THERE it is! Brian Stelter all but admits WH journos are biased and were hibernating for years until Trump took office

During Sunday’s briefing from President Trump, CBS News’ Weijia Jiang went full Acosta, which of course meant that CNN’s Brian Stelter loved it, and applauded the media in general:

Many of the most revealing exchanges at recent WH briefings have been prompted by a new generation of correspondents. They're not taking President Trump's not-my-fault routine for an answer. They're pressing, following up and fact-checking in real time… https://t.co/9jqYhJEPDl

There’s a new record set every day for “journalists” patting other “journalists” on the back:

Jonathan Karl rightly referred to this as the "soapbox" approach to journalism. It's reporters trying to make themselves the story by getting into confrontations w/ Trump and acting like political opponents rather than journalists.https://t.co/ANHCSpYWdJ https://t.co/7LWA7rNsRF

They aren't holding Trump accountable, they are simply staging a performance. It's mostly opinion.

And btw it's co-dependent. Trump loves attacking them out and they love being attacked by him. Trump gets to play to his base and they play to theirs (other people in the media).

Translation: Activists with press credentials are more interested in arguing with the president instead of documenting his response and fact checking it https://t.co/7Jqgr2q6ta

Stelter probably doesn’t realize it, but it was nice of him to admit that the media was largely hibernating for eight years before the arrival of Trump:
