Media now wetting its pants because Trump boarded Air Force One without waving to them

The fall of the Fourth Estate.
When we look back and try to identify the day the media's fall became irreversible . . . I always thought it would be difficult to top Wolf Blitzer asking debate participants to play "This or That," but CBS's Mark Knoller and several others may have made today the moment that could never be topped:
Pres Trump boards Air Force One, but doesn't turn around to wave - as presidents have done for decades.
You know, I've been a reporter standing around, bored, waiting for something to happen. And then when something happens, it's not much of something and it doesn't leave you with much to say. And you feel like you need to reportsomething after all the time you stood there.
I get all this.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't think twice before confirming that you've become a caricature of yourself, and the media wetting itself over this is sure pushing us right to the edge of that cliff.

The era of "celebrity Presidents" is over. Trump has an agenda and wants to act on them ASAP.
He has no time for that nonsense - he's all business - and I, for one, find it incredibly refreshing.

Maybe he will invite a few of the press to ride on Air Force One, like Tucker Carlson, or Tomi Lehren

the media is a bunch of crybabies. they need to grow and try to catch up with the America people. they are clueless and this is an excellent example of that.

He could have mooned them, too, but he didn't.. :-)

Perhaps he would have waved if they hadn't been so slanted with their "reporting" previously? Just sayin'.

As a gesture of friendship couldn't he send them flannel PJs and some hot chocolate mix? Go, Mr. President, go!
