WSJ Editor: How a Less 'Reverent' Press Might Cover Donald Trump | NBC News

He's not reading news papers he is getting it all from his twitter feed.

Why is the main media humans whose feeling get hurt when attacked by Trump, but Trump's supposed to take it on the chin. Attacking President Trump by media shows no respect for America, how do people expect younger people to respect elders with this kind of example. The younger generation is being brought up out of control, thanks to this lack of respect by media for America.

So of all the folk out there the most powerful should NOT be held accountable?

"there isn't always an agreement on what the facts are" that direct quote of a cable news reporter is one of the tops reasons they are dying.

Really, Gerard? Last year, I remember asking him why he didn't hold the politicians accountable during the Fox News debate he moderated, and he gave me a similar bullshit answer. THIS is how you lose your readers' trust, not by doing your goddamned job!

When Hillary Clinton lies, call her out! When Donald Trump lies, call him out! And don't you dare call yourself a journalist until you take your own advice and stop cozying up to the politicians you're supposed to hold accountable.

Really just really on New Years Day REALLY

Just watched this guy interview Rience Priebus, John Podesta and Gerard Baker. His interview style was a lot less aggressive with the latter two fellows than he was with Priebus. Maybe he should take Baker's advice and treat certain people with less deference or perhaps all with the same objectivity.

So Todd agrees that there should be a little less coziness between the media and the President now that Trump has been elected lol. I think there's going to be some discomfort there to say the least.

Oh the struggle to maintain journalistic honesty. Poor nbc. lol
