So Is It Happening Again - Is The MSM Giving Trump A Pass On His Recent Press Conf Comments?.....

When you hear the talking heads on the cable news shows talk - it seems like they always normalize whatever craziness that Trump gets himself into - by saying - 'well that's just Trump'; 'it's just Trump being Trump'; 'his base loves him'; etc.

Instead of holding Trump's feet to the fire for not being presidential - they just let him slide - because he's like no other president we've ever had.

Why are they doing that and not demanding that he conduct himself like any other president and show some respect for the position and the American People.

They always let him get away with his crap.

Now they will help bring him down. Neither will be done for anything other than their own interests.

Most of the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC are raking him over the coals.

... of the MSM to hold Trump accountable. The MSM is in the business of making money. They will do and say -- and "report" -- whatever they judge will attract the most viewers. That's all.

ABC/Disney will not report the real story. They keep running the both sides crap and agree with it.

Caught a bit of MSNBC Mid Afternoon,Ari got stuck with two Wing Nuts what a farce. They just are afraid to nail Trump's Ass to the Barn Door once and for all.
