I follow Trump on Tweeter as a curious observer. He is a super busy guy. I am impressed he actually has time to follow what the liberal media is saying about him 24/7, which for the most part is absolute BS. But he also knows that he if doesn't do something about it, his 2020 chances for reelection could be nullified. I dislike the negatively charged discourse, of course, but at the same time, can't see any other way through.
I wonder what Obama would have done if 90% of the media attacked him like they do Trump.

Obama: Fox News is 'destructive' to America
Posted by
CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
(CNN) – President Obama is pulling no punches when it comes to Fox News, declaring the cable news outlet to be "destructive to [America's] long-term growth."
In a more than 8,000-word interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Obama compared the cable news channel to papers owned by William Randolph Hearst at the turn of the 20th century that unabashedly pushed the media titan's own political views.
"You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view," Obama told the magazine.
Officials in the Obama White House have long made Fox News a punchingbag, launching a full blown offensive last year when aides declared the network to be "opinion journalism masquerading as news." Then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said the cable outlet "operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party," and top aide Valerie Jarret called Fox "clearly biased."
