    IMO there is another group in the country that should be labeled a hate group.

    That group is the left wing news media. Every day all day long they spew hatred for the president. I for instance watch the CBS evening news since it follows the local news. Pretty much since the election, their lead story is some Trump bashing diatribe. This happens even if there is a larger news story. This is the reason that the left wing news media has an approval rating below that of Congress.

    Did your posts during the Obama Presidency had anything in common with the bashing you describe?

    "I don't like what they say about what I like, therefore, they must be a hate group"

    When the left wing media devotes a good percentage of their air time to bashing the president, yes they are a hate group, and should be labeled as such.

    I get a USA Today filler in my local paper. Virtually every day there is some kind of hit piece on Trump, usually on the front page. There isn't even a vestige of non-biased, responsible journalism anywhere in the paper.

    Yes I agree Leftist Mainstream Media outlets are all hate groups.

    Their objective is to run at least 8 bad things on Trump and conservatives to maybe 2 neutral or positive things.

    Obama was the Mainstream Media's wet dream.

    Consider how many MSM "journalists / contributors" are current / fmr. DNC / HRC cronies. No surprises. MSM hates having it's lack of credibility exposed.

    Did you demand that Fox News be labeled a hate group while Obama was in office? They criticized him every day. Beattlebart news? Did they ever run a story that didn't berate Obama?

    So please stop with the claims that roses grow from conservative asses.

    Maybe the reason for the left wing media spewing daily hate towards Trump is the fact they looked so damned stupid when they predicted a Hillary landslide. I guess they are trying to make people forget how wrong they were. OTOH enough of this hatred is enough already.

    Wow - if the Trump FanBoys can't take a few months of bad press for their leader, then they're in for a very long four years ... Comes with the territory - only now it's not Fox or Bettlebart throwing the stones, it's the other guys.

    Some crap, different day.

    How to argue illogically:
    1. Make a statement of opinion, it doesn't matter if facts support it
    2. Challenge anyone who disagrees with it to prove it wrong
    3. If it is shown facts don't support it ignore that, repeat step 1.

    One would hope CBS and USA Today wouldn't act like partisan rags a la Brietbart or Fox.

    The media fawned over Obama, the media today is 89% negative against Trump.

    Should the Rightwing media have been labeled a hate group when Obama was president?

    that makes the obsessive hatred of Obama by the GOP, symptomatic of a hate group.

    your logic, bro

    What's really funny to me, is that I just watched 8 years or more, of Liberals taking this track on any number of things "Conservative".

    according to the logic of the OP, the Republican Party is a "hate group", due to their 8 years of obsessive, compulsive, viceral hatred for President Obama

    Trump is out for himself. Today news reports Big Energy giving 7 million to Trump. He's abrasive and spews hatred,
    Trump approval ratings are the Lowest of any President in first 100 day. The media is channeling the public's disapproval of Trump.

    Energy companies and their executives donated at least $7 million to President Trump’s inauguration committee, according to newly released inaugural committee reports.Companies and executives in oil, natural gas and coal were some of the largest donors to Trump’s inauguration, which raised a total of $106.7 million, according to the committee's Federal Elections Commission filing.

    Trump's approval rating sits at 40 percent — 21 points lower than the average for presidents in the February of their first term, according to a Gallup poll comparison. It is also 11 points lower than Bill Clinton''s, who had held the previous low after one month in office with an approval rating of 51 percent, Gallup said.
