Poll: nearly half of republicans think Trump should have the authority to close down news outlets

[Billy000]

I guess the first amendment should have limitations. They didn’t think this before of course. Trump just tells these respondents how to think I guess.

“Better still not mess with that second amendment though! That’s the sacred one! That fits in with my narrative still!”

Nearly half of Republicans think Trump should be able to close news outlets: poll

The poll also found that 29 percent of the people polled believed the news media was the enemy of the people, a phrase coined by President Trump.

“But, when asked about whether the president should close down outlets like CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times, 13 percent of people polled said they believed that should happen, including 8 percent of Democrats, 23 percent of Republicans and 10 percent of Independents.“

Yeah, that whole article is cocksucking bullshit.

I would imagine if you asked the same people if professional wrestling was real; you'd get about the same percentage of people who think it is. The intelligence of a blob supporter cannot be underestimated.

No true Republican would be in favor of closing down a legal business.

But, let's not pretend that any 'news outlet' is anything more than light entertainment.

Oh good, then you should start a poll so we can verify you're just a mouth.

Hey look! Billy found another stupid poll and thinks it means something.

It means republicans reason like sheep in a cult. They need a republican to tell them how to think.

 

[Lysistrata]

Yet republicans will scream bloody murder if they think their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech or freedom of religion are being abridged (except when they want to impose their religious beliefs on others), and of course, their Second Amendment right to own an arsenal. But they don't think much of the Fourteenth Amendment and they certainly don't want to support a right to privacy.

This "fake news" crap has never been supported by any evidence that the major news organizations they attack have deliberately published something that they knew to be false. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

I wonder whether it will ever dawn on the asshole who now masquerades as POTUS that what he says at the podium today is broadcast live in real time, so the reporters don't have to take notes the old-fashioned way and go write it up. Anything he says into the mic today will be there tomorrow for all to see, even if he has misgivings tomorrow and tries to walk it back.

Although we are finding that news media are willing to sweep real news under the rug and social media is closing accounts they deem incompatible with their ideology. Whereas individual speech is being silenced and all the news is not being aired.

Any news outlet huh? So you get your information straight from Trump? Got it. That must feel comforting.

Such is the authoritarian right; that far too many conservatives have such contempt for freedom of the press comes as no surprise.

Those 44% should be flown out immediately to their destination of choice: Russia, NoKo, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia or Philippines. Wonder how they'd react if on 1-20-21, Biden were to shut down Fox, OANN and Sinclair?'

Tis sad, but true. The 20% of Americans who feel their Donnie should have a right to do this are deplorable, uneducated, autocratic buttholes.
