Kurtz: ‘I’m Not Seeing Much Difference’ in Trump’s Press Coverage; It’s as ‘Hostile’ as Ever

‘The media default setting when it comes to Donald Trump is that he is erratic on foreign policy, he bounces around, he takes unrealistic positions, makes threats he does not carry out’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KURTZ: "I am sad to say I don’t think the press has learned much. We covered Donald Trump, underestimated him badly during the campaign and mistook his frenetic Twitter trigger finger style, did not viable that one, for a guy that was not quite sure what he was doing. Yes, he had some learning curve as president and does not have a major legislative accomplishment so far, but he’s done a bunch of other things with executive orders, regulatory rollback, getting Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. I’m not seeing much difference in the way the press covers the president. The relationship is as hostile as it has been. I hope it comes down at some point, but so far, it is not happening."
