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.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
