Is Donald asking for the investigation of the media and Saturday Night Live?

Thoughts? I think the news media should actually be something other than biased. People have the right to accurate news reporting. Agree?

Journalism is dead - there are no reporters anymore. On either side. The days where the facts were stated and editorial comments where described as editorial comment is gone. There is nothing left but sensationalism and inflamatory rhetoric - from both sides.

Yeah, Trump really has a moral right to whine about people insulting him, as if he's not guilty of insulting hundreds of people he doesn't like. Maybe he should the person who is investigated for defaming and belittling people. It would be a very long list of people he's insulted and defamed.

Like I said in tulc's thread here, Trump should take a long hard look in the mirror. This is the man who called Elizabeth Warren 'Pocahontas' during an official ceremony to honor the surviving Navajo Code Talkers. This is the man who called the inappropriate content star he had an affair with a 'horseface'. This is the man who called the black NFL football players 'sons of [insert profane word]' because they knelt during the national anthem. He doesn't have a moral leg to stand on to whine about people insulting him.

Leaving people to take in whichever side of the story they like, and then go out on the internet to rip out each others spleen to serve to its owner on a plate (in love, of course!)
All the while, the journalists sit back and enjoy the power they have to influence people by turning them against each other.

It really does look like he's losing his grasp on reality.

NBC runs approximately 8.5* hours of news a week. Yet Trump was crying about "hour after hour" and SNL. He's not crying about the news media. He's crying about all media and this Tweet is just another example of what a despot he wishes he was.

* Nightly News x 5, Meet the Press and the first hour of Today x 5 assuming there isn't some tabloid fodder or the Olympics to dominate that time.

Toilet Tweeter is losing his grasp on reality.

Poor Donald. He obviously doesn't like getting a taste of his own medicine.

Since when is SNL news media? People have the right to be entertained with SNL, that's about it.

Trump certainly does give SNL plenty of material to work with and ridicule, that's for sure.

Do you therefore agree with Donald that they should be "tested in courts" for this?

Seems like nobody near Donald can actually stand the way he does things -- including himself.

Which both sides?
Of the legacy media (as some call it, because they're not that mainstream anymore, people have had enough of them and stop watching)?
Or do you include the independent media?
...but i guess they're biased too...
You will however find more investigative journalism on the independent media then on the legacy media.

Sounds like he needs a safe space.

Yeah, it even used to be funny, like more than 15 years ago...

My first thought was that since this is an official message from the President, it might be a 1st amendment violation. This is the government trying to suppress speech and the feee press.

A comedian is only as good as his material. People laugh at Donald already without SNL; they've got nothing to work with.

In all fairness, it's not suppression -- it's a ham-handed (the only way Donald knows how to do things) attempt at intimidation, perhaps.

Journalism will return to normal ... after reality show Don is off the stage ...

This tweet is Trump demonstrating his narcissistic insecurities by lashing out in another Twitter hissy fit. He reminds me of an angry peacock strutting around with his feathers ruffled out and squawking because his ego has been bruised. He obviously doesn't like to be treated the way he treats other people. So, perhaps this is poetic justice for Trump to be given a dose of his own medicine.
