Government controlled news services always begin with the claim that media, newspapers or radio/tv is lying, dishonest, and can't be trusted and to some extent it's true now.The left seems to be the only ones pushing this lie that anyone wants a government controlled news outlet. It is interesting that you make the claim that Trump will enact such then post that he has done the exact opposite.Neither PBS nor NPR are controlled by the government. 85% of the support for PBS comes from the public and 98% for NPR. Had Republicans not worked so hard to strip government funding, Trump might have his national news service. Wow, wouldn't that be great, the Trump Broadcasting Service which broadcasts the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.Trump has said the poll numbers can't be trusted and the media can't be trusted, and the courts can't be trusted. If congress turns against him, then congress can't be trusted. I expect Trump's solution will be a national news service or something similar that is honest and is always truthful and of course controlled by the administration. It served the leadership quite well in Russia and in Nazi Germany and would probably serve Trump well.If America wanted a smooth transition and business as usual, we would have voted in HIllary.
The poll numbers A. can't be trusted, B if true are a result of traitorous malfeasance by the press, and C, don't matter.
Trump is learning on the job, give him time.
Oh, and that Court, stopping that EO? That hurt the court and the nation, not him. That was incredibly bad.
We already have two national news services: PBS and NPR, and they do serve the same exact purpose as Pravda and Isvestia. The difference is they do not publish what the administration wants unless the administration happens to be a Democrat. Like all government agencies, the government propaganda organs are staffed by an entrenched coterie of leftwing ideologues. The fake news they broadcast is designed to benefit themselves and their fellow government bureaucrats and employees.
You are fear mongering just like the left has accused the right of doing for the last 8 years and it is no different now.
Really? Can you actually support that claim with actual historical evidence, or did you just make it up? My knowledge of history indicates the later.
Then the leaderships begins claiming all criticism of the leadership is lies and false news. This only escalates attacks by the media. Eventually, it reaches a point where the media is completely unreliable and the public would welcomes a change. Who knows if we will reach that point, but you can bet Trump believes we have already.
That sounds like a leftwing myth.
