Former deputy national security adviser for Barack Obama, Ben Rhodes, had some criticism for how he saw the media handling the story:
It’s still amazing to see how a rambling, semi coherent and contradictory presser from Trump gets repackaged into headlines, stories and tv clips that turn him into a normal President.

Because everybody knows the media is notoriously pro-Trump. *Eye roll*
Yes the media has a pro-Trump bias. Galaxy brain take

Ben Rhodes has a habit of forgetting that he’s Ben Rhodes, and people can’t help but notice.
