It’s been a rough day for media:
Katy Tur @KatyTurNBC
Trump trashes press. Crowd jeers. Guy by press ‘pen’ looks at us & screams “you’re a bitch!” Other gentleman gives cameras the double bird. 4:12 PM – 21 Feb 2016
Old media:
Chuck Todd @chucktodd
The campaign rhetoric needs to be ratcheted back. This is outrageous and dangerous behavior [….] 4:29 PM – 21 Feb 2016
Donald Trump (r) is a product of the earned media he gets from old media. Ironic, no?
Chuck Todd @chucktodd
There’s no easier punching bag than the media, but those that simply knee-jerk blame are being intellectually lazy. 4:47 PM – 21 Feb 2016
And an answer from someone at the Great Orange Satan:
Barbara Morrill @BarbinMD
The media is an easy punching bag because the media is intellectually lazy. And refuses to admit it. [….] 4:52 PM – 21 Feb 2016
It’s why we exist.
Update:

Nick Confessore@nickconfessore
Was on MSNBC, explaining that Trump doesn’t need $ for ads because he gets so much free media, when they cut away from me to a Trump rally. 3:39 PM – 21 Feb 2016
Ironic, yes.
Update II:
Jesse LaGreca @JesseLaGreca
First Trump came for the Mexicans and Chuck Todd said nothing…. 5:17 PM – 21 Feb 2016
Piling on. He deserves it.
