The media’s campaign to destroy Trump is sputtering.
Russia is turning into a dead end, so the anti-Trump press manufactured a new scandal.
And it led to a Fox anchor making a comparison between Trump and Obama that will leave you furious.
The media was in an uproar after Trump responded to MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough’s increasingly vitriolic and personal attacks.
They’ve called Trump mentally ill, alluded to Trump being a homosexual, and ripped him as a liar.
Brzezinski continued the personal attacks when she was mocking Trump on a recent broadcast by saying he had small hands.
Trump counterpunched on Twitter.
I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

This set off the media.
They reacted more strongly to Trump’s response than they did a Bernie Sanders supporter trying to assassinate Republican members of Congress.
Journalists framed the response to Trump’s tweets as a referendum on what type of country America is.
It was an outrageous freak-out that ignored the fact that the media sat silently while pundits, reporters and commentators have spent decades smearing conservatives with names like racist, sexist, bigot, and the disgusting phrase “tea bagger.”
The uproar even reached Fox News where host Julie Banderas ripped Trump in an interview with Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
Banderas complained that Trump was boorish, while praising Obama’s response to criticism.
The Hill reports:
Banderas knocked McDaniel’s defense of Trump, saying the president didn’t “need to stoop to that level.”
“I don’t care who you are. You don’t stoop to the level of that. I mean that’s like me scolding my 4-year-old for using a bad word and then me repeating it. That’s just not how you run a country or you parent a 4-year-old,” Banderas said.
“I mean I have to be honest, you know, if you see this negative commentary on a show, change the channel. Ignore it. I mean that’s what I tell my kids: When somebody’s mean to you, don’t fight back. Just walk away.”
Banderas also defended former President Barack Obama’s lack of reaction to attacks on him during his presidency.
“People used to call him a Muslim. People used to call him under-qualified, a sellout to America, a hater of Israel,” she said. “I mean they called him every name in the book, but you didn’t see him lash out.”
Banderas conveniently forgot all the outrageous personal attacks Obama lobbed at his opponents over the years.
During the 2012 campaign, the Obama campaign called Mitt Romney a “vampire” who sucked the blood out of companies and fired all their employees.
A Super PAC that supported Obama’s re-election ran an ad that critics claimed accused Mitt Romney of giving a man’s wife cancer.
Joe Biden even said the GOP ticket wanted to put black people back in chains.
Obama dished out personal attacks and he tolerated those around him smearing his opponents with vile attacks.
Banderas’ comparison was a complete rewriting of history.
