    They don't like how Trump played the game, how he manipulated the media, and how he was mean to Hillary, who was supposed to get elected. It was her turn.

    There's also the small matter of him being an unqualified moron not fit to shine my plastic buttons.

    Has nothing to do with him being a complete buffoon and liar.

    I'll give you politico. They break some news. The Hill is basically an aggregator at this point. 90% of their articles are pure rewrites of someone else's work.

    That's standard political fare.

    Do you every get tired of shoveling so much bullshit onto this thread?

    Tinfoil hat, conspiracy-theory foolishness aside, the motivation you ascribed to the media is particularly ridiculous. It is the media's job to question people in power. If you said some journalists are out to get Trump because it will make them look good, I could buy that. But to say it is about policy or because he wasn't their choice? That is just more of your whiny Republican fanboy garbage.

    Also, you don't know what is motivating the sources. You are just taking advantage of the presence of anonymous sources to make up whatever shit you want. You also don't know that they are lying. You made that part up, too.

    You really should stop crying about proper sources when you are so happy to just make shit up to fit the narrative you like and you should stop whining about standards when it is clear you have none.

    It's not the media's job to try and undermine a presidency because he's a moron.

    Sorry. But, it's not.

    We have elections for that. Just had one in fact.

    It is absolutely within the scope of the commentariat's job to keep hammering on the fact that he's a moron. Or, if he continues to show his ass, for the straight news media to report on that.

    What would you suggest they do? Ignore his stupid 3 a.m. tweet storms?

    No, it's not. Not the way he does it.

    It's the media's job to expose the truth, especially when it is the truth about people in political power.
