A possible reason why Trump is trying to silence opposition media

[Pogo]

Oh, we see the difference. This time, it's your guys getting the cold shoulder. And you didn't say squat about then.

And by the way, rating everything with which you disagree as 'funny' really is not.

Someday....maybe....when you grow up.....you too will be able to tellthe difference between an Obama having a feud with FOX......and Trump having a feud with EVERYONE but FOX and Breitbart and Daily Caller......One can only hope.....for your sake of smartening up......LOL

Far as I know there was no O'bama equivalent.

Guess that's why the poster can't be specific. Nothing to hang his hat on but vague innuendo and out the other.

The New York Times disagreed, but I'm sure you know best...

Still no specifics, still no link. As expected.

Now that Trumphitler is in power we need total gun control in America.

off the records with the press are common meetings, but they were OUTSIDE of the Presidential press briefing that occurs daily, where every person in the press core are present....

this press secretary used the off the record press meet IN LIEU OF the Daily presi/press meeting...

I believe this was what was upsetting?

On the road to dictatorship and fascism, the free press is and free speech are always the first casualties.

Well, when they become casualties, let us know.

Being shunned from a presidential press conference does not qualify.

How about when Trump said that the media should be required to reveal their sources of information when they publish it? That is ironic, considering that Trump himself is constantly revealing fake news to the press, like the 3 million fraudulent votes that were cast for Hillary, with only "I have been given that information..." as his given source. But more important than his hypocrisy is that truths, like Watergate, would never have been revealed.

When he attempts to force them....then I'll be on your side.

Oh, I forgot. Trump supporters know that he doesn't really mean most of what he says. Some people call that lying. Others just say it is exaggeration.

As for me, I don't believe anything that Trump says, because it was all revealed to me by the media, which, we all know, is "fake news".

22 pages and zero attempts to show where trump is silencing anyone.

Sad isn't it?

What a moron. By not permitting a free press to do their jobs IS silencing them.
It's also against the First Amendment. But it's pretty clear you, like Trump, don't read the Constitution.

So your evidence is to reassert the claim you are making? That's what reasonable people call begging the question or making a circular argument

And still no one has been prevented from doing their job.

Have you read the constitution?

Odd rant considering he said he would agree with you if trump actually does anything. I would be too.

You seem to forget a lot of things.

But to your point, Trump has to be taken at his word.

He has not submitted a bill to restrict the press....when he does, I'll be on your side.

Of course, playing the same clip over and over.....by Fox of MSNBC is no longer news...it become propaganda.

If you think otherwise, you better get an EEG

'Russian thugs' ....trump is a twat but how can you expect relations to get better if you ignorant Americans stereotype Russia and act as if it's still the Cold War

Most right wingers who are now stuck with the Trumpster have NO choice but to condone all of the excesses this clown is imposing on our democracy.....Just because you're spineless doesn't mean your opposition is. You're projecting.

and that is too bad; brainwashing is never pleasant to watch.......Irony defined.

However, the current administration is well aware that there are very damaging leaks about the Trump administration dealings with Russian thugs just waiting to be exposed in the upcoming weeks (and probably some of these leaks will be from the Russians themselves in their quest to ridicule the current status of U.S. standing in the world's eyes.).....Oh sure, only because you say so. That and you and those like you create threads about the scandals if Trump so much as farts.

Given these realities.........This is where you attempt to present your delusions as reality.

the oval office has launched a preemptive strike against our own media outlets (labeling them fake news) in order to "cushion" the blow of what these media outlets will soon reveal. Oh sure, that's it. It has nothing to do with a corrupt media turning humans into cantaloupes. A corrupt media exposed by Wikileaks BTW.

Whenever any organization is beleaguered by an onslaught of controversy, the organization retreats into its bunkers hoping that the controversy will be overshadowed by a more important exigency. I'm reminded how the Democrats, the Obama Admin., the Clintons, the DNC, the media and debates were exposed by Wikileaks, and Democrats like yourself continue to project blame on the Russians.

Ultimately this sham of an administration will not be brought down by so-called liberals. In one month they were declared a sham. Just kidding, you people declared them that on November 9th. You know, the tolerance, open-minds and intelligence that you've declared to be the difference between yourselves and those who are different.

but by sane republicans who would rather lose a battle than a more devastating war launched by a charlatan under their banner. You need to take a Valium.

We will be facing very nasty and contentious springtime months. You bet your ass you're right. This is because liberals have become very nasty people. Add fragile and dumbed down. It has nothing to do with reality. It's simply the results of propaganda, and a corrupt and failing "liberal" ideology.

yes we're nasty fbi is nasty cia and media too as well as immigrants,,,,,,,,,, dump has has made america a nasty place thanks to idiots who voted for the thief

Emotional outburst

I agree! I also believe sane Republicans will bring down Trump and his gestapo. Even if they aren't sane (like Issa) - they may realize their seats in Congress may be in great jeopardy if they don't at least act sane.

What a surprise, two snowflakes on the same thread agree.

OP: "Trump is a facist pedophile and rapist, and has a red-line to Satan".

Lakhota: "I agree".

 

[nat4900]

but American citizens are free to think and speak the truth.

........except, however, if you're part of the media, then you're labeled "fake".....according to the Trumpster, that is.....

 

[nat4900]

Government funded murder is what is good about America??? Really?

Are you referring to the death penalty...???

BTW, repealing the ACA is like establishing "death panels"....Now that should make Palin happy..LOL

.....and, likewise, I fully agree.....These republicans who will evetually turn on the Trumpster will not be doing so because they've discovered a heart, a brain or a soul.......They will do it because the Trumpster represents an end to their comfy seat in congress for their fat asses.

 

[nat4900]

Maybe that's because EVERYONE but FOX are a bunch of statist assholes?

Excellent.....PLEASE stay with Fox......they can use more morons.

 

[nat4900]

Hey, genius, you see what's written directly below my moniker, the one that says 'Classical Liberal'?

I've voted libertarian for decades.

Loser.

Speaking of an eternal "loser"......how many times has your "libertarian" party won anything??? LOL

 

[jillian]

You mean liberal fake news? Or liberal very fake news?

no, we mean rightwingnut loony lies.

now shut up, troll sock

 

[Sun Devil 92]

) where has trump tried to silence anyone?

WOW, this moron just woke up.....

Does it bother you at all that you can't even answer a question central to the topic you started?

Not much seems to bother him.

He's a left winger...by definition he is always right.
