Which I cannot help but find hilarious!

because I fear they will be back in bed with him soon enough.

and keep coming back for more.

I'm not at all impressed with two days devoted to payback on one minor issue for dissing them.

Minor? Yes. NOBODY believes he actually has rejected birtherism. Nothing has changed.

A media observer pointed out that print media are doing better, but cable is still holding up their cups to be pissed in, saying please sir may I have more? After all, they still have long hours to fill with the viewership their customers pay for.

He can't be trusted...at all...period.

And his supporters think he wouldn't screw over US national security for his own business interests?

His diehard supporters are pissed, whether that's rational or not, whether the choice of targets is rational or not.

Trump is the guy who supports their prejudices and tells them they're great.

Logic doesn't work. Positive emotion doesn't work. Appeals from people who don't echo their prejudices don't work.

I really think they're unreachable by the good guys.

He makes them feel good about their irrational fears and hatred.

poor fools, not understanding that he is literally incapable of caring about them.

I agree that they are unreachable. It would literally require counseling.

How stupid do you and the rest of the press corps have to be to have not realized sooner that all of you are Trump's bitch?

And quit showing up at these events?

He has been the only correspondent who has actually been calling out Trump. It may have been subdued but his disgust has been palpable.

On msnbc?

He calls tRump a liar.

Too bad he hasn't been able to convince his fellow correspondents.

are they going to be fooled to go for that football, lol

meets Groundhog Day

More people watch network news than cable news. This is a big effing deal.

numbers stay strong. What the fuckity fuck fuck fuck is the matter with everybody?

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING REALITY SHOW, PEOPLE. WAKE THE HELL UP!

If we don't stop this tangerine-colored shit stain on society, it will take decades to repair the damage--if humans will still be here to repair things. He doesn't believe in climate change, views foreign policy like a reality show, video game, or Rambo movie, and wants to privatize everything, all the while getting stinking, filthy rich.

It's fucking terrifying.

after trump has had a good day or gotten even a single poll closer. Anxiety and nightmares. He's dangerous.

It just is complete, knowing and willing jackassery to support or excuse a man who is an OUT AND OUT, not even trying to hide it, con man, running for POTUS.

I've been a member of DU since 2002 & still haven't cracked 8,000, lol.

Post count is getting a bump this election, venting over the absurdity of the people in this country.

Hits the folks who watch the local news, national news then the shows afterward. A lot of people don't swap at least the news stations. They hit one channel then stick to it.

Does the 5:00 news have the most complete coverage? I really don't tune in much anymore.

I tried checking with xxx line up.
ABC only showed world at 6:30pm cst
NBC 5:30 pm cst
CBS didn't show anything other then the prime time shows

I guess I'll pick one for each network and see what they report. I would love to know the general public is being offered some real truths.

If elected, could Trump be trusted to put America's interest first before his business interests? He answered that today.

from the fiasco today. We need to get that succinct comment out there.

My goodness, he put his hotel promotion above his campaign. Why would he give a shit about anyone if money is the most important thing to him?

Blitzer just showed the birth announcement in the Honolulu paper. The asshole is going down in flames, flames I tell you.

IMHO, this will have no effect on Trump's diehard supporters.

Guess he had enough of being punked.

This is Trump's whole campaign. Garrett sounds surprised. Really!?

"So let's just call it what it izzzzzz"

they will back to their old selves promoting him like mad because he is "good for ratings".

to get fed up with the stress of covering this lying asshole and report what they think.

He hasn't been pulling any punches for a while. I count her as being more honest about Trump than most.

I no longer trust any US corporate run news media outlet, period. If I want to watch crap I can just visit the local sewage treatment facility for free.

This may be the major blunder of the campaign on either side. You do NOT hoodwink and scam the people who are supposed to be reporting on your activities day in and day out.

The "event" this morning just demonstrated first hand for the media just what a scam artist and fraud Trump is.

I love it!

is a complete fraudster.

is getting tired of Don. He was funny, then he was a cash cow, but the novelty is wearing off and I think they've milked about us much of the cash cow as possible. I predict significant parts of the media are going to begin "the turn" on Donald and it's not going to be pretty for him.

Not because I think highly of the media or think they've regained what makes them important, but simply because they've had their fun, and his usefulness is about to expire and even they realize this fucker cannot be President.

So they are pissed. All the other lies and outrages didnt matter to them. But, this is personal.

Yes, I guess you would be angry when you realize what a dumbass you have been.

More journalists need to hold Mr. Trump accountable, follow up and press him on promises he makes.

Doesn't make up - to my mind at least - for all the months of false equivalency and nit picking of Hillary. Not impressed.

However, the OP suggested that Donald Trump's promotional event posing as a press conference may be a significant turning point. If the press collectively feel that they've been abused, it's possible that there will be greater scrutiny in their coverage of Mr. Trump.

If this is true, the timing could be excellent as there are less than two months to the election. If the press begins to really ask hard questions and demand real answers, Mr. Trump will be in for a lot of push-back at an increasing tempo. There will be less and less time - and column inches- for any positive stories about Mr. Trump.

This could be a thing of beauty and just what many of us have been waiting for.

hope the press does undergo an epiphany, but I was underwhelmed by the testimony of that particular congregant.

Want to keep this for posterity.

How many "moments" that this jackass pushes things too far have we seen already?

If it burns him and stops his momentum a bit for the moment, great.

But, history indicates that there is little chance this will be the moment everyone WTF up and deals with him like they should.

PARTICULARLY the media, like this is the FIRST time he has made them out to be she dogs?

language from the media who got completely scammed by the Trumpster and end up looking like the fools they are. I would be slamming this despicable boy for what he did to me.

Trump revealed how he will use the United States. Like those standing behind him, we will be a backdrop for self-promotion. Setting aside the inadequate comments he made, a particularly cowardly aspect of this event was his failure to stand alone, as if to suggest his actions were those of a patriot.

I'd feel like a clown, almost as if Drumpf was parading his supporters and brainwashed stooges as backdrops to his hotel infomercial.

Want to turn the screws on Trump? Keep pressing him on meeting Meredith McIver face-to-face. Watch him mumble and turn away with a scared look on his face.

It's guaranteed to rocket any station's ratings into the stratosphere!

press off something and on to something else. When the Kahn story took center stage he manufactured this big story that he wouldn't endorse McCain - and let that stew a while - only to do it a week later.

Great editorial in DMN yesterday - bottom line saying press doesn't know what to do. Typically, a politician will apologize for a faux pas. Not Trump - he's like a steam roller, spewing a couple lies a day and they are just piling up. And the press can't keep up. #epicfail

for one of his properties." !!!

Good, you are!

'believe me' to the end of his sentences and the Trump Kkklan and the media will eat it up. Donald always adds 'believe me' to the end of his sentences, and not a 'period'.

Wake the hell up.

You can see a slow change in the tide here. I'm guessing they'll want to get out front and look like the ones that are trying to be legit.

Their masks have been pulled off and now they need to save face. Should be interesting to see the media wars the next few months.

Cronkite cratered support for the Vietnam War when he went over there and saw we had been lied to. He then came back and delivered a "Special Comment" at the end of one night's news and said it as clear we were in an unwinnable morass.

It's a different day but still news outlets need to call a spade a spade and a lie a lie.
