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

[Esmeralda]

Not necessarily, but calling the free press the enemy of the people is what a dictator does. It is a free press. It is up to the individual to use his or her own critical thinking skills in order to decide what is truth and what isn't. When a dictator disallows a free press, he institutes a state press that only tells the story from his point of view, as is done in Russia, where reporters who criticize Putin are assassinated. Is that what you want? Only Trump's version of reality? Move to Russia or North Korea if that is the kind of controlled press you want.

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.

Only in your progressive addled head. It's the construct you create to keep up your "two minute hate".

The Dem's don't have to control the press, the Dem's ARE the press. Why resort to control when you have willing shills working with you?

That is absolutely idiot. You have some kind of mental illness. Over the top paranoia that skews your ability to see reality. Get help.

Yes, because ranting about Trump being a embryonic dictator isn't paranoid....

and the word is "idiotic"

He is a wannabe dictator: take the blinders off. He won't make it because our Constitution and government are too strong, but he sure wants to be one. You people, Trumpettes, are truly dysfunctional and sick.

 

[Esmeralda]

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

You're as bad as he is.

So we have completely unbiased news in this country?

Not necessarily, but calling the free press the enemy of the people is what a dictator does. It is a free press.

Is that what you want? Only Trump's version of reality? Move to Russia or North Korea if that is the kind of controlled press you want.

But if we did as you seem to think have unbiased news in this country then it wouldn't matter what channel you watched would it?

There is a HUGE difference between what you consider "bias" and being
the enemy of the people" We KILL enemies. Your rhetoric is dangerous to a free society

Not necessarily, but calling the free press the enemy of the people is what a dictator does. It is a free press.

For the moment

The press isn't free, in fact the press is a slave to television ratings and click numbers on the web

It is free of government control...which is what the Constitution concerns itself with

It's not very free from "the government" when Clinton is vetting articles before they are published.

LOL Who told you that? Hilarious. You believe everything the RW media spews no matter how outrageous. Too funny.

The press isn't free, in fact the press is a slave to television ratings and click numbers on the web

News outlets want to make the people who buy ads happy and really don't care about the news or the truth.

And I do think that biased news sources are harmful to the public

They are free to say what they want: they are not controlled by the government. You don't understand the nature of a free press. If any journalist allows him/herself to be influenced by someone else, he is free to do so. Period. A free press means it is not controlled by government. Duh.

The news corporations in this country are worthy of criticism.
And what has been done to suppress any news corporation or reporter from reporting anything?

You people are the kind of people fascist dictators love: you believe all the crap your RW media spews, and crap is what is spews.

 

[Meister]

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.

Looks more like you are the one that is blinded

The fact is that he is a total fuck up and they are reporting that: they are reporting the TRUTH! Period. They didn't report a lot of lies about Junior or other Republican presidents, and they aren't reporting lies about Drumph: just the facts, which are that he is a total fuck up. End of. Get a brain. Your people are the kind of people fascist dictators love. Trump whines constantly about 'fake news' whilst telling a continuous stream of lies on a daily basis and you believe him. Why? Haven't you got any critical thinking skills at all???

Sounds more like your opinion is spewing through with your typical hate. Very little of what Trump does gets reported, and seems that around 90% of what

Watch: A furious Tampa crowd screams at the press, just as Trump intended

It took a lot of years to get to this point. Those dregs are still docile. With the free press comes responsibility. That was thrown out decades ago. The rise cable TV has turned the 4th estate into a travesty.

LMAO The only thing you care about is the economy. Hitler had a great economy, that doesn't mean he was good for the country. Trump has been doing things that cause ruination to our country: ruining the environment; encouraging racism, bigotry, hate speech, and violence; demeaning and humiliating us worldwide, alienating our allies, invoking anti-humane actions done in the name of our country, and on and on. If you would wake up to reality, you'd see it. He is rated lowest by presidential scholars as the very worst president ever. He is a complete fuck up. Wake up.

 

[JimH52]

TRUMP..is the ONLY American President who EVER called a free press "the enemy of the people"

Such a thing would have been the end of ANY other Presidency ...in ANY other period in history.

I am pretty sure Hitler said it a couple times.

You seem to run on emotion, might try Midol and see if that works for you.

LMAO The only thing you care about is the economy. Hitler had a great economy, that doesn't mean he was good for the country. Trump has been doing things that cause ruination to our country: ruining the environment; encouraging racism, bigotry, hate speech, and violence; demeaning and humiliating us worldwide, alienating our allies, invoking anti-humane actions done in the name of our country, and on and on. If you would wake up to reality, you'd see it. He is rated lowest by presidential scholars as the very worst president ever. He is a complete fuck up. Wake up.

You are incredibly ignorant and you spew leftard talking points like the little marxist wannabe that you most certainly are. The lamestream media has been a joke for decades and while mis-informing the moron millions, media giants have consolidated these entities into fewer hands to where now 6 conglomerates control 90 percent of ALL media. This is why they fear alternative news outlets and are using their wealth and influence to silence them.

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......

Where you go wrong is in believing we have a free press. What we have is a thoroughly indoctrinated and brainwashed press.

As an amateur student of history, a chill went up my spine the first time I heard Trump spout that crazy shit

You're a student of pure idiocy.

 

[Dragonlady]

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

It's working for Trump. He doesn't care about the people. He lies and lies, and then gets angry when reporters point out he's lying.

 

[bripat9643]

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.

Only in your progressive addled head. It's the construct you create to keep up your "two minute hate".

The Dem's don't have to control the press, the Dem's ARE the press. Why resort to control when you have willing shills working with you?

That is absolutely idiot. You have some kind of mental illness. Over the top paranoia that skews your ability to see reality. Get help.

Yes, because ranting about Trump being a embryonic dictator isn't paranoid....

and the word is "idiotic"

He is a wannabe dictator: take the blinders off. He won't make it because our Constitution and government are too strong, but he sure wants to be one. You people, Trumpettes, are truly dysfunctional and sick.

You claim is non-falsifiable. It's total bullshit, in other words.

The so-called "reporters" lie 10 times as much as they claim Trump lies.

it is amusing how the left has been going on the defense the past few years when there fake news has been exposed.

[bripat9643]

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

The fact is that he is a total fuck up and they are reporting that: they are reporting the TRUTH! Period. They didn't report a lot of lies about Junior or other Republican presidents, and they aren't reporting lies about Drumph: just the facts, which are that he is a total fuck up. End of. Get a brain. Your people are the kind of people fascist dictators love. Trump whines constantly about 'fake news' whilst telling a continuous stream of lies on a daily basis and you believe him. Why? Haven't you got any critical thinking skills at all???

Sounds more like your opinion is spewing through with your typical hate. Very little of what Trump does gets reported, and seems that around 90% of what
is reported paints him in a negative light. He has done a lot for America, it's just not reported by the msm.
I have shown you evidence on just how wrong you are and you ignore that.

Wrong, turd, the Dims have been doing all the racism, bigotry, hate speech, and violence; Hillary paid people to beat up Trump supporters, and douchebags like you defended it.

We have woken up to reality. That's why we voted for Trump

 

[bripat9643]

So we have completely unbiased news in this country?

Not necessarily, but calling the free press the enemy of the people is what a dictator does. It is a free press. It is up to the individual to use his or her own critical thinking skills in order to decide what is truth and what isn't. When a dictator disallows a free press, he institutes a state press that only tells the story from his point of view, as is done in Russia, where reporters who criticize Putin are assassinated. Is that what you want? Only Trump's version of reality? Move to Russia or North Korea if that is the kind of controlled press you want.

The press isn't free, in fact the press is a slave to television ratings and click numbers on the web

News outlets want to make the people who buy ads happy and really don't care about the news or the truth.

And I do think that biased news sources are harmful to the public

They are free to say what they want: they are not controlled by the government. You don't understand the nature of a free press. If any journalist allows him/herself to be influenced by someone else, he is free to do so. Period. A free press means it is not controlled by government. Duh.

The news corporations in this country are worthy of criticism.
And what has been done to suppress any news corporation or reporter from reporting anything?

You people are the kind of people fascist dictators love: you believe all the crap your RW media spews, and crap is what is spews.

Ironic.

Actually, it has become the propagandist arm of the Democrap Party which has pirouetted to full blown far, far leftist Socialism, ready to regain power so it can morph quickly into Stalinism.
