Trump’s attacks on the media

[Tug]

Personally I think trump suing the media over stories he doesn’t like or as a way to criticize their editing reeks to me as extortion under color of authority as he controls the licensing of the networks.not to mention its an attack on free speach.

It'll only get worse with the increasing criticism of him and his administration.

You didnt care about free speech when it was conservative voices being silenced or covid related. You're a massive hypocrite, like most of the derangement posse are.

The MSM media, particularly in the us are Democrat backing activists, they lie, racebait and have been caused the divide in the country, along with the likes of Hillary Clinton and top level Democrats. Unfortunately this also spreads around the western world.

In a country like China, the media is controlled by the state. And this is a problem.

 

But free media / free speech presents a different kind of problem. There is so much contradictory information and so many lies that no one knows what to believe. And a lot of the media is deliberately inflammatory. 

 

So I think Trump attacking the media is not a one-sided thing. The media is way too corrupt. They can print just about anything without any checks and balances.

Ask just 1 critical question and you're fake news. Magaman loves it!

He's suing them for lying. If they are not lying, they have nothing to fear. 

 

Leftists like that the media lie, so they want to pretend it's a "free speech" issue, which it is not.

 

I do not remember anyone on the left getting worked up about Fox getting sued.

Because their anchor lied intentionally, and kept telling the same lie even after his producers warned him that he was lying. 

[darbie-foos]

And, his attack on fraud. First rate, governing for and protecting Americans from waste fraud & abuse. Anyone reading this needs to thank Trump, DOGE and his full on dedicated MAGA team of America loving patriots engaged, focused on fixing Bidens America destruction campaign he unleashed.

It's just not fair, don't they know who I am?

Don't they know how great I am?

Don't they know that I am the most incredible human being on the planet?

Don't they realize I'm the smartest guy in America? Don't they know how handsome I am?

I'm am so confused, flustered, unhappy and bitter.

Trump. Making America less relevant and shunned by the planet.

Doesn't seem less relevant to me. Its clearly on your mind every second of every day, and in a world news forum Trump/America get 90% of the threads. 

 

Don't let irrational fear and hatred blind you to reality.

He gets 90% of the world news threads because he comes out with bonkers stuff every single day and other world leaders don't. Simple.

Believe me there's nothing irrational about my fear, it is more about a circus clown passing ridiculously damaging policy and legislation, and bringing America down with it. Perhaps you should open your eyes to the reality that's happening right now. 

 

And believe me I think about him under 15 minutes every day, about the time I spend posting on those threads. 

 

And he richly deserves every word of criticism that I throw his way.

Quite astonishing how his devotees respond to criticism of their master. Total deflection. No interest in tackling or even discussing the issues. How lazy and uninspired.

And Faux News paid 780mil. ABC's lawyer costs would have been a lot more than 15mil. Cheap way out. Hardly capitulation.

Have you seen their ratings? Thy have lost what little credibility they had, and they will never get it back.

And trump doesn't do any of that?

 

You can't be serious.

The division of the country started in 2009, long before Trump.

Another denial from a devotee. Are you actually denying that Trump is a whining crybaby?

Never an answer, always a deflection. Criticise Trump and the reply is always "what about Biden, what about lefty blah blah blah, you must support Hamas terrorists and illegal immigration etc".

The cult can't accept a single defect in their glorious leader, can't being themselves to admit he has some fallability.

In the UK I support Labour. However I can criticise Starmer as I don't think he gets everything right and he's definitely made mistakes since coming to power, but overall he's a decent person and trying his best to turn around the terrible state the Tories left the country in. But he has made mistakes. He is a human, not a God.

But with Trumpists that can never even be considered, just go on the name calling attack. What a sad state US politics is in. The world looks on and laughs.

An answer to what? Silly leftists raving about Trump? 

 

A lot of things I do not like about Trump, but I like him better than the alternative. 

 

But because I do not want open borders, mass migration, higher taxes, men in girls' showers, DEI idiocy, little or no law enforcement, you and the other Trump obsessed haters say I am stupid and in a cult. 

 

The left had lost all credibility. They will say and to anything to retain and regain power.

Oh wow, saying the left has lost credibility yet you insinuate they want men in girls' showers.

Where do you come up with these childish accusations about people who disagree with him? "Lefties" want men in girls' showers? They want open borders, they don't want law enforcement? You think people who don't like Trump want all of those things? Are you six years old?

Anyway, come on then, tell me the things you don't like about Trump. Please. What are they?
