Help him.
A recent study by Morning Consult found that the majority of the people find the major media outlets are credible. At the top, ABC News was found credible by 67%, CBS by 65%, Tthe New York Times by 63% and CNN by 60% of the public.
Every time he responds to a controversial item, he fuels the fire to ensure that it continues. Every time he responds via social media he provides them more ammunition. Sometimes silence really is golden.
I actually agree with you. They both benefit. Those on the left love it when the media, whether factual, fair, balanced or not, goes after Trump (I just read a Politico article on this very topic). And the Trump supporters and independents love it when Trump goes after the media with a vengeance.
They both win. I think the NY Times and Wash Post subscriptions are up considerably. This means that this will likely continue until something dramatic causes it to change. I have no idea what that might be.
At the end of the day, Trump will win or lose reelection not based on this, but based on how well the country is doing.
Jeez, Two posts between the two of us without a hint of discord -- Donkeys and Pigs must be flying.
Lol
I heard last night something that I actually agree with. Laughter is the best medicine to bringing two ideologues together. That and being two West Virginia fans in the middle of Pitt fans.
Again ridiculous. They speak out plenty everytime a Republican is in the news. The press is just getting their fair share back this time, rather than playing nice.
Mad at what? Please clarify. I a little pissed at Esa Ahmad right now during this game
Trump is mad because the media exposed Stephen Miller for the really bizzare nut that he is. Trump is mad at the media because they have exposed his lack of intelligence, his fragile ego talking about the election three months after it is over, his inability to stay on topic, his talking in circles and the irrationality of having a rally only four weeks into your presidency.
Trump is a con man and gets angry at anyone who exposes him. It was the CIA a few weeks ago and now it's the entire intelligence community.

Biff doesn't like being under a microscope. This isn't the Biff Tower anymore.
Interesting you dismiss rasmussen when you dont like their polling but quote them when they do.
This is all that matters. Fix the Economy, and the Media has nothing else to say or complain about Trump
Jobs, jobs, jobs.
If Folks have plenty of good paying jobs, they won't be listening to anything in the Media, they'll be out earning and spending more of their own money.
Who cares about the Damn Media carping and yelping like a bunch of ankle biter Mutts after that?
Then, here comes Dave with some facts. Will it shut MOE up? Never has. Moe has no conscious.
Only quoting you dave, you shot down another approval poll you didn't like and said Rasmussen was the only credible poll, so here it is.
This is a silly argument. Trump is hated by his detractors who get polled by firms trying to prove how much he's hated, and he's loved by his supporters who get polled by those firms trying to prove how strong his support is.
However, the only poll that is going to matter for Trump is the economic poll...
"Do you have or can you get the type of job you want, and is that job paying you what you want or need"?
If the answer to both of those questions is a firm "yes", no other poll for Trump will matter.
Period.
He gets re-elected in a landslide, and the Left's carping about him will be virtually ignored except among their Socialist income redistributionist types. But even they will be happy with the increased donations from folks who will have more money to spend or waste on their misguided causes.
"Fake news"....is different than calling out bias. "Enemy of the people"....is different than saying stories are misleading.
Wrong. I merely pointed out how the stats can be skewed depending on where you conduct your polling. I'm not a zealot, I'm pretty centrist actuallyz
Calling mainstream news fake is no different than calling out bias. They fail to admit/correct their bias, therefore they are fake news... And it shows in their approval ratings.
Lying or making untrue stories or facts out to be such is worse than actual reporting what the facts or the Truth is.
What is a "sanctuary city"? Why isn't is reported as what it is or what it's there for? Why is "racism" only ascribed to White people?
What is the actual unemployment rate? Why is it not reported correctly, especially among Black teenagers?
What is true "poverty"?
Why are those who live in relative luxury while still collecting public assistance for housing, food, & their medical insurance among other publicly funded benefits designed to assist the truly financially indigent never reported as being fraudulent?
What is Government malfeasance and outright incompetence?
Why is it not rooted out and exposed on an almost daily and near universal occurrence across all agencies regularly wasting taxpayer funding?
Is it laziness, incompetence, bias, disrespect for the audience, arrogance, irrational allegiance to a Leftist pro-Government agenda, or all of these?
Not reporting on the overwhelming support among Black communities for school choice vouchers is "fake news". The Media always portrays supporters of school vouchers as "racists" who want to destroy Public schools for minority kids, and take money away from them in order to give it to rich White communities.
THAT is "fake news".
There are many, many more examples.
Your own words dave, I think hypocrisy and dishonesty apply to you in this instance.
My words regarding presidential approval polls. Thanks for not even trying to be honest.
Rasmussen is really the only one you can trust, everyone else was so far off with the election and how they weight their variables. Rasmussen has been doing it for 20 years and it was almost the same as the other two major approval rate polls during the entire Obama presidency. Plus rasmussen has not changed their methodology, while Pew and Gallup both have.
Oh, so Rasmussen is only good for one topic, one that supports your viewpoint. When they don't support your viewpoint it is hypocritical and dishonest. Thanks for clearing that up and your "honesty".[laughing]
Keep putting words in my mouth. I understand why people do it but don't think I won't call you out for it.
You are taking words from a completely different conversation and applying them to this topic. Its dishonest and typical. To add to that, I did not say Rasmussen was not good if I didn't agree with them, nor did I say that I disagreed with them on this topic. I pointed out correctly that you were dismissing Rasmussen about Presidential approval ratings and going with RCP average, until this topic when you want to throw up Rasmussen because you liked the results of the poll. I never said ti was bad or wrong, I call you out. Since then you have put a lot of words in my mouth that I never said. Period.
So you made a blanket statement that Rasmussen was the only polling company to be trusted, even using a different polling example in your comparison (election polling vs. approval rating), and stating that Pew and Gallup had changed methodology.

Then when a Rasmussen poll did not support your viewpoint you claimed that I was hypocritical and dishonest for bringing it up and now claim that reminding you of your previous statement is again dishonest; even though your original statement mixed topics to prove your point. Have I got that right?
