Hannity. “No one in politics has ever been subjected to this kind of treatment.”

“It’s unbelievable and, frankly, very unethical,” he added.

At a rally in Florida, the candidate lashed out at a TV cameraman whom he caught in the act of recording his words for broadcasting purposes. “Look at him over there, picking up everything I’m saying, folks,” Trump shouted. “Get him out of here.”

...but it's getting harder and harder to come up with humor that overshadows the shit that Drumpf spews in real life.

rail against the fact that the "liberal media" was present and direct the crowd's anger at them. Probably the same rally where the old guy went off on media.

Not used to being questioned. How many have had bosses like him?
I had a boss who would order me to do some internet research of some idiotic thing that would pop in his mind. I would ignore it and he would never ask for any report. I just get right on it and then just blow it off.
I learned from experience if they do not write it down it is not going to happen. People have to many things going on to keep track of stuff unless you write it down.
