http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/eric-trump-were-thriving-as-nation-media-covers-garbageBy NICOLE LAFOND Published JULY 6, 2017 10:43 AM
Following in his fathers footsteps, first son Eric Trump blasted the media on Thursday morning, saying the press focuses all of its coverage on nonsense and garbage.
Appearing on Fox and Friends, Trump claimed that markets and job growth are at an all time high, yet the media is focused on covering whether the President colluded with Russia to meddle in the 2016 election.
If you look at the amount of coverage that has been directed to that story and all that nonsense and garbage versus the amount of coverage directed to the fact that the Dow is at an all-time high, that the S&P 500 is at a all-time high, that the Russell 2,000 is at an all time high, he said. I mean, were thriving as a nation. Everybody wants to get focused on nonsense. On garbage. On distractions.
He went on to say his family feels personally betrayed by some members of the media who used to be family friends, and are now spewing visceral hatred. He specifically called out CNN host Anderson Cooper for rolling his eyes at top White House aide Kellyanne Conway.

(I admit to visceral disgust at everything trump and related!)

...that all they can do is run to FOX when they want to get their message out. What babies. Talk about a snowflake safe space! Of course that crap works for their base, but the other 60 percent of the country is plugged in elsewhere.

If he stuck to the Teleprompter, he'd be getting the good coverage he wants.

You can't have it both ways, Eric.
