CNN Demands WH Declare 'Media Not The Enemy' Despite Proven Lies / Biased Attacks

[mudwhistle]

Trump is employing authoritarian tendencies every week. One thing all authoritarians do is sublimate the press.
We see even now dictators around the world are crying fake news when the press reports how many innocent children they’ve slaughtered or gassed.
This is what Trump has unleashed on the world.
And his cult continues to do his bidding.

What is "authoritarian" about just calling out the Media who is trying to destroy America?

No reporters have been jailed, and none will be.

All that is happening is the Acosta and the rest of the Fake News media are just being mocked and belittled for their fakery and incompetence. President Trump is merely exercising HIS OWN right to free speech. Just because he is President doesn't mean he surrenders his constitutional rights.

Because Bathhouse Barry NEVER complained about Fox News coverage. NOT EVAH!!!

Despite Fox giving him mostly favorable coverage and all the rest of the media giving him more favorable coverage than Fox gives Trump.

I agree with the second part.

 

[Decus]

CNN is the absolute worst. They use to report the news but all they offer now are non-stop editorials from opinionated clowns with an inflated sense of self-importance.

While you may not like the President's 'style' I think he is the perfect President at the perfect time, and his 'destruction' of the media - exposing them for who they truly are - is much needed and a service to the American people. EVERYONE needs to be held accountable to keep them 'honest'. There has been no one to do so for a very long time, and in the absence of accountability they have not been held 'honest', which has been exposed.

It is bad / sad that the President has had to be the one to step up and be the 'attack dog'. That isn't his job - he shouldn't have to be the one to reign-in the out-of-control media but no one else is doing it, so he has taken on that challenge, too.

I do have more respect (what little there is) for the President, though. He is not a polished politician or a 'professional journalist' whose tools-of-the-trade is smooth, polished verbal manure-spreading. He is a businessman who is doing what he can.

He was a businessman. But he took an oath a year and a half ago. That oath says specifically that he will defend the constitution of the United States. By labeling the press as the enemy of the people, he is contrary to the defense of that constitution.

There has always been a contentious relationship between the press and the presidency. The press has a responsibility to tell the people what is happening in their name. The press has a responsibility to report that news fairly, openly and without nuance.

The president has a responsibility to act honestly with the people. To not lie, use outrageous hyperbole and subterfuge.

If the only acceptable message ignores the outrageous comportment of the president, our democracy suffers. Single position messaging is a fancy way to say propaganda.

The only profession mentioned in the constitution is journalism. It is a protected institution due to its responsibility to point out when the emperor has no clothes.

Attacking the press as the enemy of the people is not merely undemocratic. It's dangerous. And when a businessman, come game show host and real estate salesman becomes president of the United States he should suffer the slings and arrows of dissent whenever he acts irresponsibly at best, reckless at worst. America deserves no less.

the press has a responsibility to be fair and unbiased.

they erased those words from their vocabulary except when it can be applied to others. freedom of the press is a right only there because we the people put it there and wish to protect it. but like all rights, you can lose them if you abuse them. or are you saying some people and places are above having to respect not only rights in general, but how they apply to others as well?

You're mighty flexible with eroding rights. Does that philosophy extend to the second amendment?

Should every news outlet act with the same level of obsequiousness as Fox? Is it incumbent for a free press to shine and polish the actions of a president who acts with such reckless abandon? In order to maintain "freedom" for the press, are they to be tethered to the actions of any person holding the office of president?

It is like you don't even understand that Fox's coverage of Trump is barely more positive than their coverage of Obama. The only reason they are being positive at all is because of consumer confidence and the huge initial jump in the stock market. Before Trump won Fox was still lying about Trump making fun of a reporter's "disability". Obsequiousness is when the media thinks you are a divine being who will make the waters rise and they get a "thrill" up their leg when they hear you speak.

CNN does not have a "right" to make the news, moron. They can just as easily be replaced by another insidious 3 letter "news" channel.

I've listened to Fox commentators call Mueller' investigation a witch hunt. I've listened to them heap praise on Trump for getting nothing from the North Koreans, siding with Russia while standing on foreign soil next to Pitin against our own intelligence community. I've heard them describe child detention centers as summer camps. That's obsequiousness in spades.

Do you have any fucking clue what CNN and MSNBC commentators say or have said? Why do you think Manafort has a goddamn thing to do with the Russians or Trump's supposed "collusion"? Do you think Mueller is the national Inspector General who can prosecute whoever the fuck he wants when he wants on the tax payer dime?

Trump got the remains of the soldiers and they are no longer shooting missiles with the intent to hit Japan. You think Trump didn't get anything because you are a mindless hack.

It is more a case of YOU siding with the disgusting leadership of the intelligence agency over your fellow citizens who voted for the elected president of this country. There are no people more reprehensible and disgraceful to reputation of our agents than John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Peter Strzok etc.

They are summer camps moron. I have been to summer camps that were worse. The sole problem was the fact that the children were too young to be separated from their parents , and that was the parent's fault for not coming here through the proper channels. It is hilarious how you are too stupid to see how fucked up it is for the media to use pictures of Obama's camps as visual representation to the public and then to liken it to the death camps or Japanese internment camps just because they are all "camps". It is also hilarious how you don't understand that this incident is not any different than when kids living in this country lose their parents due to a prison sentence.

 

[mudwhistle]

CNN is no longer considered news.

To those who hate the 1st amendment.

Nice try. 1st amendment doesn't apply here. Fiction vs fact does apply. CNN is fiction.

If CNN is fiction, then Don the Con's tweets are pure fantasy.

Don the Con recognizes that the natural enemy of his lies is the free press.

Which is why Don the Con attacks the free press so much.

You got it backwards. Nice try, though.

I have it exactly right.

If CNN is fiction, then Don the Con's tweets are pure fantasy.

Don the Con recognizes that the natural enemy of his lies is the free press.

Which is why Don the Con attacks the free press so much.

Does anyone doubt that Don the Con would gladly 'regulate' the press if the First Amendment wasn't preventing him?

I think you're a retard.
If you can't tell the press isn't free, but instead pushing Hillary's and Obama's agenda, you're too stupid to converse with.

 

[easyt65]

After Sarah listed all the heinous attacks and lies he and CNN had perpetrated, Acosta pretty much said, "You're absolutely RIGHT but we still demand you declare we are not the enemy!"

Bwuhahaha....

Hey Jim, Go F* Yourself!

I agree with the second part.

The first part is correct as well regardless of what you agree with.

Obama was consistently given 60+% positive coverage from Fox despite attacking them all the time. Trump is only getting 70%+ positive coverage on Fox and that is considered "state tv" by these dipshits.

 

[mudwhistle]

Donald is so delicate. Media acts like meanies and he had to declare them public enemy number one because his widdle feewings are hurt.

Must be some other Donald your lying hide is talking about. Donald Trump is not delicate at all.

He’s a weak weak president and the whole world saw it in Helsinki.

Nope.
The whole world saw a president, who was a foot taller than Putin.
The media planned to attack him regardless of what he did.

The amount of thought I have put into my political positions would give you 3 brain aneurysms if you actually had a brain.

A deplorable actually admitting he doesn’t have a political position except the ones that Trump has. Good for you.

Where the hell did you get that?

I am both way to the right and way to the left of Trump on a number of issues.

 

[Crepitus]

Stop falling for the fake news. Reporters are supposed to ask hard questions. That doesn't make them the enemy. If 90% of tRumps coverage is negative maybe he shouldn't do so many negative things. A free press is fundamental to our freedom.

When did you conservitards start to hate freedom?

Acosta and CNN are throwing a fit here, not conservatives.

Conservatives are fine with continuing to mock and laugh at Libtards in the Lame Stream Media

Bullshit. This constant attack on the media is one long temper tantrum. You kids whine and wimper every time someone prints something you don't like. Hell, you've reinvented your own "news" industry just so you can only hear what you want to hear, even when it is obviously fake.

The Media attacked the Trumpster first. They just didn't like being called out, they don't have any respect for anyone else's right to free speech.

Not so. "The media" did their job and reported on things he did/said. He didn't like it so he went on the attack.

he's not allowed?

No. He's allowed to his opinion, and even allowed to state it. As *president* he should not be poisoning the well so to speak.

It is not just them.

Tucker criticizes him frequently, and obviously Juan the mushhead, the Democrats on Outnumbered, Greg Gutfeld, Bret Baier, Dana Perino etc. Just because some of them mostly agree with him over lunatics who support vandalism doesn't mean they are marching in lockstep or something.

CNN Reporter Throws Tantrum After Not Getting His Way At The WH Press Conference & Runs For The Door

Gone are the good ol' days when CNN openly admitted to not only reporting the news but also admitting to telling people what to think about and how to think. Gone are the days when they went unchallenged, when they could write and say whatever they wanted because there was simply no one on the Right willing to step up and call them out on their lies and spin. The Left Wing media is clearly about to have a melt-down as this new President has changed all of that!

CNN, more than any other Liberal media source, has been hit probably the worst, having been called out, challenged, and exposed for their lies and propaganda. Their dismal viewer ratings are proof of that. The chants of 'CNN Sucks' now overpowers their reporters' attempted biased reporting. All of it, however, is their own fault and well deserved.

CNN has been caught time after time reporting fake news. Time and gain they have issued retraction after retraction, simply deleted stories without mention, have been sued for false stories, and have fired staff members over fake news. Their reporters have said horrible things about this President and his administration...all while insisting they are NOT biased.

In the latest meltdown by CNN, Reporter Jim Acosta attacked WH Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, calling her Un-American after she refused to declare 'the media is not the enemy of the people'.

** ACTUALLY Jim, when the media repeatedly intentionally pushes propaganda, hit pieces, and fake news - so much so that retractions, pulled stories, law suits, and fired employees become the norm - the media has become 'the enemy of the people'. There was a time when TRUE journalists claimed to be the 'champion of the people' because they exposed lies by shining the light of truth on 'the enemies of the people'. Americans are not sheep who blindly follow - the fact that the liberal media is a manipulative false-reporting entity is not some revelation but has been known for quite some time now. The opposite is quite the case now - much like the FBI, the media, especially CNN, have destroyed their OWN reputation.

At one point in the briefing, being denied what he demanded Sanders give him, like some child throwing a tantrum, fake news CNN correspondent Jim Acosta walked out on the Press Conference.

I've got 2 words for CNN and Acosta: 'BUH-BYE!'

Believe it or not, if CNN ceased to exist 5 minutes from now the world would be just FINE. The news would still get reported. No one would miss Acosta. No one would miss CNN. MSNBC and the other remaining Left Wing media would step up and fill the void of Left-leaning biased reporting created by CNN's disappearance. Acosta 'showing his ass' and walking out did NOTHING.

"Acosta’s self-described “rant” went even further than usual as he quipped that he and his colleagues should “make some bumper sticks” and “buttons” to protest outside the White House against the President and his administration. That’s amusing since that’s not all that different from what happens on CNN."

Yeah, making anti-Trump bumper stickers and buttons and joining the liberal extremists out in front of the WH in protesting this President and his administration would show everyone how UNBIASED they are.

Bwuhahaha....


Like Don Quixote charging the windmill, CNN charged Sanders and the Trump administration at the WH again....and ended up showing himself to the door...with very few people caring, as Acosta did nothing but confirm how biased CNN and Liberal media is and how much CNN really does 'sick'.

Put another 'W' in the Win column for Trump and the American people versus Fake News / Fake News CNN.

What about Obama and his out right hate for Fox News, Fox wasn’t the enemy, Fox is supposed to ask the hard questions. Why did Obama and the left hate freedom then and now want all to embrace it now?

Fox news pushed rwnj conspiracy theories like him being a mislim and Kenyan. These were out and out lies, not mistakes or errors. Lies. Falsehoods. They have earned their poor reputation.

Lol! Nothing said about reputation, CBS, NBC and CNN have reported out and out lies as truth, now care to get back on subject or do you just want to continue to make excuses?

No, they didn't. You have just fallen for the fake news again

show me your outrage at obama trashing fox and that part of the media. last i checked 99% of the liberals felt that was ok and justified cause they hated the way FOX news presented the story.

ergo - same for CNN and those who hate it.

if taking it to the media is wrong, thank obama. he started this shit. trump just took it to a new level.

rest assured NO PRESIDENT should be telling our media what is right or wrong but all this BAD TRUMP w/o holding obama accountable as well is pure bullshit.

Faux Noize has a well earned reputation for pushing conspiracy theories, twisting the truth, and telling outright lies. They've been doing it since the beginning of the Obama administration.

so because you call them FAUX NOIZE i'm supposed to believe they only lie?

WE NEED OUR WEAVES!!! I DON'T WEAR THEM BUT WE NEED THEM. youtube that about CNN reporting and get back to me.

you show me fox news altering reality like that and we'll talk. til then you're just like obama - bitching at fox news and trying your damn-dest to discredit them and giggle so in effect people won't want to bring them up. very clever tactic but only a idiot relies ONLY on something like that.

fake news? let me load up some washington post for you -

Analysis | Sarah Huckabee Sanders indicts the media — on bogus, Trumped-up charges

sanders:
The media “said I should be harassed as a life sentence”
wapo rebuttle
Nobody said Sanders should be harassed as a life sentence.

they end their paragraph with:
Rubin said nothing directly about people “harassing” Sanders, although she did say being “uncomfortable” should be a “life sentence” for Sanders, for “lying” and “inciting” people against the press.
---------
so - they FUCKING DID SAY LIFE SENTENCE!

sanders:
The media said “that I should be choked”
wapo:
Nobody advocated for Sanders being choked.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace (whose show I have appeared on, full disclosure) didn't call for choking Sanders, but instead asked a reporter if she ever wanted to “wring” Sanders's neck out of frustration.

wring your neck - chocked? come on people, same damn thing.

how if the media is going to fucking lie hand over fist, "we the people" have every right to call them out on it. NO VIOLENCE but when do you call a lie a lie? when it suits your purposes?

so - you can continue on with FAUX HAHA I TOLD you crap or you can sit and look around and realize the media is full of fucking shit.

Somebody needs to learn the difference between an opinion piece and a news story.

I understand why you are having problems though, you being a faux noize fan and all. They rarely bother to differentiate.

Corruption flourishes in the absence of honest media. The media can't claim to be honest and fair if they're carrying political banners. I can't believe the things we've seen our media excuse, cover up or show no curiosity about. It's mind boggling.

Being the stupid fuck you are you don’t even know what the purpose of the free press is.

Seriously? They do their job too well? Where was CNN's curiosity about the IRS targeting conservative groups? Where was it when Bill Clinton was meeting Loretta Lynch on the airport tarmac? How about Fast and Furious? FISA warrants? The Clinton foundation's work in Haiti? Uranium One? Too well?

 

[WEATHER53]

If you had watched the CBS Evening News and local 11pm until 1985 and then not at all until today, you would be unwilling to believe that either example is “”News” based on the context of how you knew it in 85
You would say it was a political discussion battleground, like the old Agronsky and Company , but not news .
