I noticed early on in Obama's Presidency, the media almost always called him "President Obama," even when it was a quick headline or short segment, it was ALWAYS "President Obama." I noticed this was still the case in January. The title was nearly always included even when his name was mentioned multiple times in a segment.

I thought that I didn't remember them always adding "President" when they referred to President Bush or previous presidents but I thought well, maybe I just didn't notice.

Well, now that Trump is President, quite often its just "Trump" without the "President" title mentioned.

The media is really an amazing bunch of completely biased asshats.

First reference in written stories would be President Trump. Second reference is just Trump.
That was the correct style when I left the biz.
 
What say we don't call him again at all. I like to call him "The Donald," because I have heard that drives him up the wall. But so far he hasn't seemed to notice I was doing that.

Holy crap, this is really grasping at imaginary straws. Why don't you take this phony outrage to RT News and see how it goes? I don't think even those Putin stooges are stupid enough to run with it.
 
I went and looked at sites that dislike president Trump. Looking at you Washington Post. They never call him president in the headlines but they do call him President Trump the first time they mention him in a story.

Exactly my thoughts.
 

Wow, just fucking wow.

I did not realize that as posters on Lit, we were members of the Press...

:eek:

I'm going to have to change from THE Orange Don to THE President Trump in order to retain an aura of respectability.

:cool:

I cannot bring myself to care about what the press does anymore.

Since the Candy Crowley debate, it has all been a partisan bobsled race to the bottom of the course...
