Spicer: Media doesnt treat Trump with respect, cheers on Democrats

Source: The Hill




By Joe Concha - 01/08/17 06:00 AM EST



The media doesn’t treat President-elect Donald Trump with the proper respect, the man set to be the next White House spokesman said in an interview with The Hill.

Sean Spicer, a longtime GOP operative and strategist for the Republican National Committee, criticized a media landscape that he said mocked Trump even as it cheers on Democrats.

While he said the media seems to understand that Trump represents a larger movement after his presidential win, his remarks reflected longstanding antipathy on the part of the Trump team on how the businessman has been treated.

....................

“I think for a lot of folks inside the beltway, and inside pundit-world, they don't fully appreciate the understanding that he has of where the American people are," Spicer continued. “They continue to mock him in ways, when it frankly just shows the lack of understanding of that they have of where the American people are and what they think.”

A complicit media that practically ushered Trump into office against his own wishes is suddenly hostile for doing little more than quoting Trump verbatim and reporting factually on his actions and statements--that media is hostile? They should thank their lucky stars Ben Bradlee is no longer editor of the Washington Post and Scotty Reston is no longer at the New York Times.

And Trump is devoid of the qualities that warrant respect – he’s a bigot, a misogynist, and is ignorant of, or has contempt for, sound, responsible governance.

So far I've seen what looks like a twelve year old trapped in a fat old orange body. Until he learns how to govern using more than 140 characters at a time - he will not be my President and will remain an embarrassing footnote in history.

This sounds like some sort of black political comedy-- fodder for lots of upcoming movies, I'll bet

Nonetheless, I'll pass on them all

Trump hasn't shown any respect for the media, or even those who voted for him. As for Trump's so-called understanding of where the America people are, he has the lowest approval rating of any incoming President and only 26% of the American people voted for him. So I think the majority of Americans know where they "are" (even though Spicer's comments made no sense).

your daddy boss calls the people he's supposed to work for enemies in his new year's greeting-they tend to lose any respect they never had and made them even less likely to ever respect your capo.

The president-elect and campaign lackeys, having shown no respect for anyone or anything, now whine they are not receiving the level of deference they want.

You get what you put out. Because Karma is a bitch.

Let the Mock-o-thon continue uninterrupted. This crowd so-o-o deserve it!

That is the awards ceremony where booze is served to hundreds of those "damn liberal movie stars", usually culminating in a few good political ad libs on stage. I'm thinking tonight will be a bonanza, followed by a twitter storm in very blue vocabulary.
