Trump admitted plot to "discredit" media - "so no one will believe them"

Trump never needed to discredit the media. They consistently prove that "fake news" is what they spew.

Just last week, they lied about what Trump said about "immigrants" when he was clearly talking about MS 13.

:lmao:

Busted again.

Is Fox News "fake news"? Where do you get your "credible" news? Names...?
 
Of course he did ;) He does this to all of his opponents and his base believes him no matter what. They're useful idiots as Stalin once said. lol

Yeah as the OP said it's not exactly new news. We (the responsible among us) have been screaming warnings from the rooftops about this dishonest troll-clown for three years and obedient Rumpbots are still in the fetal position going :lalala:

What's really hilarious - they think they are genetically superior. We all get our news from "somewhere" - so where do they get their superior news?

Foreign sources are the best. BBC, France24, der Spiegel, Hindustan Times and Al Jazeera to name a few. Many of them are left leaning but in their editorials and not on the front page. None of them are an extended arm of the DNC.
 


Trump admitted that he attacks journalists so “no one will believe” them.


Veteran CBS journalist Lesley Stahl told a story about President Donald Trump that likely surprised few of her media colleagues at the Deadline Club Awards Dinner in New York on Monday evening.

According to Stahl, Trump told her that he continually “discredits” and “demeans” the press for a very specific reason: to sow uncertainty about the media so that “no one will believe” negative stories about him.

The “60 Minutes” reporter recalled what happened when she and her boss met with the then president-elect at Trump Tower after he eked out a surprise win in late 2016. Trump eventually started bashing the press in front of them.

“I said, ‘You know, that is getting tired. Why are you doing this? You’re doing it over and over. It’s boring and it’s time to end that,’” Stahl recounted in a talk with Judy Woodruff of “PBS Newshour” at the Deadline Club event, which honors excellence in journalism.

“And he said, ‘You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you,’” she continued.

I already knew that - but it's nice to hear it from a prominent journalist that Trump actually said it. Trump has proven that this tactic will work on weak minds.



The very thing dictators do for the very same reason.

This is the Dark Ages for America. It won't be too soon that we finally see orange turd disappearing in the rear view mirror and normality return. Narcissist doesn't begin to describe Lying Trump. The psychiatrists were right, he is mentally ill. Literally.

There is no way to hammer into the skulls of conservatives the record of corruption of Republican administrations.

The source of political knowledge of conservatives under the age of fifty are the Republican rewrites of history, and the mythology GOP leaders have created over decades. For this reason alone this vast number of conservatives will swear Reagan was the savior of the U.S. and that Nixon was railroaded out of office and innocent of any wrongdoing, as were the White House Plumbers and Watergate Seven. They have no first hand knowledge.

That conservatives live in an "alternate reality" is nothing new, alternative facts, as they are called presently, have been the history of the Republicans for the past century, ever since conservatism hijacked the Party of Lincoln.

The politicians offered us by the Democrats are not much better than the crooks put forth by the Republicans. But every now and then, the Democrats throw average Americans a bone, and do something that helps the nation as a whole.

The Republicans have brainwashed their gullible base, convincing them the one percent are the ONLY Americans deserving prosperity. That low wages, poor and dangerous working conditions must be accepted by all employees, and socialism works ONLY when government programs benefit the super-rich and Big Business, exclusively.

One need simply read the frequency with which conservatives cite how prosperity is reserved ONLY for the very rich who rely on workers, but NOT for the workers themselves. At the same time, conservatives will boast of the success of "trickle down". Another weird and contradictory aspect of the alternate reality where conservatives dwell.

Conservatives' contempt for American workers is understandable, but should only relate to the low intelligence level and limited skills of conservative workers themselves. The conservatives' disdain for education and educated individuals is an admission conservatives alone should not expect a livable wage or respect from their employers. It must not be permitted encompass all American working people.

Workers with high skill levels, superior expertise, and/or post graduate degrees necessary for highly technical employment, must NOT be held back due the collective inferiority complex of conservative workers, caused by their own history of substandard productivity.

Nice post.

I find it interesting that some of the folks that liked it completely ignored this part. . .

"The politicians offered us by the Democrats are not much better than the crooks put forth by the Republicans. But every now and then, the Democrats throw average Americans a bone, and do something that helps the nation as a whole."

In fact, of late, they have been less than trustworthy. Both parties are disgusting, how folks can just ignore corruption in one party but not the other? It is completely beyond me.

I honestly can't tell the difference. The guy that George Herbert Walker Bush used to spy on the Carter campaign, the Obama admin. FBI used to do the same job on the Trump campaign, and now the CFR media is covering it all up.

Naturally, nobody even knows the story of what G. HW Bush did to Carter, so why should they know what Obama did to Trump?



The problem with all of these elites, is that to them, they don't see the nation through conservative/libel, Republican/Democrat lenses, that is just a position that is expedient, a role they have to play in their original home district when they start out. After they are an elite, they just don't give a shit. We saw that with Hillary's leaked emails in Wikileaks enough.



Politicians with integrity? Forget about it. The folks that buy elections don't want that, those are too damn expensive.

No doubt, but it has really been a right wing media tactic for the last 20 years.

FOX NEWS, right wing news sites and every right wing talk show host has convinced their half brained audiences that if news didn't come from them, it's FAKE.

Which is why FOX NEWS can get away with this on a daily basis.

Reminds you when Obama continually bashed FOX News, same tactic, different President. Something tells me you were okay with Obama’s bashing of right leaning media.

Shit, I’ve been saying that since he’s been president.

What Trump is doing is priming the public. He's working overtime to convince the American people to not trust the media. The reason is because he fears the media will be the ones who eventually expose anything illegal he may have done or will do. So in preparation for that big day when the shit hits the fan, he's hoping America will believe the lies he tells to cover up his wrong-doings over the media's reporting on them.
It’s beyond obvious.

It applies equally to the left as well. Dan Rather making up news, along Sam Donaldson and so on and so forth. By the left just attacking right wing news sources while letting left wing news skate is the same thing they are accusing Trump of doing. Over the last 6-8 years I see no difference in the rabid left or rabid right in their tactics to lie, distort and twist the truth. To me citing propaganda sites such as Breibart, Alex Jones, Mother Jones, National Review, Daily Kos, Huffington Post are dishonest and shows the posters bias. I tire of each side claiming to be better, it is just another lie.
 
Yeah, when the media said my cat was racist, and then they said broccoli hates latinos, I kind of figured we had a problem.

Its working
 
Trump is scared. He knows he's an illegitimate president. That's why he's in a panic about trying to discredit the free press and Mueller before that is proven to everyone - including his moron supporters.
I'm just laughing at you. Here, smell my butt

"Proof"? :rofl:

What, do you actually think every conversation everywhere is recorded?

If it was recorded, he would say it was faked.
 
Lefty media figures can cry all they want. If they were on the right side of this then they wouldn't need to mis-represent and mis-characterize just about everything Trump says and does.

If Trump is such a liar and such a danger, then turn off the bias and the emotion and turn-up the fact checking. It's better to fight fire with water, not more fire.
