What the media wants is for Trump to agree to a unilateral cease fire in the war they have been fighting against him

Ann Althouse:

The "calls for him to cool his overheated rhetoric" are what I've been calling "civility bullshit" for years. It's always only aimed at the other side. They want you to stop fighting them with vigor, and they have no intention of stopping fighting you. Trump obviously know this and can't be played. You might think just this once — because 11 people were massacred — he'd go presidential, bow his head, and sing "Amazing Grace," but his opponents didn't refrain from closing right in on him and kicking him, and he kicks back.
Because Trump fights back many in the media have escalated their rhetorical attacks against him.  What this has done has harmed what credibility the media has left.  It is why so many have tuned them out.  What Trump supporters like is the fact that he refuses to be a stoic punching bag for the media and keeps fighting back.

The media started this fight by deciding early on that they did not have to be fair to Trump as a candidate and as a President.  They keep escalating their rhetoric thinking it will cause him to back down, but he meets them blow for blow.   Now they are blaming him for violence while ignoring that most of the violence since his election has come from the left.

Trump knows the media hates him and his policies and they are not going to treat him fairly.  That he responds in kind to them seems to have them flustered.

Here are some recent examples of the hyperbole coming from the mainstream media filled with bogus comparisons of Trump to Hitler and to ISIS.
