(dispatch from home tonight) My wife: "Why were your eyes open during the prayer?" My 7-yr-old: "It helps me focus. Because if I close my eyes, I see a bunch of toys around Jesus."

Good on VFW National for this statement. Some individual reporters do biased or sub-par work, but booing the press in general is an unhealthy trend. Democracy depends on shared facts and on a vibrant First Amendment.

Today, we were disappointed to hear some of our members boo the press during President Trump's remarks. We rely on the media to spread the VFW message, and @CNN , @NBCNews , @ABC , @FoxNews , @CBSNews , & others on site today, were our invited guests. We were happy to have them there.

“The legislative branch is becoming a parliament of pundits, in which both parties teem with people desperate to emote, preen, and shriek for voters and donors who follow politics like it’s a form of entertainment — and, in this case, a theater of the absurd.”

Yes, Mr. Pres-Elect, many of adversaries are very smart. But that misses the point. (The point is they don't have our interests at heart.)
