Media loves to be a critic of Trump, but can't take the counterpunches
NY Times:
The media mostly coddled Obama and even defended his lies to pass a much hated health care law. They seem to think it was OK for Obama to use the IRS to attack political opponents. Fast and Furious, a scheme to provide weapons to the Mexican cartel was just a good old liberal attempt to use the media to get gun control legislation and thwart the 2nd Amendment. Now Obama brags about not having anyone in his adminsitration indicted, but that was just because Holder would not allow it. If Hillary Clinton had been anyone besides the Democrat nominee she would have been indicted for mishandling classified material and for the obstruction of justice by destroying subpoenaed material.
The lack of self-awarenss by the media and their double standard is one of the reasons why Trump supporters are glad the media is being held to account for unfair attacks.
He was at it again.What the media would like is that Trump be a stoic punching bag for their attacks. Make no mistake the media has attacked him with some of the most vicious and unfair stories in an attempt to get him removed from office and now they whine that he fights back. They seem to think it is unfair for him to push back against their bias. Because they are mostly liberals who hated him before he was attacking them they may not even be self aware of their tendancy to blame him for the acts of others.
At 3:14 a.m. on Friday, President Trump was awake and tweeting.
“Funny how lowly rated CNN, and others, can criticize me at will, even blaming me for the current spate of Bombs and ridiculously comparing this to September 11th and the Oklahoma City bombing,” he wrote, “yet when I criticize them they go wild and scream, ‘it’s just not Presidential!’”
He tapped that one out as federal authorities were investigating the 12 pipe bombs mailed to the billionaire George Soros, Democratic politicians, Robert De Niro and CNN. Hours later, Mr. Trump’s tweet was national news.
“President Blames Media For Attempted Bombs,” read the onscreen chyron on “Good Morning America” as an ABC News correspondent, Jonathan Karl, briefed the anchor George Stephanopoulos on the president’s latest digital sortie from the still-dark White House lawn.
So began Day 645 of a presidency that has made denigrating the news media one of its identifying features.
