It will be interesting to see the Conservative local media endorsements this fall. And it was Bush’s White House that gave credentials to the internet journalist no one had heard of so he could ask soft ball, leading questions.
First, al-Jazeera America went out of business, probably because too many cable systems were afraid to carry them; Second, the “journalist” admitted to the bush White House hundreds of times when there were no press briefings was a male prostitute. His website said he was ex-military and a “top”. We always wondered who he was servicing. Any ideas, Karl?
Please define “THE MEDIA”. Apparently Fox, most local major dailies, ALL Fox local affiliates who carry the Rush, Beck, Hannity, Savage, Levin lineup AREN’T the media? Of COURSE not! They only spout a one-party, part of one party line, so they CAN’T be THE MEDIA!

The media gave Trump 1.2 Billion bucks in free press and he doesn’t think it’s enough. The press is like battered wives.

If you think Trump feels contempt for the media, how do you think he views the American people?

On election day, I’m wondering how long before the liberal media declares that Hillary has a massive lead? Will they wait until the polls open?
