Obama's War on The Press
We are told all day long that Trump is a fascist by the press and that he threatens a free press. Yet we are never told how other than Trump tweets what we already know, and that is the press is bias against him. CNN is there lying about such things as how Trump has created a travel ban on all Muslims, when in reality, it did not effect about 90% of Muslims in the world.
Yet Obama took some pretty nasty action against the "free press". He invaded the privacy of journalists to go after whistleblowers, much like Nixon breaking into Watergate to get the scoop on his political foes. Yet nothing was done about it, and by in large the press remained silent.
What the Left is upset over, I assume, is that Trump exercises his right to freedom of speech in defending himself, something they seek to take every day. They have taken such freedom away on college campuses around the country, they have even taken it away on such media as Facebook and Youtube, etc. And now they seek to finish us all off.
