Via Drudge: In a jaw dropping spectacle in the lobby of Trump Tower on Tuesday, the President went off on the media while ranting about his response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend. Trump stepped in it when he appeared to defend the alt-right and double1d down on his original comments from Saturday. The presentation was originally supposed to be the unveiling of an infrastructure proposal that would overhaul the system.
The Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) could not get enough of Trump’s fiery and furious tirade as he went to battle with the press. And their evening news broadcasts later that day were commanded by the coverage of Trump. Minus their commercials and teasers, the total air time the networks set aside for all their news coverage combined was 58 minutes and 38 seconds. Of that total time, they spent 45 minutes and 31 seconds on Trump’s wild press conference (77.6 percent).
The coverage was absolutely pervasive on CBS Evening News where they dedicated all 21 minutes and 13 seconds of total news time to the Trump show. That’s right, they used 100 percent of their air time to talk about what Trump said or tie racism back to him in someway. Nothing else was talked about from the whole wide world of news.

Just read a link to a tweet over at AoS that I think nails all this. I paraphrase: Two hate groups meet and get violent with each other. The media blames one side, because it belongs to the other.
Trump was right and the Lefties hate it.
PS The comments make more sense than the snide piece.
Leland, you do understand that both sides come from the same ideological dogma of leftism. Right?
Because Trump dared to state there was violence on both sides and then doubled down by stating it was legitimate to protest the removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee, both statements true, he is now a media declared NAZI. Can a coup attempt be far behind?
Meth, I most certainly do. I also know that Hitler and Stalin started out on the same side. They eventually split, and the Democratic controlled US government sided with Stalin against Hitler; while Republicans opposed working with either Hilter or Stalin. 75 years later, nothing has changed. Including the desire of Democrats to treat some people as "others" who deserve to have their rights violated, rounded up, and segregated from the rest of society.
Also Meth, I know how the US came to possess Guam as a territory, and the role of the media in that happening.
The coup is already in progress ric. The media and the Deep State have been at work to overturn the legitimate election of Donald Trump as President. The cucks, Nevertrumpers and the GOP wing of the Democratic party are all in to help in destroying him.
The only people standing by President Trump are the nationalists like Steve Bannon. So if he abandons them to curry favor with people who want to destroy him he will be lost. So he is not doing that. He is fighting. The media. The Republicans. The Neocons. The Deep State.
You saw the real Donald Trump in the Press Conference. He is standing up and telling the truth and not repeating politically correct newspeak. That is why the media is freaking out.
What the left and the media don't understand is that they have pushed for too long and too far. They have attacked normal Americans. They have preached hate against white Americans. Their communities. Their rights. Their history. Their privilege. Some white join in with that. They revel in the abuse. Just as gays who support Muslims they have no concept that they are enabling those who want to destroy them.
The big difference is that the other side has had enough. The "normals" are not going to take it anymore. They are the ones with the guns. You saw the beginning of this with Cliven Bundy and his people resisting the environmental extremists. You saw more of it with armed militia protecting the marchers in Virgina. The police refused to protect them. So they are going to take matters into their own hands. With their own guns. It is going to get a whole lot worse. People are going to get hurt. I especially think the news media might want to rethink their attitudes. They are not bullet proof. I predicted this a long time ago.
I just want to explain something. White men are the best at killing people. That is what we do. That is how we built this country. That is how we have kept this country. So if they start it off they really won't like what happens. We are on the precipice. The forces of the media and the left don't realize the danger and are continuing to do what they always do.
Frankly I am very worried.
If the forces of the media and the left and the Deep State do not moderate their extreme attacks on President Trump and somehow get him out of the Presidency we will see things that make last weekend look like a children's birthday party.
I don't think they've weakened support for Trump, but they've certainly succeeded in making such support disreputable. There's a significant variance in support for Trump in polls versus support for his policies. There's also the paradox that at least some of Trump's support comes from the fact that he's treated with such undisguised hostility and contempt by the media.
This is indeed a coup, and Trump has Deep State/coup members in the West Wing. I don't understand that rationale.
Keep your enemies close?

Germany in the 20s.
The role of the SA will be played by the Midwest, South, Plains States, and selected portions of the Rocky Mountains.
Special guest appearances may be expected from the High Sierras and the ethnic Northeast.
I think the problem is that some of the people that are close to Trump like his daughter and son-in-law do not support the nationalistic program that got Trump elected.
This press conference is the real Trump. He is a guy like most of us who post here. A patriot with no time for political correctness. He is a 1950's guy in 2017. That makes him a Nazi to the scumbags in the media.
Haven't heard much about Russia lately.
They really had to work at that. I enjoyed watching them laboriously try to keep their talking points straight. Also they had to work at giving a shit about how Hillary was sexually violated, er, beaten silly, by Trump. But this - calling a Republican a racist -is second nature. They do it in their sleep. It's easy for them because it's pure projection. (They must really hate themselves.)
Everyone knows the media made up it's mind about Trump the second he won the GOP primary and became The Enemy of the State. They've been misrepresenting him and his words ever since. He went from amusing to treasonous overnight. Trump the pussy-grabbing Mexican hating racistsexist now with raging homotransphobia and russiaphilia. Most recently with neo-Nazi/white supremacist sympathies. Kill, kill, kill. Then dig him up and kill again.
It's too much! And obviously so.
Where I live there are a lot of pinheads who don't question what they hear on CNN. But even here there is also a surprisingly large number of people who find watching the news a complete waste of time, sorting through lies and hyperbole, and recognize and will acknowledge what I outlined above. This is difficult in the short term but it's also clarifying and the latest in a series of self-inflicted death blows by the media.
I wonder if they have completely overreached, if their reliance on the presumption about righties and racists is going to crumble out from under them. A presumption only exists so long as there is consensus and I wonder if the left has utterly and fatally undermined this consensus through years of now obvious hypocrisy and double talk on the topic of race.
I have to admit that I haven't been watching FOX or any news for the past month. I just am tired of it and I am a news junkie. I do read a bunch of blogs so that is where I get my news. But after they dumped O'Reilly and started attacking the Pro-Trump voices I decided to give it a Pasadena.
I think a bunch of us are tired of this bullshit. The news media has lost it's influence with more than half of the country. That includes the so called "conservative press" which is just part of the GOP wing of the Democratic party.
"He is a 1950's guy in 2017. That makes him a Nazi to the scumbags in the media."
Absolutely.
It is becoming all too predictable.
I was removed from the US press during our Nova Scotia sojourn. I liked it. So, I am consuming much less now.
