As a fellow libertarian, do you think it possible that Trump is such a Washington outsider (and monkey wrench), that the media and Washington-entrenched want to take him out more than anyone, ever?

That's basically what I'm starting to believe.

I think the media is reveling in this more than people realize. He's making their job easy.

Think about it, they wake up daily knowing he's going to pop off about something silly, feud on twitter or generally act less sane than a homeless guy that yells at cars.

They couldn't ask for better content, you can't make this stuff up - people are tuning in 'bigly' just see what kind of bulls#ittery he's up to.

It's all they have. Trump hasn't given them any reason to bring up policy because he doesn't even know what he wants to do. So far, 1 month in, it's been about how the media is unfair. And the sad part is, they are slurping it up because they are unintelligent mouth breathers who take anything said by the guy as gospel.

That is why I like the forum. I can communicate by typing. It's hard to talk and breathe through my mouth at the same time.

I think it's all about the stupid words that come out of his mouth. Romney was basically a Washington outsider and he got painted by the media as an out of touch, elitist business man. That is exactly the treatment Trump would have received + reality TV jokes, except for the fact that Trump says completely ignorant things, all the time, every day...thus the current circus.

It will wear thin eventually.

And I think they're losing, so they should revel in whatever there is to revel in, I guess.

As pointed out, uncontrolled platforms are calling the media out right now and getting a FAR bigger viewership than they collectively get.

And I've been following Trump. A strange thing happens when you turn the tainted media monologue off... Trump doesn't sound crazy or unhinged at all.

He sounds like he's kicking ... and taking names.

I don't think the media has the power they used to for a coupe of reasons.

(1) People trust them less than they did 10-20-30 years ago.

(2) News and opinion has been democratized through blogs and social media. (Traditional media don't have the sole platform anymore.)

No question about that.

Many major news outlets have excelled by blurring he lines of news and opinion.

That's all the orange hair supporters have at this point. Simply deflect to Obama/Hillary/etc. It's all on orange hair now, he's allegedly been sent to us by God. And I think he has been sent to us by God above......as punishment.

"Orange hair supporters". What are you in 3rd grade?

The media is an extension of Dems/0bama/Crooked Hillary. They donated millions to him/her, they buried bad news against them, they make up #FakeNews to besmirched Trump. So yes Trump is fighting and winning against the Dems/Media

Don't be so defensive and get your panties out of their wad, I was agreeing with you.

Next time I will make more obvious and easy for you to identify by using the following key words, orange, tax returns, Russians and racist.

Are the deflections any more numerous or ridiculous now compared to Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter?

Then why did we spend the last 8 years listening to conservatives on here complaining about said deflection? You can't act all high and mighty and then turn around and do the exact same thing. That's call hypocrisy and it's childish.

You didn't listen to 8 years of it. It really started from the right about 2 years into Obama's first term when the administration was STILL blaming Bush for everything.

Here's a novel concept. Fix the ****ing country. Don't waste time *****ing about the media. Actually do something substantial that makes an impact for the good. Trump has this ability, but would rather rile up his base by *****ing about the media. The best way to shut the left up is to actually accomplish something that helps us.

My apologies. 6 years. Huge difference there.

Donald Trump is to the political media what Bobby Knight was to sports media. I'm waiting for him to pull out a crystal glass.

Hmmm. Hypocrisy is apparently only exhibited by conservatives I guess?

How many bills have congress sent to him to sign? Now I guess he could do a lot of fixing with executive orders but then you'd ***** about that.
