wanna talk about trump's hooded papi? 

No i was just pointing out the hypocrisy of the liberal media. They are all upset they can't ask Trump any tough questions to hold him accountable but when Obama was in office they were pretty much trying to see who kid kiss his butt the most and the hardest.

The hypocrisy of the liberal media is exposing the weaknesses of the administration.

Don't need to. The so-called president is doing a great job of proving that true every time he opens his mouth. Thank heavens for SNL!

pretty sure obama wasn't in the fast lane for impeachment over suspicion of treason at any point in his presidency. a billion and two hearings for benghazi don't count (speaking of hypocrisy)

I often wonder about the complaining and rather childish behavior of the Washington journalists.  I read the back and forth between Trump and CNN's Jim Acosta, and this one question made me wonder about the intelligence of these journalists.

 

"AOCSTA:  Aren't you concerned, sir, that you are undermining the people's faith in the First Amendment, freedom of the press, the press in country, when you call stories you don't like fake news?"

 

Does Acosta actually know what the First Amendment means?  Does he think that because of the First Amendment journalists cannot be questioned about the words they print, or the videos they create?  To my knowledge, the First Amendment (as applied to the press) only guarantees that the government will not create laws that control the press, or the content they put out.  As to the credibility of the press, even the Washington press, the peoples lack of faith in them is on their shoulders.  This has been building for years as more and more evidence has come out showing how biased the mainstream media is especially when it comes to political reporting, and now it is interesting that the polls show the people actually find the president more trustworthy than the press.

"A key finding of the poll shows that voters find the Trump administration to be more truthful than the news media. The Trump administration is considered truthful by 49% of voters, to 48% of voters who consider it untruthful. Meanwhile, the news media is considered untruthful by a 53%-majority of voters, to only 39% who find them truthful (a 14-point gap). Numerous members of the Trump administration – including Trump himself – have been criticized frequently for making false statements. The partisan split on this topic is clear – 91% of Republicans find the Trump administration truthful, versus 78% of Democrats who find the administration untruthful. Conversely, 62% of Democrats find the news media truthful, while a whopping 88% of Republicans consider them untruthful. Independents consider the Trump administration untruthful by a margin of 38%/56% and were split on the news media at 48%/48%."
