Letter writer says there should always be tension between Trump and the media.

I’m glad President Donald Trump lit a fire under the media. “The media” is probably somewhere between what’s depicted in “The Post” and “Die Hard.”

My personal opinion is that governments, and the judiciary, should lean conservative. Our press should lean liberal. There should always be tension, us-against-them, between them. We should always watch most carefully when the press and the government are on the same page.

The media has been throwing everything they can at Trump, they should keep it up, that’s their job. So far, nothing seems to be sticking, even when his opponents have offered bounties for impeachable information.

We live in extremely interesting times.

    Letter: None of Trump’s critics could match his accomplishments
    Should we all be in a state of panic? The brilliant Barack Obama (media creation) was our previous president. According to Rep. Jackie Speier and Tom Steyer, Donald Trump is mentally unfit for office and unnamed sources (White House staff) say he is a childlike moron. This is the man who came within one vote of repealing Obamacare, nominated Neil...
