It&#8217;s a campaign that denigrates the Constitution as it emulates the tactics of tyrants. And proving that he has no sense of shame, he once again unloads on the hosts of Morning Joe:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Crazy Joe Scarborough and dumb as a rock Mika are not bad people, but their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses.

But in both tweets Mika&#8217;s intelligence was maligned without any examples of her alleged mental deficiencies. Clearly Trump was just throwing another tantrum over having been criticized. His gargantuan ego simply can&#8217;t handle it. What&#8217;s more, he&#8217;s projecting his own stupidity in a pathetic spasm of denial.<\/p>\n<p>And because Trump can&#8217;t go two minutes without spewing blatant lies, he again wrote about <em>&#8220;their low rated show.&#8221;<\/em> However, <em>Morning Joe<\/em> is enjoying <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/tvnewser\/q2-2017-ratings-rachel-maddow-has-the-no-1-cable-news-show-among-adults-25-54\/333372\" target=\"_blank\">record high ratings<\/a><\/strong> with nine straight quarters of growth. For someone who spent fourteen years on television, he sure doesn&#8217;t know anything about the business.

First of all, Greta was let go because her show was a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=35050\" target=\"_blank\">complete failure<\/a><\/strong>. The program was a virtual sinkhole in the schedule. Based on the performance of the shows before and after, people were obviously changing the channel when it came on and returning when it was over. It was the free market &#8211; a concept usually cherished by conservatives &#8211; at work. And the notion that her <em>&#8220;out of control bosses&#8221;<\/em> fired her for not hating Trump enough is ludicrous. If true, then why have they recently hired or promoted Nicolle Wallace, George Will, Hugh Hewitt, Bret Stephens, and Charlie Sykes, And let&#8217;s not forget another Fox News refugee, Megyn Kelly, whose new NBC program is already <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/media\/339641-megyn-kellys-nbc-ratings-sink-for-fourth-straight-week\" target=\"_blank\">an epic dud<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter tantrum continued with a swipe at Trump&#8217;s favorite media target, CNN:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I am extremely pleased to see that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CNN<\/a> has finally been exposed as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FakeNews?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FakeNews<\/a> and garbage journalism.

As for <em>&#8220;garbage Journalism,&#8221;<\/em> that term applies to anything that isn&#8217;t sufficiently flattering to Trump. What he regards as legitimate journalism is the National Enquirer and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=35054\" target=\"_blank\">conspiracy crackpot Alex Jones<\/a><\/strong>.

But if it proved anything, it&#8217;s that CNN has a diverse roster of political opinions and is not the bastion of liberalism that wingnuts like to pretend it is.<\/p>\n<p>The ferocity of Trump&#8217;s assault on the media represents a clear and present danger to the free press. His short term goal is to deflect attention from his many policy failures: healthcare, taxes, immigration, etc. But his longer term goal is to denigrate the work of all journalists in order to advance the state as the only <em>&#8220;approved&#8221;<\/em> source of information.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The reforms he has made to the White House press office are evidence of this.
