Discussion: CNN Prez Calls Out Trump's ‘Continued Attacks On The Media’ After Bomb Scare

Will the MSM,ABC,CBS,NBC and newspapers step up or are they afraid of Trump and friends?
Every news cast should open with Trump is attacking the First Amendment because he is a weak kneed sissy and can not stand anyone who exposes him for what he is.

Trump’s truthless and vicious attacks on the media, CNN, and Democrats are leading to right wing terrorism. Our country needs to be protected — from its own “president”.

Trump continues his attacks on the media because he’s a fascist. It doesn’t take a Pulitzer Prize winning, investigative reporter to verify that fact. His references to the media that doesn’t pander to him as “enemies of the state” should be a dead giveaway.

The problem is that the so-called “liberal media” act as mere stenographers, unwilling to risk access to powerful politicians by writing the truth.

Zucker’s statement is true but quite late in it’s issuance.

The fact that Trump has not been indicted for Incitement to Riot shows the paucity of judicial power and its corruption, useless now in the face of growing domestic insurgencies. Trump should have been indicted on felony incitement a long time ago. The country has gone to hell and can never find its way back now, too late, and the corruption is endemic and systematic, unresolvable except with revolution. Why hasn’t Trump been indicted, for this and other egregious crimes? Oh yeah, no responsible judiciary … almost forgot.

Bit sweeping. I could show you dozens of examples of reporters pushing back hard. You want to prove a negative? Or maybe dial that back a bit?

OK feeling cranky now. Have you ever been in a civil war/revolution/serious fist fight? Who are these revolutionaries you’re talking about? Who trains and arms them? Who pays for it? What form of government do we have when they manage to win? Have you given this one moment’s thought?

Rick Wilson, coiner of the axiom “Everything Trump Touches Dies,” penned a good column about Toadglans’ acute dangerousness today.

Time for you to read “Twilight’s Last Gleaming”.

I won’t dial it back in the least. Perhaps the hackneyed phrase, “main stream media” or major news outlets are the primary culprits. If we look at NBC, MSNBC, the NY Times, CNN, CBS, NPR, etc., we find an unwillingness to refer to Trump as a liar, racist, misogynist, fascist, ad nauseum in their reporting of news. “Civility” and both-siderism still prevail.

“Dozens of examples” relative to the millions of words written and broadcasts shown since Trump’s candidacy is completely immaterial. The media helped elect Trump and to defeat his opponent. They continue to propagate his regime with what he craves most, attention. These facts are self-evident. .

You and Trump. That’s what he says too.

OK, you’ve read a work of “speculative political fiction” about bad stuff that happens after the U.S. attempts to rob Tanzania of its oil. I’ll assume the answers to the actual questions I’ve asked are pretty much what I’d suspect.

Ding, ding, ding! You win for the most ridiculous comment of the day.

You can defend the corporate media for their lame both-siderism equivocations, but I won’t.

That’s a series of ill-informed assertions that aren’t self-evident at all.

Yeah go ahead and trash the free press just like Trump does - you say corporate press and he says fake news - same thing.

Corporate media, owned by large conglomerates, is a reality. Stating that fact is nowhere analogous to bellowing “fake news” at any criticism, however slight.

That you assert that they’re analogous is either disingenuous or reveals a profound lack of awareness.

Nowhere do I attack a free press. I contend that most in the national press have been derelict in their responsibility of telling the truth about Trump, for fear of endangering access to the politicians they solicit for “inside news”. I sincerely desire a free and professionally skeptical press, more concerned with informing the public then in furthering their careers in the corporate environment in which they serve.

That you consider these ill-informed assertions says much about you.
