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.
“What was striking," Alexander said, was that "President Trump, again, called on a series of more conservative leaning news organizations which didn’t allow for any real questions, trying to zero in on this issue of Mike Flynn, the now former national security advisor."
We can't speak for Trump, but one reason he may not be in a rush to give MSNBC more airtime is that they seem intent on using it to liken him to Adolf Hitler.
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.
CNN reporters were likewise angry at not being called on during today's Trump presser.
"In the last three news conferences, Wolf, all of the questions to the American news media have been handled by conservative press, and I think, Wolf, there’s no other way to describe it but the fix is in," CNN's Jim Acosta vented during a post-press conference interview with Wolf Blitzer.

The media has not yet learned that they can get much further with honey.
ReplyDeleteThey have gotten what they deserve, total shut out.
I don't know what the big deal is outside of ego. It doesn't matter whether the reporter called on was conservative, liberal, or even black. A question was asked and answered for all to hear. Everyone in the press conference heard it and can report on it. If a liberal reporter wanted to report something that was not said, that's fake news. Who needs more of that?
ReplyDeleteWhere is Jimmy Steward when you need him?
Like the tough questions you asked 0bama you butt wipe?
ReplyDeleteWhat goes around comes around
ReplyDeleteThey campaigned for Hillary so that proves their fake news.
ReplyDeleteIf they want to ask Pres. Trump a question, why are they in the room with a guy they call Hitler? Mr. Trump might be out in the hall, kids, try going there.
ReplyDeleteTrump smacked their ace on national TV today and it was great!!
ReplyDeleteREALLY great.
The media, offended and hurt, ADMITTED after the election, that they were in the tank for hillary.
They promised to change and do "fair" reporting. Right.
Just watch ANY "news" show in the morning. Except for Fox News, their entire agenda is attacking Trump, ridiculing his policies, and smearing him at every chance. Don't forget the openly stated liberal plan to disrupt him at every turn and create as much havoc as possible.
The news media has been shown to be a group of editorialists, NOT journalists. Start trying to ask some REAL questions and quit trying to be the next guy on CNN with a "gotcha" question, or a question that isn't designed to illuminate, but to embarrass him.
I hope he continues to smack them across their face every chance he gets.
ReplyDeleteIIRC the President-Elect had the bigwigs from MSM visit with him after the election. Guess they didn't take good notes.
