"60% of the country that is actively antagonistic toward him"
I think the 24/7 media blitz telling TV watching football retards that Trump is the bad guy has something to do with that

You have already proven yourself to be a creepy, sad, pathetic weirdo. No need to remind us.
when trump runs the nation like its a reality show about the worlds most successful senile drug addict cult leader trying to empower the fourth reich, media's hands are kinda tied tho, no?

Would we really be any worse off it the media just acted impartially and didn't actively go after him all the time? Has anything positive come about from all this aggressive antagonism against him? I know you can make the argument everything the media said about him is true so they are justified in going after him. But I think the attitude has been a little too much of, "lets make things as bad as we can to show everyone what a big fuckup he is," and I think this has seriously damaged us.
I guess I don't hold him as accountable because I think he has a mental disorder and can't help himself. Maybe I am giving the average liberal too much credit too, and they suffer from Trump Derangement Sydrome so bad they can't control themselves any more than he can.
Yes, we’d be worse off. How many times has Trump said he doesn’t watch an MSNBC or CNN only to respond to them a week later? The reality is it drives him crazy that his bedrocks of support are the shitholes of the country.
Once elected, the best case scenario was for him to be mired in bullshit infighting and petty arguments which distract him from getting anything done. A year plus in, it’s been moderately successful. He got through a generic GOP tax plan and pretty much nothing else. Keeping him distracted fighting nonsensical battles is optimal for the country. He was going to be a massive embarrassment globally on a personal level regardless. Mocking him doesn’t change that, it simply keeps him chasing his tail seeking approval. Better that than getting involved in serious matters that are above his understanding.
The media figures aren’t practicing altruism for the betterment of the republic. They’re killing him for their own advancement and enrichment. He’s a once in a lifetime idiot that you can make your bones off of in an environment where news was dying. Kind of like the Nancy Graces and Greta Van Susterens of the world making careers off the OJ trial. That the media bashing him constantly helps is simply a fortunate break in that it keeps his anger and ire focused domestically rather than him exerting his insanity on a bigger stage.
i don't think think the media's "balanced" in their coverage of him or republicans generally, but that's always been the case. for sure, they won't give him any credit for the economy. the reality is that most people that get into journalism probably lean liberal.Would we really be any worse off it the media just acted impartially and didn't actively go after him all the time?

for the most part though, i think the media's criticisms of him are legitimate. i mean, assuming you're right in your assessment of trump's mental state, it's hard to sugarcoat the fact that we have a person with a mental disorder running the country. for example, should they have made his full-on retard statement that "there were lots of good people marching [with the KKK] in charlottesville" seem less full-on retard? should they have not covered or condemned it? i'm sure you see what i'm saying.
i think we're in a post-bipartisanship era anyway. the far left and far right will primary out politicians that even remotely act like they're willing to work with the other side.
the real irony of the trump era is that somehow pro football -- the sport that is the most manly, roughest and most drunken american pastime -- is somehow now associated with liberalism
so republicans only watch nascar now?
im not going to trot out words like coge here because this is actually such a fantastic gem of pure truthbombery that it demands real respect.

can someone find me a republican complaining about media bias who even questioned for a microsecond the validity of fox news' reporting about how obama is a kenyan muslim?

Let us not forget that our POTUS was also a very vocal "Birther"
I have and will concede again that Fox News is biased towards the GOP. This is plainly obvious and literally no thinking person has ever disputed it. Every other cable 'news' network is biased toward the DNC. We have had this exchange of thoughts in the past and I was disappointed to find out that you actually think CNN and MSNBC are non-biased sources without political agendas
They know how terrible it looks to selectively declassify only what they think will help them. They're going to force Trump to either release it or dig his own grave a little deeper.
HILLARY WON
They're also correct. The fact-based media are biased against Trump because reality is biased against Trump. He's a criminal and a dangerous authoritarian demagogue.
HILLARY WON
do you believe that Russia has a video tape of Trump getting pissed on by hookers, and that Trump has ceded control of our country to Russia because he doesn't want to get embarrassed by this tape coming out? That's what a lot of people seem to believe, I think it's retardedThey know how terrible it looks to selectively declassify only what they think will help them.

i think that a) you grossly overestimate how much time i spend watching cable news and b) you may be overstating my position, but given that the current political climate is "batshit insanity" vs "everything else literally", can you really hold me accountable for toeing a fairly polarizing line?
