Trump Calls News Media "The Enemy Of The American People."

[alismith]

Right on, Mr. President. You nailed it.

"The president has referred to the media as the “opposition party” to his administration, and he has blamed news organizations for stymieing his agenda. But the language that Mr. Trump deployed on Friday is more typically used by leaders to refer to hostile foreign governments or subversive organizations."



If the shoe fits; then wear it. And the shoe surely fits.

In an attempt to downplay his Tweet, The NYT has identified what it really is; a subversive organization. President Trump was right and The NYT played right into his hand....

Of course, they use most the the article to try and show why he's wrong....

But by trying to deny it, they are showing everyone that what he said is true.

Pretty old news (February of last year).

Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, we have the First Amendment in this country which guarantees freedom of the press.

The "Fourth Estate" -- a healthy part of any democracy, criticizing politicians and keeping them in check.

And unfortunately for our country we have a drive-by media owned by a few corporations that spews pure propaganda that is more BS than anything put out by Pravda during the cold war. As you probably know 90% of the drive-by fake news media is owned by 6 companies. They clearly brainwash the ignorant. Not sure how this is healthy for democracy. And another thing - your assertion is BS. The media never criticized Obama or others of his ilk.

Of course they did. It's all Fox News and talk radio did non-stop 24/7. Criticize Obama and the Dems.

Just like they're fawning over Trump now.

"The media" isn't just limited to the cable network conglomerates... it's anyone with a voice and a microphone. Or a YouTube channel these days.

The First Amendment protects them all.

Noble thought, but in practice, the Media supports the First Amendment ONLY when it benefits them.

They would, gladly, jump on the bus to silence Fox, Hannity, Rush, and others that see the Leftist ideology for what it truly is; an outlet that tries to create the news (as they want it to happen) rather than report the news as it happens.

There was a time when they followed the news; now they're creating the news.

And, Trump is calling them out on this.

So much that sites are shutting down speech from anything right of Stalin now.......No you lefties are full of shit. The only free speech is what you guys want to say and hear, the rest is sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.

Mass media isn't so much press as it is propaganda. In that light, they've always been the mouthpiece for the biased narrative given their editors by the ownership, and the ownership in a lot of cases is the same few people with an agenda. This is why they hate innernets so much, because we can speak our minds to the world, bypassing their mind control.
