The message this week from Trump himself has been ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK, but not Hillary Clinton … the media.
He started in on them days ago shortly after the Second Amendment comment the media may (or may not have) blown out of proportion.
No such meeting or conversation ever happened – a made up story by "low ratings" @CNN.

Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) "the founder" of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2016
Sarcasm.
Check.
This is no surprise. Constant phony reporting from failing @CNN turns everyone off. The American people get it! https://t.co/a1A6XMfYx1

He continued to bash CNN specifically and then took his battle to a more generic statement about the media.
I love watching these poor, pathetic people (pundits) on television working so hard and so seriously to try and figure me out. They can't!

Shortly thereafter he called out the New York Times over ‘unnamed sources’ and dishonesty.
The failing @nytimes has become a newspaper of fiction. Their stories about me always quote non-existent unnamed sources. Very dishonest!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 13, 2016
The failing @nytimes talks about anonymous sources and meetings that never happened. Their reporting is fiction. The media protects Hillary!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 14, 2016
The failing @nytimes, which never spoke to me, keeps saying that I am saying to advisers that I will change. False, I am who I am-never said
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 14, 2016
And then BACK to generic grievances with the media as a whole.
If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%

My rallies are not covered properly by the media. They never discuss the real message and never show crowd size or enthusiasm.

Whether you’re a Trump supporter or not there is something very entertaining about watching Trump verbally destroy the ‘crooked media.’
