Media upset that Trump supporters don't like them.

WHEN YOU BELITTLE AND EMBARRASS PEOPLE, AND DISTORT THE TRUTH, THEY WILL NOT LIKE YOU.

MEDIA MAY NEVER REGAIN THEIR CREDIBILITY

We now hear much angst, by Jim Acosta of CNN for one, that the Trump supporters just don't respect them or like them. This of course, is because Trump has been pushing back and calling them fake news and other things they don't like. They state that they are the 4th estate, that they are providing a public service by keeping politicians accountable. Conservative politicians mostly. 

I watch a lot of speeches and 6 news channels for their take on stories, MSNBC is the most biased, all out hate Trump network . CNN has moments of objectivity, but most of their contributors hate Trump and despise the people who support him and his policies, Fox news reports are pretty objective, most of the opinion shows are biased toward Trump. One America News is interesting that they cover other stories not covered by the regular media, Newsmax  is a conservative leaning network.  RT is interesting in that it also has stories not covered by the mainstream press. It goes from socialist leaning to conservative, and has some different points of view. Free speech TV, is a Marxist network.

It all started when Trump, who I did not support at the time,  came down the elevator and stated his policy on illegal immigration. The media often misquoted him by removing the illegal part. He was immediately labeled a xenophobe and racist. I watched all his speeches, and saw the numerous and often misquotes and subtle removing or adding a word or two to change what was said. This became the norm with the media. 

Some in the media made the mistake of giving Trump as much air time as he wanted, because they thought they could trap him and distort him and they also believed that most Americans thought like them. When it did not work, they not only labeled Trump as a racist, xenophobe, a white supremacist,  Nazi, authoritarian or whatever they could think of, but also labeled his supporters in the same manner.

Anyone who has been around watching the news for 4 decades remember how they badgered and attacked Reagan, Bush, or other republicans, while  Covering for the Clinton's and Obama. They are now applauding Trump for not taking it and dishing it back. Now the media claims Trump is restricting the first Amendment. That they should be above criticism as they are the protectors of the people. Everyone believes in the first amendment, we all have first amendment rights, not just the press. No one would criticize the press for objectively reporting the news. There of course, can be a difference of opinion on the direction of the policy of the country. We are way beyond that today.

When you see reporters, at the meeting with Russia, ask the Russian president if he has damaging information on our president. When you see a reporter ask the President at a news conference,  with the trade negotiator of the EU, how he feels about Cohen's tape. These are not questions in search of  a answer, they are questions meant to embarrass and humiliate on the world stage. Those reporters should never be allowed to ask a question again. Not by rule, but by effect. If they really represented a real news organization, they would have been fired.

So now we hear they are concerned that there are angry Trump supporters who don't like the media. We have watched and listened to them, attack, humiliate, embarrass poor Sarah Sanders, every day in an effort to force her to quit. They have intentionally degraded the members of Trump's administration to resign or criticize the president, so the press could affirm their perceptions. Trump and his supporters have had enough! The press is our enemy! They have made it this way. The media has become a weapon of the opposition. You reap what you sow. We all support an objective reporting of the news, all the news, not just what some believe the people should see.  And not with a political agenda.
