Current Events > Trump blames media for anger in society, one day after CNN received an explosive

(+) Yeah! (+)

A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!

This will surely calm people down, well done Donald

I think trump is to blame for redhats sending bombs everywhere
---

I mean I would agree with him.

Its just unfortunate that this is coming from literally Donald Trump, who I would argue is equally culpable.

The only reason I would entertain the idea he isnt moreso right now is that hes only had 2 years, while the medias been at it for ages.

It's kind of hilariously sad he calls for calm then immediately jumps back to stirring up hate on the media and blaming them for it.

He's one of the biggest sources behind it all ffs.

The media is trying to pin these incidents being caused by the president's rhetoric. They keep reporting how the recipients of the suspicious packages were all criticized by the president at once point. That is crap journalism and smacks if inherent bias.

Trump being a thin skinned narcissist is going to lash out when he is being blamed or criticized for things in which he may or may not have been culpable for.

Bombs we're sent to 2 former Presidents, former Vice-President, former Attorney General, Congresswoman and former Head of the CIA.

And our administration is deflecting and victim blaming. 'Merica

Yeah. Gonna have to say neither side is innocent here. The media keeps blaming Trump for a lot of things but Trump always gives them fuel.

Everything he said was true. Most are propagandists for the left. They're manipulative and dishonest. I'm so glad Trump is putting the media on blast.

As someone who mostly votes Dem I agree. The media is always pushing fear or hate.

So the media should stop calling him out if they don't want to be killed?

Not entirely sure what you are trying to propose. Yes, they might call him out, but they SHOULD when he simply lies on a consistent basis. They don't deserve to suffer for simply reporting on the president being a thin skinned moron.

General reminder that Fox News is one of the most popular news networks and therefore mainstream media.

I'm talking about blaming him for something out of his control. If he lied about something, fair game.

Well, what is out of his control? He will often claim it isn't his fault, when reality is very much otherwise. Or simply call them fake news and the enemy whenever they are reporting on things he's said/done.

And poor reporting/biased news shouldn't be met with the outright hostility Trump promotes against them anyway. He is the one stoking the fires of hate against the media and others in a massive way.

Uh huh it has nothing to do with the President who routinely encourages violence against his detractors.

"The media made me repeatedly incite terrorist attacks against people I don't like"
---

Said by the person who actually SPREADS that hate and anger.
What an idiot.
