Unbiased truth telling would work rather well. Although that’s not what he’s talking about.

I had a dream...

In it Acosta and few of his merry band of shills in the press are running down Pennsylvania Avenue covered with Tar and feathers being chased by Millions of Americans carrying pitchforks and torches.

I wonder why?

You smug punks thought you’d run him out of the nomination. Then you thought you’d run him out of the general election. Then you thought you’d defeat him in the general election. Then you thought you’d get him with Russia. Now you think you’ll get him with “harassment”.

BACKFIRE BIG TIME

Media needs a different bench of “journalists.”

“CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta said reporters must change the way they have traditionally done their jobs in order to effectively cover President Trump.”

Obviously what he means is that they need a new approach to effectively ATTACK Trump.

Playbook?

Why not try the "truthbook". Playbook is for kids, and the left-wing media has been treating its audience like kids who are not allowed to know the truth and who can't think for themselves.

How about trying to be fair and impartial? Report on the successes like economy and judicial appointments. Start looking harshly and fairly at his critics and things like sanctuary cities and their lawlessness. DO YOU F***** JOB in other words.

Pigs.

They sure do.

It is because he is not playing by their rules as last non-Democratic Presidents did, just rolling over and meekly allowing themselves to be disemboweled by the press.

He fights back.

And he doesn’t fight back with “My esteemed colleagues across the aisle have mistated...”

He fights back by saying “These criminal people elected to serve this country had openly and outright lied about...”

So yes. The media recognizes he isn’t going to play by that playbook any more.

I love it.

I don’t love discord.

But I love discord a lot more that rolling on my back and allowing my enemies to slice me open because “resisting” would be viewed by them as simply fomenting discord.

I am okay with fomenting discord, and I think the President is more interested in the truth than tranquility, and that has The Swamp up in arms.
