In reply to the discussion: 'This is not normal': Kurt Eichenwald blasts reporters for being afraid of questioning Trump [View all]anneboleyn
(5,611 posts)every word the idiot utters/tweets. It is just disgusting to see every member of the press so terrified and so WEAK -- so toothless when dealing an obvious charlatan and bully. The sudden Russia worship of the right has been just unbelievable (the so-called party of Reagan mindlessly supporting a guy who clearly has money ties to Russia AND constantly tweets affectionate messages about Putin?). And obviously the obscene abuse that his minions (or Russian trolls -- who the hell knows) on Twitter inflict on any reporter who dares to ask King Trump a question is scary (and deeply unamerican despite their constant yelping about 'Murica).
Trump's blatant, grotesque treatment of the press should scare anyone who thinks he will in any way be accountable for what he plans to do in office. The media has been covering his cabinet appts (literally the worst qualified and most inappropriate and antagonistic appointments ever) like giggling schoolgirls, hanging on every scrap that Trump throws them when he opens the door of one of his various bunkers.
