QOTD: ““You are fake news!” Mr. Trump yelled at the CNN reporter and called Buzzfeed a “failing pile of garbage.”

All heck broke loose among the reporters, with many screeching and trying to ask questions.

It was glorious.

Mr. Trump said [and I’m paraphrasing] that the media is attacking, but that he has this [he was pointing to his microphone] and can fight back. He alluded to the people who couldn’t fight back when attacked by the left and media. Mr. Trump is genuinely offended for how the press has not only treated him, but those who are helpless against a careless media.

Having watched the media destroy innocent people and move along, and conversely let a corrupt administration slide, Mr. Trump’s indictment of the press is welcome. There will be a time to worry about press freedom, but today is not that day. Today, the media should do some soul searching and consider their own careless behavior. Being loose with the facts, shamelessly biased (these were the people crying at Obama’s last speech), and ideologically extreme leftist does not inform so much as alienate people who are trying to be informed. Media reformation is necessary and if it takes Mr. Trump’s stick and carrot to move them in the right direction–well, it’s a start.” –Melissa MacKenzie
