Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch slams media’s ‘steady drumbeat of attack’ against Trump

Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch says the media’s “steady drumbeat of attack” against President Trump has destroyed their credibility.

“I don’t think he’s been treated fairly in the media,” the Massachusetts representative told WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Joe Mathieu on Wednesday, Mediaite reported.

“I thought that one of the biggest casualties of this past election was the credibility of the media,” Mr. Lynch said. “I read probably six or seven newspapers a day, my staff sends me the clips, and there was just a steady drumbeat of attack against Donald Trump.

“It seemed like some press outlets became completely unshackled from responsible journalism,” he added.

Mr. Lynch said he noticed a dramatic shift in Mr. Trump’s first address to Congress Tuesday night from his previous, “sometimes inflammatory rhetoric.”

“I thought he was much more conciliatory,” the Democrat said. “He urged us at one part to get past the trivial differences and work together. That’s not been his mode of operating, at least up until this point.”

“Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch says the media’s “steady drumbeat of attack” against President Trump has destroyed their credibility.”

“media” ?

Try the complete demoncrat party. The DNC is just as culpable. And their “steady drumbeat of attack” against President Trump has destroyed their credibility.”

While keeping his frontal assault in place, Trump has maneuvered a wedge behind the Democrats as well (i.e. between the Democrats and many of their traditional positions/supporters).

This guy, Stephen Lynch, is running for the trees to save his career.

It's been my understanding for a while that Lynch is the least repugnant member of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation.

Lynch is the most conservative of the Massachusetts delegation. He’s from South Boston.

"Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch says the media’s “steady
drumbeat of attack” against President Trump has
destroyed their credibility."

The Media never had any credibility in the first place.
Objectivity is an unknown concept to the Media.
The America media is completely corrupt and exists
only to propagate DNC liberalism and lies.

The media is the democratic parties propaganda arm. Trump knew how he was gonna be covered by the media. He masterfully exposed their hypocritical ignorance. Now a little olive branch from the vicious losers. Just steamroll the clinton fearing and left wing arms of the democratic party so something better comes out....it should take only 20 years..

I, for one, applaud the courage it took for a Democrat to say what he’s said. It would be so easy to go with the herd and say something outlandish like Trump’s victory was worse than being raped.

It’s a start.

IIRC he grew up in Southie so it seems possible that he got at least some introduction what this country is *really* about.

It’s time to join Trump.

I think they finally saw the writing on the wall.

They can’t beat Trump. More importantly, even if they could, they cannot beat the American people. So they are gonna go along with it, and act like good patriotic Americans from now on. But I’ll remember.

I *thought* he was from Southie.I know and,I'll wager that you know too,that there was a time when kids growing up in Southie were taught to be decent,honorable people.My Dad grew up in Southie (long ago) and a finer man you could never hope to meet.

Lynch’s voting record is horrible. His lifetime leftist rating in Congress is 89%. He scored a perfect moonbat 100% for 2015 (from the ACU).

Lynch just may understand that by pouring it on
Trump the media and their Democrat populace will
inevitably experience a backlash from masses of Americans.
