Viewers of any political stripe can probably agree on one thing: Trump’s press conference today was quite a … spectacle. And part of that spectacle included Trump once again dismissing and denigrating the MSM, much to many mainstream reporters’ chagrin.
Chuck Todd, for one, is fa-REAKING the heck out:
This not a laughing matter. I'm sorry, delegitimizing the press is unAmerican
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) February 16, 2017
With all due respect, Chuck, Donald Trump isn’t responsible for the press’ crumbling legitimacy. He didn’t build that; you guys made that happen.
.@chucktodd a little self-reflection by you and your comrades would be in order here

You did that yourselves. Not Trump.

Sorry Dude. That's not Trump's fault. Y'all delegitimized yourself. https://t.co/xX8PSYMuRw

Depends. If the press you are delegitimizing is not legitimate, it's a fair cop. https://t.co/Hdm3OTkUzz

you guys already handled that part all by yourself https://t.co/FnATTCDF6y

But the press has half done this to themselves let's not forget their role in this debacle

.@chucktodd The press de-ligitimized themselves, Chuck

Laugh your tits off, America. They did it to themselves. https://t.co/Q8zSBMsaV1

You've all delegitimized yourselves with punditry disguised as news – and this is the result.

That's pretty damning, since you've done a fine job of delegitimizing yourselves. https://t.co/z9treZ8D4w

Chuck and his network sure thought it was funny when Trump was drowning out other GOP candidates. https://t.co/z9treZ8D4w
— BT (@back_ttys) February 16, 2017
Maybe press should have done a better job of seriously scrutinizing DT during the election. But, you guys liked the circus then.
— AnneBoleynsHeadache (@wife2ofhenry8) February 16, 2017
It's a sh*tshow. But, you and MSM thought he was so entertaining during the campaign.
— Linda Bruce (@LKBinNC) February 16, 2017
It's not a laughing matter, Chuck. Some of us knew this all along. You were too busy arranging Hillary's coronation to listen to us.
— BT (@back_ttys) February 16, 2017
You delegitimized yourselves w/ 8 yrs of sycophantic drooling over your Hope and Change messiah. https://t.co/11jqU9pO56
— SFK (@stephenkruiser) February 16, 2017
More journalists should have thought about this while acting as Obama's PR office for 8 years https://t.co/c6D21KWsU8

Here’s a good question:

Ooo … You know, MSNBC should really address this issue ASAP:
Good subject for Brian Williams to discuss tonight. https://t.co/xE3Ri0EiGy
— Jimmy (@JimmyPrinceton) February 16, 2017
Aww, snap!

Update:
Oh man, Chuck’s on a roll:
Press bashing may feel good to folks but when it's done by people in power, it's corrosive. Take off your partisan hats for a second
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) February 16, 2017
This. Effing. Guy.
https://twitter.com/Heminator/status/832312565170634757
You should probably do so as well. https://t.co/pB3V5PyY9g

"Take off your partisan hats for a second." – what an asshole. Only the press is allowed to wear partisan hats.
