Notice the number of people posting here who are making the claim that Trump has brought on this media war himself. Had Ted Cruz won the election would the press be cutting him some slack? How about a big government type like Jeb Bush?
It wouldn't have made one iota of difference to an ultra radical press who routinely concocts stories out of thin air and promotes them as news. There are no boundaries they refuse to cross in the name of journalistic integrity. If you can find one let me know, I see no evidence any such boundary exists.
The press attacks innocent women and children. Yet they make excuses for barbaric actions, terrorist bombings, rioting in the streets, assassinations of police, and rape. They have no moral underpinnings whatsoever and new examples proving my statements appear each and every day. These are not bloggers sitting in their mother's basement in their underwear, these are major news organizations.
So go ahead and blame this full out frontal attack on Trump himself if it helps you sleep at night. The press' war on the American way of life has been happening long before Trump even hinted at running for president. If you missed it that's a you problem.
