Many American journalists and others correctly objected to President Trump's lambasting of the U.S. media in his speech Thursday in Poland, noting that his words were damaging to our international status and democracies around the world.
Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, tweeted that Trump "dilutes respect for American democracy & gives license to autocrats to crack down on their own media." Haass also was critical of Trump's denigrating of the U.S. intelligence community.
How dare the president diminish his country's revered institutions (please, hold your laughter until the end) while abroad? Clearly, the man is a bitter, narcissistic autocrat, one would have been justified in thinking.
Then Friday, as the world turned toward the much-anticipated meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump, it seemed the media were, without much self-awareness, committing the same sins for which they'd blasted Trump - basically undermining the president on foreign soil.
There was no mistaking a negative trend among commentators as they imagined what might transpire between the two world leaders. If the media weren't consciously trying to undercut the president's authority while he was overseas, then unconsciously, they were doing a pretty good job.
No wonder Trump voters hate us.....

Surely this is a trick question. Of course the Media and the Democrats want Trump to fail. Their sissy acting leader was a pitiful failure at home and abroad so to have someone come along with some cojones irks them
it’s a hit piece

Even when they pretend to be objective they fail because they have to recite the standard disclaimer of journalists that they personally can’t stand the President. It has become the obligatory recitation to stay within the liberal fold.
These so called conservative journalists that work at the compost are all the same, conservatives in name only.
Funny how the mediots never seem to mention the stock market anymore?? That always seemed to prove how amazing Obama was with it always going up. That no longer seems to matter?
Hope? Most of the lamestream media would give their right hand to see him fail at any time.
“Did U.S. media hope Trump would fail abroad?”
Well, duh.
Does a wild bear dump in the woods
Yeah. Maybe you’re right. Allen West? ;)
