For the past two years, I have defended the press from President Donald Trump's criticism. Having worked at both CNN and Fox News, I know the good hard work so many reporters do to provide us with the news. We have a president who found a way out of going to Vietnam, and we have reporters who rush into war zones, risking their lives to provide accurate coverage of dangerous events.

And yet couldn't resist the opportunity to take a shot at Trump in the first paragraph.

Yeah, he's in the vicinity of a clue but his ridiculous prejudices prevent him from locating it.

But, hey, bright boy, just keep taking your little fucking shots and getting nowhere. Fucking genius.

Try opening your fucking eyes, nitwit.

Three and a half years, buddy boy. You are three and a half freaking years behind the times. You're a joke.

The MSM is at war with conservative America.

This may seem like a side bar, but why does Trump keep catching shit for not serving in the military? Clinton never served and neither did that great divider and asswipe Barack the phoney. Never heard a discouraging word about those worthless jokers.

Correct. Everything is editorial or straight opinion, neither of which I have any interest in.

I think it is very obvious that Trump catches shit for every single goddamn thing. I guarantee that every thing the media slams him on are things that Democrats have done prior.

It's proven every single day. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the media is nothing more than the PR arm of the democrat party.

You can find examples every single day - this is from just a couple hours ago:

WASHINGTON POST’S NATIONAL POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT CALLS TRUMP SUPPORTERS ‘RUBES’

UPDATE: A spokesman at the Washington Post offered this comment to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

One of the Washington Post’s chief political reporters labeled supporters of President Donald Trump and his proposal for a wall along the southern border as “rubes,” in an appearance during a podcast released Monday.

Dave Weigel, a national political correspondent for WaPo, appeared on the popular left-wing podcast “Chapo Trap House” to discuss the government shutdown and other related issues. Shortly into the episode, Weigel began expressing his disdain towards Republican voters.

“[Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell] is very good at identifying what the rubes want to hear,” Weigel said, referring to negotiations between the Kentucky Republican and the White House over wall funding.

A spokesperson at the Washington Post told The Daily Caller News foundation the following when asked about Weigel’s remarks:

“We do not think our reporters should be using derogatory terms to characterize anyone,” and that the “matter is being handled internally,” the spokesman said.

Weigel’s comments are just the latest example of the veteran reporter’s history of injecting naked left-wing bias into his work. In 2010, Weigel was forced to resign from his first job at WaPo after The Daily Caller disclosed private emails from him to other reporters on the infamous “Journolist” listserv signaling strong animus towards conservatives.

In those emails, Weigel accused conservatives of being motivated by “racism” and of manipulating the media to “violently, angrily divide America.”

Weigel also suggested that he hoped radio host Rush Limbaugh die after he was admitted to a hospital for chest pains in 2009.

In response, Weigel told TheDC that “my reporting, I think, stands for itself.”

“I’ve always been of the belief that you could have opinions and could report anyway …. people aren’t usually asked to stand or fall on everything they’ve said in private,” Weigel said.

Weigel later publicly apologized for his behavior in those emails, but was forced to resign from his position at WaPo. In 2015, he was rehired by the paper as a political blogger.

He got a fragment of a clue because the media turned on someone like him and his family, and he could extrapolate. If you keep a tiger in your house, eventually it will eat you.

Walter Crokites Tet offensive turn around for support for the Vietnam war spurred the Media to trying to make Presidents do their bidding in making policy and until Trump came along they've been getting away with it for decades, and of course the Media now hate Trump because he's pushing back on then and exposing them for what they are.

I don't seem to find any information about this guy serving in the military, his dig is not really relevant to his rant. But in regards to the military he should put up or shut up. As we all know the last two Presidents that served in the US military were both Republicans, and were both pilots - does he remember how the press (AKA fake news enemy of the people) treated them during their their terms of office.

Oh wait a minute, he has defended the press from President Trump - that's probably like serving in the military to him.

Anyways this guy seems a little slow to catch on to what's going on.

A little slow? He's fucking clueless to the GENERATIONS of bias by the nattering nabobs of negativity!! If this guy were a seeing guide-dog then he'd need his own seeing guide-dog.
