Fox News anchor on Donald's presser.

 

Are they fake news, too?

Shep Smith certainly has no bias, right? 

 

Please.  If you think posting a link showing the one guy who would be right at home on MSNBC or CNN who is complaining about the presser is somehow vindication, you'll need to try a little harder.

 

If anything, Shep is hosting an opinion show that masquerades as a news show.  He's no less biased than Hannity or O'Riley. 

 

The truth is if you're a leftist, you hated the presser.  If you're a member of the MSM elite, you hated the presser.  If you're a member of the political establishment in either party, or a supporter of their views, you hated the presser.  If you're the average Joe on the street or someone who actually voted for Trump, it was nothing but red meat.  Based on the fact that Trump's polling numbers continue to rise despite the best efforts of your compadres in the MSM to do the opposite, I'd say his approach seems to be reaching the intended office.

 

Whether you like him or hate him, one thing is certain.  You're watching.  The ratings back that up.   Obama's pressers were about as interesting as watching grass grow.  He'd take a minimum # of questions, and drone on for 10 or 15 minutes stammering through each answer, never really saying much of anything.  Trump stood there and took questions, clearly having a lot of fun with the back and forth banter, even with Jim Acosta of CNN, and the thing just kept going and going and going.  They should put that stuff on prime time TV.

 

I've never seen a press conference end with applause from the gallery.
