CBS News Political Director: Media Ruined Its Own Reputation, Not Trump

CBS News Political Director: Media Ruined Its Own Reputation, Not Trump

Political Director for CBS News, John Dickerson / AP

CBS host John Dickerson said Friday that the media is responsible for ruining its own reputation, not President Donald Trump.

Dickerson, the political director of CBS News and anchor of "Face the Nation," was speaking to radio host Hugh Hewitt when he made the comment, Mediaite reported.

Hewitt and Dickerson were discussing Trump's press conference on Thursday, during which he repeatedly attacked the media's credibility.

"But that one comment, ‘They don't trust you anymore,' is a summation of where we are in America," Hewitt said. "Because I really do think Manhattan-Beltway elites have lost the country. They've lost it."

Hewitt asked if it is true that there is no confidence in America's media elite.

"Yes, it's true, and it's not because of anything obviously Donald Trump did," Dickerson said. "The press did all that good work ruining its reputation on its own and we can have a long conversation about what created that."

Dickerson went on to say that the press had overhyped many little stories about Trump, leading to many other reports not being viewed with much credibility by the American people. The CBS host also said that the media must represent the American people to the president when asking questions.

A recent poll by Emerson College found that more people in the U.S. trust Trump than the media.

CHILLING new scandal hits Democrats; media SILENT
2/23/2017 2:45:12 PM

I know, I know, it’s the Russians! They’re hacking our election and influencing our current presidential administration. Folks, that’s been the standard line from the progressive socialist left for quite sometime.

It’s been a game of the ol’ Kansas City Shuffle —ya know, you look left, they go right. It’s amazing how the liberal progressive media just doesn’t seem to want to confront the Democrat Party about flaws, failures, shortcomings, and scandals. And then folks wonder why they’re losing credibility?

Ok, let’s just imagine this, if we had three Russian brothers who were IT specialists working for Republican Members of Congress…yep, you get my drift. The story would be all over the place and there would be demands for these Members of Congress to step down, certainly be investigated.

But have you heard anything about this story, this revelation? As Ricky Bobby would say, “this just happened” but not in the world of the left. You see, the leftist media dismisses that which does not serve their ideological agenda and talking points. There is no way they’re going to bring this to light, just like there’s no such thing as an IRS scandal, and nothing happened in Benghazi. Or what is Extortion 17? Who is Army 1LT Clint Lorance? This isn’t so much about “fake news,” it’s about “selected news” and that is always about what the left deems important.

On this cruise, we have the head of ACT for America, Brigitte Gabriel, who is currently fighting against a smear campaign by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). As well, when did you hear the liberal progressive media discuss the background of the organizer of the Million Women’s March the day after the president’s inauguration day, Linda Sarsour. It was Ms. Sarsour who made some very disturbing comments about what she wished would happen to Brigitte Gabriel, which we shared here. However, were there any reports by the leftist media about Ms. Sarsour and her background? Nah, crickets.

This is why Brent Bozell’s Media Research Center is so important, celebrating their 30th year. This is why I’m so honored to be here on their second sponsored cruise with some fantastic conservatives. We must be better informed, and we need to have an organization that evidences the obfuscation, denial, dismissal, and outright lies of the liberal progressive media — heck, to listen to MSNBC, you’d think Obamacare and socialized medicine are the greatest things since Goober grape. However, talk to the Canadians who are here on the MRC cruise and they’ll give you a different story.

The leftist media keeps droning on about the “alt-right” but my question is, when are they going to talk about themselves, and the story of the Awan brothers?

Ah, I guess collusion with Islamists is just fine with the left.
