The Governor of Kentucky is taking a page from the Trump Playbook.
Like Governor Bevin or not, he is taking them to school Trump style.
The liberals are losing their mind. Ginning up all the usual talking points. I took to his FB page and thanked them all for their effort. Without all the whining, BS talking points, and whatnot, we would not continue gaining seats in the statehouse, as well as national seats. If you have FB, stroll over and kill them with kindness.

I'm glad to hear the governor point out the sensitivity of "journalists" to any sort of criticism directed their way, as if being employed to report makes one part of a sacred, secret fraternity. I've worked as a news photographer and I worked with some crusty old reporters from way back and they must be spinning in their graves.
I like the way Al Swearengen put it to the newspaperman Merrick in Deadwood, telling him that "...you owning a print press proves only you’ve an interest in the truth, meaning up to a fucking point—slightly more than us others maybe, but short of a fucking anointing or the shouldering of a sacred burden, unless of course the printing press was the gift of an angel. I’d want to be there for that handoff myself."

Telling it like it is, without notes or a teleprompter, especially at the end where opinions are being presented as news. Awesome.

What an outstanding beat-down of the media. Fantastic.

That was great. I know nothing of Gov. Bevin, but certainly would like to see honorable politicians (say WHAT?!?!) publicly, articulately chastising the media anytime they deserve it. I wish Trump were as articulate and concise as Bevin was in that clip.

Excellent; thanks for posting.
I seldom watch such videos, but this was well worth it. Hopefully the days of our elected officials’ being afraid to break the taboo against criticizing the news reporting businesses and their employees forcefully and overtly are starting to end. Those people have had it all their way for far too long, and only when people start standing up to them will some of us finally realize the fact.
