It is beyond any doubt that most of the national media wants to see Donald Trump lose the election in November.  The press people know this, so does the President.

 

Yesterday, CNN host Jake Tapper retweeted a nasty missive from a Trump-hater saying Mr. Trump is “insane.”  Literally.  Completely.

 

If I had done that to President Obama while working at Fox News, I would have been sanctioned by management as Glenn Beck was when he took a personal shot at Mr. Obama.

 

Yet Tapper apparently has no fear that AT&T, which owns CNN, will discipline him.  Why would they?  CNN attacks President Trump all day, everyday.

 

ABC News White House correspondent Jonathan Karl is loudly objecting to Mr. Trump taking time to criticize the news media but why?  Mr. Karl surely knows the press wants to hurt the President and uses the news cycle to do it.  In Karl’s new book, he singles out CNN White House guy Jim Acosta for scrutiny because Acosta is so anti-Trump.  

 

So what’s the beef, Karl?  You know the truth, you see it everyday.  There is no “fairness” by the national press when it comes to covering Donald Trump.

 

It is true that the President should avoid chastising media people during the pandemic because it is small ball compared to the struggle the nation is facing.  But Mr. Trump is certainly within his rights, generally speaking, to object to the horrendous media culture we presently have in this country. 

 

Here’s the kicker: I firmly believe that some press people believe Trump is worse than the contagion.  And are acting accordingly.
