tRump's historic midterm defeat means the media has taken off the gloves

If you haven’t noticed, you haven’t been paying attention.

Well, I have noticed: the media has finally found their spine and are going after the politically wounded *president* with a zeal that should have been there since day one. I don’t see how the state media (Faux News) counters an onslaught being waged by the rest of the media, by Congress, by world leaders and who knows who else.

How does tRump get back to ground zero, let alone winning? He doesn’t.

1. to me it means I can just ignore the dotard from here on out.

Why waste time on this footnote to history? Let the media go after him, by all means. I just don't think I need to pay as close attention to his comings and goings, lies and screw ups now.

We've got him on the run!

2. That Would Be Nice

Based on recent evidence, the media needs to cooperate and invest heavily in GOP campaigns for them to be successful, at least in the electoral college. The media's downright savage treatment of Al Gore in 2000 was a national disgrace. John Kerry received only slightly better. As for 2016, while some media members expressed alarm at Trump, not enough of them did it, and of course it was typically tempered by bothsiderism and the long tradition of attacks on Hillary Clinton.

If they've turned on the current occupant of the White House, that could be very good news for the country.

really happening. That is, sadly, true of a lot of people.

5. Here's hoping they pound...

the crap out of him. Everyday point out the lies, corruption, crimes. I sincerely wish that his name, the bulk of his money making, is reduced to trash, worth nothing. It’ll impact the whole family.

6. More likely a response to his more direct attacks on the press.

(revoking a acosta's credentials and threatening to revoke others')

7. But Acosta's very aggressive questioning at that press conference is what got his

credential revoked. The press as a whole asked tRump a lot of hardball questions during that same presser. The emperor was naked during that presser. They didn’t wait uintil afterward.

Even a cub reporter can sense blood in the water.
