Donald Trump is Going to Get a Journalist Killed

[flacaltenn]

Totally wrong, as I also posted their logic. Once you start picking and choosing those who you THINK is not reporting the truth, it becomes subjective and the foundation behind the freedom of the press is no longer valid.

It's been posted in this thread now, but a Trump supporter (Yes he admitted it on the phone) called into C-Span to say if he saw Brian Stelter or Don Lemon he would shoot them.

NO ONE is perfect. If you say you are, you're a liar. Not being perfect doesn't mean they are open game to be killed. That's ridiculous.

How much of a war do they want to start? They are certainly ADVOCATES for polarizing and propagandizing their meager and shrinking audiences. If they HAVE no journalistic principles left and they are clearly just politically advocacy -- then it's up to them how high the fires burn. Isn't it?

They gonna hide behind their "ethics and principles" while SHELLING this country with political sewage all day and night? Ain't nothing LOW enough for them to NOT allow on air anymore.

Look at the NYTimes digging in supporting their new 3rd string "editorial writer" as more and more of her mean vile past is reviled. She hates cops and law enforcement to an absurd degree, is partisan as hell and race baits likes the best of the racists we see here on USMB. Is that a battle they want to WIN? THAT is how ZEALOUS these typing warriors are right now.

They're in it for the glory and the smell of war.

Any other time/place -- she'd be back typing in jammies in her overpriced flat in NYC -- being a big Twitter troll.

The media has exposed things about the government that the people would have never found out if we had to reply on the government to police themselves. The most obvious example is the Nunes committee who shut down their investigation without interviewing key people and didn't compel Steve Bannon to answer their questions.

You're a mod and you are trolling with a funny rep in zone 2. That's sad.

Soooo, you think that that is bad, but ignore the even worse whitewashing they gave the shrilary. Hypocrite much?

No? I've said a million times on this forum I don't support Hillary and never have. Strawman much?

But, did you slam her and her shenanigans on the open board? No need to answer, it was a rhetorical question

Yes, actually I did. Feel free to go back through my posting history and look. Wanna make a bet about it?

I tried to look at your history, seems one can't go back that far.....lucky you. Sorry if I don't believe it, though.

Sure you can't. I was hated on this forum by Democrats because of my posts saying Hillary was negligent on Benghazi and her server. That doesn't fit your strawman however.

That's what 90% of the response are in this thread. "But you didn't say anything when Hillary... when Obama... "

With the things he is saying to a base that is full of several conspiracy nutjobs, Trump is going to get a journalist killed, and then what? He is going to be sued for everything he owns, and he should be found guilty for it. MSNBC reporter Katy Tur reported this week how someone wrote her saying she should be raped and killed, followed by MAGA. We've already seen what Trump's supporters are capable of when one who believed Alex Jones Pizzagate shot up Comet Ping-Pong Pizza. It is the JOB of the news to hold the government and its official responsible for what they say and do. When Trump blatantly lies every couple of minutes, it is the media's job to point it out. The founders of the U.S. put the freedom of the press into the very first Amendment of the Constitution for a reason, it is fundamentally imperative to having a true democracy.

James Madison very clearly stated this when he wrote:

"A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."

A couple from Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Constitution:

"I am ... for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents."

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty and property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe."

So self-proclaimed Constitutional Conservatives, why are you not defending the Constitution and the forethought of those who took part in creating it? Why are you still backing Trump who obviously isn't respecting the glue that put this country together? And before you say the press is lying and not reporting the truth, please educate yourself, as the Founders knew there would always be press that would explore the fringe of truth. They said that ALL press must still be protected by the Constitution, because once you start taking away the freedom of the press from some you feel is being untruthful, it becomes subjective and the freedom of press as a whole will suddenly be at risk.

If Trump keeps it up, you're probably correct. His people are armed to teeth and itching to get into the fight. It wouldn't be the first time he's called for violence.

Rumor has it that they're dropping like flies.

The press is free as long as they aren't being rounded up an arrested. That's what the constitution provides.

That's a great point and one that is never mentioned. That, along with
their stories are not being edited by the government or their media outlets
are not being shutdown.

That's what the first amendment defends. The 1st amendment does not given
them a free reign to be rude and crude or misrepresent the facts or slant
the news.

When one of them is killed, the rest of them might wake up and realize
they are reporting for 320 million Americans, not just the 160 million
that they want to reach.

I asked a simple question. Do you expect them to NOT report on when Trump lies every 5 seconds? do you expect them NOT to report when kids are being separated from their families at the border? What do you want them to report on?

It's pretty hard to take the high road in reporting when you have to dredge through the swamp to report on it. If not for the press we wouldn't have found out about Price and his crap, or Pruitt and his crap, and so on and so on.

When Barry was caught illegally spying on Americans, on reporters, on the media, on US Senators, on USSC JUSTICES .... Treating Americans like enemies .... Did Liberals speak out against him?

No, they defended him...

It has been a pattern since President Trump was inaugurated well over a year ago. Coverage of the White House on the “Big Three” broadcast networks — ABC, CBS and NBC — remains 91 percent negative, according to a new study by the Media Research Center, which has been tracking the phenomenon since Mr. Trump hit the campaign trail in 2016.

It was over 90 percent hostile then — and remains so now. The trend is unprecedented, according to the analysis.

Trump coverage still 90% negative, says new study

 

[Picaro]

I watched 'journalism' in this country wither and die. I could care less if the hacks posing ans 'journalists' get killed or not;

they love whipping hate, reporting sympathetically on scum Democratic Party organizations that promote police assassinations, hire thugs to attack rallies, cover up for traitors and criminals, and even launch lynching campaigns to get some hapless prole thrown into prison to be raped and murdered just to prove they can. The number of hate crimes they generated with their lying is in the thousands, and all protected by an openly racist AG and his Prez. May they all get to experience the violence they generated.

I watched ALL of the major MSM 'journalists' blatantly and openly LIE about what a Presidential candidate had said, literally within Seconds of his saying it on national TV, and not even blink about openly lying, and this early in the Primaries; it got much much worse as the cycle went on. A few 'journalists' I had some respect for decided to become total scum, for no other reason than bigotry and peer pressure. There is no 'Fourth Estate' in this country. The Universities and colleges made sure it disappeared, and we know why they wanted to get rid of it, too.

They are scum, period. No need to worry about 'protecting' them, they're criminals and traitors themselves.

Trump’s unwarranted attacks on the press is reckless and irresponsible, clearly creating the conditions in which journalists might be harmed.

Indeed, when 55 fallen soldiers were brought home from No Ko several outlets didn't give it any airtime.
Others gave it less than a minute and one less than a half a minute. Our Media at it's finest.

 

[easyt65]

Liberal jurnos are pu$$ies. They can dish it out but they can't take it.

Acosta doesn't get Sanders to give him what he wants so he pouts and runs away....then calls on his 'unbiased' media pals to make anti-Trump bumper stickers and buttons and to join him and protestors out in front of the WH....

.....because after personally attacking Ssnders, Trump and others he feels like he's 'not in the United State's because citizens called him on his BS and failed to treat him like the media rockstar he thinks he is.

When Maxine Waters tells people to Harass what EXACTLY do you think she means?

Did I agree with it? No, but they are employees of the people, and the people deserve to have their views heard. Did she tell anyone they were enemies of the state and caused wars?

She told people to harass them EVERYWHERE. What exactly do you think she meant?

Do you know what the definition of harass is? I'll give you a hint, it doesn't mean kill.

Be VERY specific and quote where Trump told people to kill journalists?

He called them an enemy of the people. Read his tweet again:

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 16h16 hours ago
The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it’s TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!

THEY are the ones that purposefully cause division and distrust? They cause war?

Trump lies constantly. Do you expect the press not to point it out when he does? He just admitted he lied about the purpose of the Trump Tower meeting, but you guys don't care. He wrote the letter saying it was all about adoption, then he says to the world in a tweet:

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump 15h15 hours ago
Fake News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!

You don't care if he lies.

Please check out this article from November of 2017 and perhaps it will give you some insight as to just why people are so fed up with the media and their narcissistic drama. The big news right now is all about Trump and the Trump Tower meeting. The claim is that this is some kind of new story with new information yet when you read this article you see it's the same recycled crap.

Like showing 2014 pictures of illegals in cages and claiming Trump did this.............

Like a separation of a kid from his momma...........who was separated for having small pox.......didn't say that in the article now did they........

Like all the missing children lost under Trump............who were handed over to relatives under Obama..........

Yeah.................we should respect what they say now..............

Trump lied about it. He wrote the letter saying it was about adoptions, and then admitted in a Tweet this week it was about dirt on his political opponent. It's a pretty big deal when the President gets caught in a lie and only tells the truth when his personal lawyer is threatening to flip on him.

Much like Democrats created the hostile atmosphere and conditions to set some mentally ill snowflake off on an attempted assassination attempt of GOP politicians....

So you are pissed someone is using the Democrats' tactics against them. Too bad - suck it up, butter cup. They called down the lightning/thunder....they can deal with it....

That's because they ARE an enemy of the people. When you make accusations, that are false, as the MSM has repeatedly done, and violence ensues because of that false reporting...what else can you call them?

What accusations are false? There is a difference between intentionally making false accusations, and getting a report wrong or getting bad information from a source. Major news outlets don't normally run stories unless they verify it with 3 or more sources. When I started college at The Ohio State University my major was in journalism.

So what. I don't care what you did in college, I care about what the MSM is doing, and they are doing a piss poor job of reporting.
