Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."""

Trump can't prohibit the free exercise of the press, but he's damn sure trying to defame and libel them as "fake". Why? Because he's got a lot to hide and he's a compulsive liar and the more he makes idiots like you think the press is "fake" the better he can keep his shit hidden, like his tax returns.

Tell us all what he has to hide.

Trump is not violating the first amendment

But he is exhibiting a bunker mentality where everyone is out to get him and he is shielding himself from reality

Everyone is out to get him. Joseph Heller said it best:

"Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you."

Obama has never answered a question he did not review and approve of first.

You're thinking of Hillary, the dain bramaged worst Presidential Candidate in US history, the woman who not only had to know and script all the questions asked of her....when she bothered to hold a press conference....but also had to have debate questions handed to her in advance.

The Liberals media simply never asked Obama a tough question, so he never had to worry about what they were going to ask...


13 Hard-Hitting Questions Liberal Reporters Asked Obama

“Golf, what does it do for you?”
-- CBS, Harry Smith

“I’m wondering if you think that [Republican presidential candidates are] uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?”
-- CNN

“Do you have a vindictive streak?”
-- NBC

What has “Enchanted you the most from serving in this office?”
-- The New York Times

“In this fatherless world, where did you learn to love?”
-- CBS

“Are you ready to call yourself the ‘comeback kid’?”
-- Reuters

“How does your golf game hold up next to Tiger’s?”
-- ABC



Brutal....yet Riveting...

Notice the flip flop here from the recent claims of how Milo whatshisname had his free speech rights violated at Berkeley?

Let's see if this passes the smell test.

On the one hand, you have a person who was violently and actively denied the right to speak. Not by the government, mind you.

On the other, you have organizations that are allowed to print whatever they like, but are not allowed to ask questions of the president.

Equivalent? Not really. 1st Amendment issue? Also, not really. American liberals throwing hissy fits? Oh, yes.

Even you're not this stupid.

ABC, just like NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and PBS, is really not the mainstream media anymore. It has become a mouthpiece for the extreme far Left in this country rendering it unreliable with its fake news. That is why they are not credible anymore.

It is good that Trump is calling the bastards out and not giving them the exposure to spout their Moon Bat filth. There is no right to give them exposure.

not answering a question is not the prohibition of free speech at all. Just because some reporter wasn't called upon does mean that his right to free speech was curbed whatsoever.

anyone can ask any question they want. The First does not say that anyone has the obligation to answer any question posed by another

These complaints sound familiar. I believe we hear something similar from artists complaining about censorship every time someone talks about doing away with the NEA.

How is he prohibiting the exercise of the press?

I rarely watch the news any longer.

It's all fake to me.

And what's with the tax returns?

If he's failing to pay his taxes, (code for fair share), the IRS should address it.

So, Al Sharp-tongued owes 3 to 4 million in back taxes.

Where is your outrage?

 

[Yousaidwhat]

I might be wrong but I don't believe the President whoever it is is under any obligation to hold a press conference at all.

True . But when he does he can't then discriminate in an unconstitutional way . For example , only allowing Christians to ask questions.

Another important lesson from the Cat in the hat.

What is unconstitutional?

 

[Yousaidwhat]

Normally the left would be cheering minority groups from getting access or preferential treatment. Why the crying and moaning over a disproportionate number of questions to ask?

It's just not... Fair!

The lemmings say so.

ABC News analyst: Trump ‘shutting down’ part of First Amendment by not calling on mainstream outlets

Butt-hurt media outlets, many of who have called / compared Trump to Hitler and worse, are pi$$ed they are no longer getting preferential treatment, the type they think they deserve....so they are going bat-shit crazy!




"ABC News analyst Matthew Dowd accused President Donald Trump Tuesday of “shutting down” part of the First Amendment because of his pattern of calling on conservative media outlets at White House news conferences."


Ummmm, no one is preventing ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Buzzfeed from exercising their right to Freedom of the Press. No one is stopping them from doing so. The Constitution does NOT say that a President has to call on / show favoritism to specific news outlets. (Where were the 'big media's concerns when smaller media sources were not being called upon?)


"Trump’s decision to force mainstream media outlets to take a back seat caused a number of reporters and analysts at CNN, MSNBC and the three broadcast networks to voice their frustrations on air."
-- Both CNN and MSNBC have been caught engaging in 'FAKE NEWS' and in 'All-In' Liberal Media reporting....yet they still want 'special' treatment / considerations by the Trump Administration?

“I think there’s no other way to describe it but the fix is in,” CNN’s Jim Acosta said Wednesday"

'THE FIX IS IN'?!

This is the SAME FAKE NEWS / ALL-IN 'News' source that openly, on the air, declared they had done EVERYTHING they could to help Hillary win, to include ignoring all of Hillary's scandals:




And they are now bit@hing because Trump is treating them like the 'Fake News' / 'All-In' Biased Liberal Propaganda arm of the DNC they are?!



Not calling on them in press conferences is 'Un-Constitutional'....

Like you care about access. Paid shill.

If he doesn't get asked and have to answer hard questions you're left with trumpster delusions.

Oh right ... that's how you paid freaks want it

Wait, NOW the press is supposed to ask hard questions of the POTUS? What brought about that massive change?

What change? Is there some delusional brain blip you're having?

The "mainstream" press forgets how to ask hard questions until a Republican is in office, then all of a sudden they're heroic watchdogs, exposing government corruption, and stuff. Until then, their job is to help the president implement his agenda, to "educate" the public about how awesome he is and how great his policies are.

Speaking of delusional.

Were you saying this when Hillary was asked softball questions and had the media fawning all over her?

But he is exhibiting a bunker mentality where everyone is out to get him and he is shielding himself from reality

And just as every human that I have ever encountered has the same tendency towards a bunker mentality when they are treated with indifference and repeatedly attacked.

I on the other hand become offensive and attack back.

Which I would expect Trump to do.

I applaud him for not giving them the time of day.


Next question...

Yes?

You!
