Washington Free Beacon writer Elizabeth Harrington said Monday on Fox Business that the media spin stories to hurt President Donald Trump "just because it's Trump," even if the news is beneficial to him.
Harrington noted that after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un announced over the weekend that his country would halt its nuclear and missile tests ahead of a planned summit with Trump, the media praised Kim's negotiating rather than Trump's diplomacy.
"They can't give Trump credit for anything," Harrington said. "If this was Obama, he would be getting the Nobel Peace Prize."
"It is such a detriment to the profession where everything is now spun in a way that can hurt Trump just because it's Trump," Harrington added.
"Anytime there is news that should be pretty beneficial to Trump—whether it is this North Korea news or the Comey memos, him leaking classified information and being under review—you have the media saying, ‘Oh, Trump is now trying to spin this in his favor and Trump is trying to spin North Korea halting nuclear tests in his favor."
"It's the media that's doing spinning, which we've seen again and again and again, regardless of what the issue is."
Harrington also said that Trump should continue to bait the media because they continue to give him free coverage and "no one" has a high opinion of them anymore.
They hate his guts and wish he was dead because he beat their messiah Hillary Clinton. They campaigned for her, gave money to her, did nothing but kiss her ass on TV every single day..and they failed and they can’t stand it
Funny, because liberals are so against bullying.
Huh. Go figure.
Nazis are bad.
Hitler’s SS were even worse than that.
Liberals are bad.
The Media is even worse than that.

Bump
That great news was the open story on NPR this morning, lady came on (former Obama rep so and so) the mountain where they were testing was caving in on itself, the North gave up nothing, the Chinese told him what to do.Trump did nothing.
Funny as hell.
Hasn’t CNN dropped out of the top three in ratings? Haven’t they had layoffs?
Trump appears to be winning the media war.
The news business as it once was is over.
In every market, newspaper circulation is down, TV news is losing viewers...
Truer words were never spoken.
