Donald Trump at his press conference 02/16/2017
I didn't see the press conference yet. It lasted an hour and seventeen minutes. Yikes - not sure when I'll get to watch it.
I've been watching FOX News discuss it - particularly O'Reilly.
Apparently, Trump spent a good portion of his time talking about the media and how horrible they are - they are liars.
FOX News is on board with that. O'Reilly said that Trump has delegitimized the press so much that even if they told the truth 50% of the people wouldn't believe it.
Chris Wallace countered that the media isn't making up the facts. The problems Trump has are a result of how he handled the Flynn problem and the people he's selected to be in his cabinet.
O'Reilly is really playing up the idea that the reason media is AGAINST Trump is because they're the mouthpiece of the Democratic Party.
This is so odd.
O'Reilly doesn't think his network is part of the 'media' that's a mouthpiece of the Democratic Party because he's on the network that has been a mouthpiece of the Republican Party for years.
I think the reason the media seems to be 'against' Trump is because they're not falling in line with everything he says.
So much of it doesn't make any sense.
When I have a moment to read the transcript or watch the press conference I'll try to list all the items that don't make sense.
