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

[DrLove]

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.

Well, here's another opinion. USA Today essentially reports NEWS. They don't publish a lot of op-eds one way or the other. They do an excellent job with Sports and Entertainment, and print letters reflecting both conservative and progressive reader viewpoints.

USA TODAY media bias rating is Center.​

​

USA TODAY has a Center media bias.​

​

AllSides has consistently rated USA TODAY as having a Center media bias. This means that USA TODAY does not predictably show opinions favoring either end of the political spectrum — conservative or liberal. A Center outlet either doesn't show much bias at all, or its bias leans to the left and right equally at different times.​

​

It's important to note that sometimes, a media outlet with a Center rating misses important perspectives. Some believe USA TODAY's editorial pieces have a Lean Left bias.​

​

On Dec. 11, 2019, USA TODAY's editorial board published a piece calling for President Donald Trump's impeachment.​

​

A 2014 Pew Research Center study, "Where News Audiences Fit on the Political Spectrum" found USA TODAY's audience for political news is roughly evenly distributed across the ideological spectrum.​

​

As of April 2017, the majority of AllSides users who voted agreed with our bias rating of Center. As of July 2016, the average rating of all community feedback (agree and disagree) was Center, but much closer to Leaning Left. While ongoing research continues, the AllSides Media Bias Rating™ for USA TODAY remains Center.​

​

In an AllSides October 2013 Blind Bias Survey, participants rated USA TODAY as dead Center. A Blind Bias Survey is AllSides' most robust media bias rating method. We gather readers from all parts of the political bias spectrum, and have them read and rate articles blindly — without telling them which media outlet it came from. Then, we take the average bias rating of several articles from a given media outlet to arrive at our final bias rating.​

They need to decide are they a content disseminator or just a conduit for free flowing contact. Different regulatory requirements.

Ideologues on both ends can become authoritarians when given an excuse.

One of their many shared characteristics.

This isn't about both sides. Both sides are but supporting giving the president power to shut down the media. Both sides are not about giving the president the power to use law enforcement to investigate his opposition whether it's real or made it up. It's time to stop talking about both sides when you see that one side is doing the things discussed in this thread.

I see both sides doing authoritarian things.

Should I lie and pretend I only see one side doing it?

 

[HenryBHough]

Nope.

News "outlets" must not be shut down by government.

However traitors should be tried for their treason and, if convicted, be drawn and quartered on over-the-air (free) TV.

Have you made any headway with our resident idiots with regards to Black History education?

Nah. But that was expected. Right wingers have no concept of personal responsibility. They can only tell everybody else to take it but they never do. Just like they have no concept of freedom. They talk about it, but what it means to them is they get to do what they want and everybody else must live by the rules they make for all others.

No you don't. You are lying to yourself when you say that.
