    And sadly, I think a few of our AM friends have as well.

    Absolutely. To the point they will never praise any accomplishments that help our country. There’s also some media outlets that will not criticize him and act as if he can do no wrong.

    Trump thinks he never does anything wrong and  thinks nothing he does or says should ever be criticized;  it's maybe just hard to like someone like that more so than hating the person. 

    He has taken advantage of his 'power' position to  secure revenge against some probably only because they offered a critical viewpoint some of the things he has said and done.

    Trump's behavior can give one the impression that he is not so much of a mature person. "Not presidential material" according to ex prez Obama.  Think why would Obama make that remark.

    That may well be, but my point is that some media outlets are so caught up with hating him that they are no longer objective - which, after all, is their primary job - viewing everything he does through a biased lens to the extent that they never allow themselves to think he does anything right.

    Ok, i've never seen any media that have been unreasonable in their negative views toward Mr Trump. 
    Maybe Pearl Jam poster is one example I haven't missed.

    Do you read the NY Times and/or watch MSNBC, just to name two? It's not difficult to see.

    Haven't had a TV for years and NY Times may not be readily available where I live. I subscribe to Quora.com where some of the comments are near the point that could amount to hate sometimes. Nothing too serious though I don't think. I've  just kind of ignored the hate stuff.

    The Times doesn't need to be physically available in print form.

    They are doing what attracts viewers. It is their viewers that are addicted.

    But Fox beats every news network in ratings....so not what the majority of viewers want to see.

    Pro-Trump viewers just have fewer choices. If you combine the viewers of MSNBC and CNN they outnumber Fox viewers.  All media outlets pander to their viewership, including Fox, MSNBC and CNN.

    Not to mention those who get their news from social media and online platforms...

    Surely some have, just as the inverse is true of others.

    We should make a point to discern between criticism and hate, as well as between honest praise and blind worship. This post was edited by Don Barzini at August 19, 2018 7:47 PM MDT

    Definitely. When everything the President does is going to bring about the end of the world...either through war or climate or turning the US into a dictatorship) And if something good happens they try to credit Obama.

    To the extent that hate can be a narcotic.   Is not for me but I guess for some people.  They engage in systematic campaigns to excoriate, discredit,  impugn, and convict.  Nothing is too personal or too obscure for them to use in such efforts.  The Boston Globe is one of them.

    As far as I can tell, the media just wants the public to know what this arsehole is all about. So far, the reputable media outlets haven't lied about one thing. Although, I wouldn't add Fox "NEWS" to that list. I don't care how much reporting they do. As long as it's true. This post was edited by Zack at August 19, 2018 7:51 PM MDT

    The bias obviously affects you as well.

    I've learned enough about you to never, ever engage you. What that means is that you are right and everyone else is wrong. Don't expect anything else from me after what I've just typed. TA TA!!!!!
