Media disrespectful

I had thought the national media would learn their lesson after the debacle of a job they did “reporting” on the presidential campaign, but no, they have not relented on President Trump. Maybe for a week the media took a breather and were sheepish as they should be, then they have been right back at their hateful, rude and disrespectful slant on President Trump. Never have I seen a sitting president treated so disdainfully and even outright calling him a liar.

Case in point is the Feb. 16 news conference. President Trump needs no one to take up for him or defend him; he does that very well on his own! Thankfully, he let the national media know where they stand and how he will “deal” with them. I would have bet the farm that the main “news” the media would lead with would be President Trump’s attack on the media, and sure enough, that was their take on it. No one cares what the media thinks about being “attacked” nor, sad to say, what they think. The media are so full of themselves and so out of step with reality.

President Trump hit the nail on the head and described the media’s attitude and reporting on him very accurately. He said he could not believe the anger and hatred displayed, and noted, “The public doesn’t believe you people anymore.” How true. Our forefathers are turning in their graves as they see what freedom of the press has come to mean. Trump added, “I see [the] tone” of the reporting, and that, too, is exactly correct. We all see the unfairness.

My advice to those bigwig media of CNN, the Washington Post, New York Times, et al.: Grow up. Start acting like the professionals we used to know. You screwed up on your reporting on the campaign. Do your job. Treat this administration fairly. Give it a chance. Don’t keep beating your dead horse. Display some American pride and hope. Don’t keep trying to tear us down. We have had enough politicians in recent years doing this. SHERRY SNOW
