In a highly contentious press conference Tuesday, Donald Trump attacked the press for their justified scrutiny of funds raised for veterans. In the press conference Trump stated he thought it wasn’t right for the press to pay so much attention to the promised funds. Although, this kind of attention to detail was not present in 2008 for then Senator Barack Obama. Commentator Dana Loesch agreed, “I'm glad to see that the press is finally standing up to do its job,” she stated on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 Tuesday.
Loesch argued that it was reasonable for Republicans and people on the right to hate the liberal media:
One of the reasons that we're seeing this visceral reaction against the press, Anderson, is because for— Actually a little over eight years we've seen a press that has protected certain aspects of the beltway. We've seen a press that has protected this current administration.
She went on the remind the viewers that the media had ignored Operation Fast and Furious, ignored the people losing their health insurance due to ObamaCare, and treated Benghazi as though it was a “made up” scandal.
