Who else has made the claim that, "the press [media] is the enemy of the people"?

[Carl in Michigan]

Well, besides our "beloved" demagogue-in-chief, other notable world leaders have uttered the same exact sentiment. Among them we have had:

Stalin
Mao
Nixon
Duerte
Chavez

Reality is a bitch......

You have said the same about Fox News, Drudge and Rush Limbaugh

Get there behind me Satan!

No, what a dictator does is actively suppress any free press, and replaces it with government versions of said press.

Any dictator that just mouths off about a hostile press and doesn't do anything about it is a piss poor dictator.

What we want is a press that isn't comprised of Democratic party lap dogs, apologists, and fellow travellers.

Drumph is a wannabe dictator: fortunately, so far, in America he cannot become one and suppress the press. The Democratic party has no control over the press. If you think so, you're an idiot.

Why would the democrats need to control the press, the press is complicit with the democrats.

You are believing all the crap your RW nut cases tell you. They are skewing your reality. Get help.

Seriously? There has been studies done to prove the point. You want to arbitrarily deny it, feel free, I'm not here to change your mind.

How Biased Is Your Media? (Ep. 62) - Freakonomics

Looks more like you are the one that is blinded

Freakonomics is hardly "scientific research". It's pop nonsense.

And besides that...you're trying to claim that if the press biased in a liberal direction ( I would argue that it is biased in a CORPORATIST direction) that it is "the enemy of the people"?

That's a HUGE and dangerous and illogical leap my friend.

That's why I posted other studies, Lesh.
Just keep denying every one of them, it's what you people do.
I'm sure you have studies to back up your claims, you just didn't post them.
I just need to take your word for it.

 

[Crepitus]

So you think that purposefully disingenuous reporting and the favoring of opinion over facts is good for "the people"?

View attachment 247012

I don't deal in the hyperbole of the left

So what if Trump said that

It certainly seems that most people don't believe it even if like me they are more than skeptical of the news corporations in this country

Still not gettin' it are you.

/—-/ Obozo said our Construction was fundamentally flawed. Who else ever said that?

Lincoln.

Obama said "I think it is a document that reflects some deep flaws in American culture, the Colonial culture nascent at that time." on the topic of compromises made to keep slavery rather than do away with it.

I agree that comprising on race based slavery in the writing of the Constitution was a flaw as well. That's why we amended it when others came to that agreement.

But yeah, white Supremacists really wish we kept it as it was.

/——/ You forgot this part of Obozo slamming the Constitution.
the Democratic presidential candidate said in a radio interview the U.S. has suffered from a fundamentally flawed Constitution that does not mandate or allow for redistribution of wealth.


In a newly unearthed tape, Obama is heard telling Chicago’s public station WBEZ-FM in 2001 that “redistributive change” is needed, pointing to what he regarded as a failure of the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren in its rulings on civil rights issues in the 1960s.

Embracing enslaving an entire race of people in perpetuity was a fundamental flaw, it was also a near fatal one , but I'm afraid it was a necessary one.

"I don’t think the two views are contradictory, to say that it was a remarkable political document that paved the way for where we are now, and to say that it also reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.”

When the press becomes a political arm for state run propaganda it is an enemy of the people. We don't have objective journalism in this country anymore. We have a media that pushes a personal narrative onto the public.

Here are some scenarios for Trump cultists to contemplate regarding this thread's topic.......

When the Access Hollywood video was exposed, should the media have overlooked it???

When Trump asked the Russians to find Clinton's emails, or when he told Russians that he fired Comey to ease the pressure on him because of the Russian investigation, should the media have overlooked those statements?

When Manafort, Flynn, Gates, Papadapolous, Gates, Page, er all were sentenced or indicted, should the media have overlooked it?

/—-/ And how do the other networks separate their news departments from their entertainment?

“Fox News has redefined television journalism by fundamentally transforming it from an information medium to an entertainment medium. They dress up their pseudo-news segments in the same melodramatic packaging that entertainment outlets use: conflict, scandal, mystery, and hyper-charged emotions including hero worship and fear.

"Fox employs flashy graphics and attention-grabbing audio whooshes and gongs to decorate their reports that are presented as ‘ALERTS’ regardless of the news value. And always there is sex. Fox’s roster of hosts has more former beauty pageant contestants that journalists. And they aren’t shy about putting their ‘talent’ in revealing clothes and camera angles. In fact, Fox CEO Roger Ailes demands it. As for news, Fox’s concentration on tabloid thrill-fiction like Benghazi and Obama’s birth certificate is the news equivalent of porn.”

 

[nat4900]

When the press becomes a political arm for state run propaganda it is an enemy of the people. We don't have objective journalism in this country anymore. We have a media that pushes a personal narrative onto the public.

Reporting on the daily (almost hourly) fuck ups by Trump is not "bias"........Trump's constant tweets and racist statements and non-ending lies speak for themselves.

If right wingers like you don't like the reporting of Trump's tweets, for example, tell the orange clown to STOP tweeting at 3am.
