Trump v. Media

On February 24, 2017, Politico posted an article titled "White House goes to war with the media" by Matthew Nussbaum and Nolan McCaskill. The intended audience is the average American that doesn not quite know what goes on everyday with what President Trump states on his twitter page. Both of the author's have political experience while one words for the white house and the other is just a news reporter for Politico. Their argument is that the "fake news" Trump claims is not in fact fake. The stance they take seems a little sarcastic as they sort of mock Trump and white house. The message behind the article was that Trump really jumps to conclusions without having any real knowledge on the subjects he speaks about on his social media accounts and in real life. The evidence they use are just quotes from the president himself and those coming out of the white house.

I personally believe that the president is not making up the things he talks about on social media. CNN is a very biased media source. I relate PETA to CNN as they take stories and twist them up with very little facts to make the story more interesting. I'm not a big fan of Trump, but at least he has the power to do what he wants since he's not biased to any party. He doesn't have to listen to them because he is his own brand and won without either party's help. The man shouldn't be on twitter ranting and raving about things like this, but at least he's telling the world how he really feels. No president before seemed to have any courage when it meant standing up to the media sources like Trump does.
