I dont think this is a "Trump vs the media" issue, and tagging it as such is baiting... but its a slow day so, I'll bite.
Truth is Trump made this accusation (that is all it is at this point) off the cuff, something we all know he tends to do. At the time he made his statement there was not enough information briefed to him or Clinton for either to make an accurate assumption. Its important to understand that NO evidence has come to light at this point, let alone Thursday morning when he made his statement.
If he turns out to be right, that's OK, but at the same time its not like he is any part of a government agency and the media needs to stop reporting on his whims like he is. If we really look at it he made 1 of 2 choices, it either was or was NOT terrorism, so its a 50/50 split on whether or not he is right. If he turns out to be right, I'm sure we'll never hear the end of it from him, but if he's not, I doubt we'll hear a peep. Admitting wrongness is not in his character, or many politicians for that matter.
I dont think we can argue that a Presidential candidate to make a public comment on something he/she has very little actual knowledge about is extremely unprofessional, regardless of what side of the aisle they are on. Trump is not a politician or a diplomat, he is a businessman and a celebrity
Until the black boxes are analyzed there is no real way to determine what actually happen. We need to understand that this was a tragic loss of life and not a "trump was right or wrong" scenario.

Good afternonon,
Sisi is a traitor and murderer? I only watched the aftermath when Egypt killed some violent protesters that turned out to be Muslim Brotherhood associates. Like Morsi. Who the current administration supported.
I suspect, like Jesse James was blamed for every train robbery in the 1870's, IS IS will be blamed for every Islamic terror attack. To blame ISIS is a smart move by those the current administration is supporting all across North Africa, Libya and Syria. You know, the moderates.
Kind Regards,

Mishap at 30,000+ ft - rather unlikely at 10% for mechanical failure. The plane traveled to Tunis and Asmara prior to the crash as well. IS has a presence in both places - however Tunisia is an ISIS hot spot for recruitment. Wouldn't be surprised if this some how pointed back to this layover.

How Tunisia Became a Top Source of ISIS Recruits
The cradle of the Arab Spring is also by far the largest source of foreign fighters heading to join Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.
