I wouldn't necessarily call this "trolling" the media, but pointing out why something get such high importance, and some other things get swept under the rug or otherwise ignored.

Trump Trolls Media with Three Unanswered Questions about the Democrats and Russia
On June 22, President Donald Trump raised three unanswered questions about the Democratic Party and the Obama administration’s role in claims that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.
All three questions are backed by legitimate data and should be at the top of the list for news media outlets to investigate if the goal is to get to the bottom of the alleged Russia hacking story.
Here are Trump’s three queries together with background information raising further questions on the subjects.
1 – Why did the Democratic National Committee (DNC) turn down FBI requests to inspect its hacked servers?

The DNC did not immediately return a Breitbart News request seeking comment on why it rebuffed FBI requests to inspect the Committee’s servers.
In January testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, then-FBI Director James Comey confirmed that the FBI registered “multiple requests at different levels,” to review the DNC’s hacked servers. Ultimately, the DNC and FBI came to an agreement in which a “highly respected private company” would carry out forensics on the servers and share any information that it discovered with the FBI, Comey testified.
A senior law enforcement official stressed the importance of the FBI gaining direct access to the servers, a request that was denied by the DNC.
“The FBI repeatedly stressed to DNC officials the necessity of obtaining direct access to servers and data, only to be rebuffed until well after the initial compromise had been mitigated,” the official was quoted by the news media as saying.

2 – Why was the DNC uninterested in assistance from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to secure DNC servers?

The DNC further did not immediately reply to a Breitbart News request seeking clarity on this issue.
In his prepared remarks before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, former Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson revealed that the Democratic National Committee “did not feel it needed” DHS assistance into hacks of the Committee’s systems.
This means that the DNC, faced with hacks later attributed to Russia, turned down the possibility of assistance from at least two federal agencies – the DHS and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
....
3 – Why did the Obama administration wait until October before going public with claims that Russia was attempting to interfere in the 2016 presidential election?

The Obama administration was reportedly confident that Russia was attempting to hack the election as early as August. Yet the administration waited until October 7 to make an announcement, when the DHS released a statement claiming “the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations.”
Newsweek raised further questions three months ago when the magazine cited “two sources with knowledge of the matter” reporting that Comey wanted to go public with the Russia story in the summer of 2016, but he was rebuffed by top Obama administration officials.
