McCain criticizes Trump calling media 'the enemy': 'That's how dictators get started'

The press, from Maddow to Limbaugh, holds gov't feet to the fire. Free press = free country, but Trump doesn't want that. He wants adoration, which he gets plenty of from the right. From the press he gets held to support his nonsense, such as his latest confusion about Sweden. The press pulled his pants down on Sweden, he's been sucking his thumb ever since.

lol@trump - what a jerk. The man's an embarrassment.

 

So, now, you'd use a bigoted slur? As if, somehow, the expression of homosexual love is wrong? Hmm. We've always known that liberals aren't the friends of minorities. Thanks again for providing yet another example.

 

You can find dozens but you post none.

At the same time, Attkisson’s reporting on the Obama administration, which some staffers characterized as agenda-driven, had led network executives to doubt the impartiality of her reporting.

Reached by phone, Attkisson described her resignation as “amicable.” She said she will now turn her attention to the book, which is being published by HarperCollins, a division of NewsCorp.​

Discredited former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson will host a weekly news show on Sunday mornings starting October 4 on Sinclair Broadcast Group stations, which include ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox affiliates. Attkisson has a lengthy record of shoddy, inaccurate reporting, and she has pushed a bizarre conspiracy theory that the government hacked her home electronics.

Sinclair, with its biggest concentration of stations in the South and Midwest, has a history of promoting conservative thought. Sinclair executive Mark Hyman distributes commentaries to its stations. The group told its ABC stations not to run a "Nightline" episode during the Iraq War because it was judged unpatriotic. Livingston said Sinclair believes most media leans to the left,​

So they dumped a reporter who had become an ultra-right conspiracy theorist. Good.

Likewise. But for me the first lesson was how to make a cot up properly.

 

The choice I'll make is to call you out on your BS.

You may or may not prove anything to me about the substance of your allegations. But, by posting crap and then failing to provide evidence for that crap proves that all you can do is post unsubstantiated crap.

Donald Trump had sex with his daughter. ​

There, I've just posted unsubstantiated crap. Search the internet and prove me wrong.

 

Definitely bears repeating.

 

Here's my proof, do you have proof for your statement about McCain? Also, have you ever been tortured, like McCain was?

Trump received his first two student deferments while enrolled at Fordham University in New York City in June 1964 and December 1965. He transferred to Wharton as a sophomore that year and received another two 2-S deferments in December 1966 and January 1968 during his last year of college.

He was classified "available for service" (class 1-A) in November 1966, but just three weeks later in December 1966 he was given a new student deferment.

Upon graduation Trump, the son of a wealthy New York City real estate developer, was no longer eligible for student deferments.

In October 1968, he was declared medically unfit to serve except "in time of national emergency," even though he had been declared fit to serve in 1966.

In 1972, Trump was ultimately declared ineligible for service and given a final 4-F deferment.

But that's the whole point. Hitler was not a dictator when he began attacking and restricting the press - He was Chancellor.

• Hitler was appointed Chancellor in January, 1933.
• During the first weeks of 1933, the Nazi regime deployed the radio, press, and newsreels to stoke fears of a pending “Communist uprising,”

Trump started attacking the press when he was just a candidate.

 

And what was McCain's big claim to fame? Getting shot down over North Vietnam? He needs to sit down, shut up, and enjoy what's left of his life instead of making an ass out of himself... again! Shot down in Vietnam, and shot down in the 2008 election. Give it up, John. Sad to say, but nobody
cares what a squishy-assed RINO like you thinks about ANYTHING....

. "Ooooh! I was happier before I smelled my own fingers...."

 

The simple truth is unless you are willing ignorant or been living under a rock you already know about the DNC leaks. No I take that back, even people living under a rock have heard about the DNC leaks.

 

Really? Did the press hold the "gov't feet to the fire" throughout obama's 8 years when obama was blatantly violating the Constitution? Nope. But when Trump does exactly what obama did, then the press decides it needs to monitor and stop the govt.

The press is the propaganda arm of the "progressives". Its just that simple.

 

Obama criticized Fox News multiple times. The liberals cheered. No mention of how it was just like the Nazis.

Trump criticizes the liberal media outlets and we get the expected response from the very same people who had cheered.

Leftists are nothing if not totally predictable. This whole "everyone's a Nazi (that I don't agree with)" idea is not only absurd, but is counter-productive. Please keep at it leftists, as it only resonates within your echo chamber while further alienating the more reasonable members of society.

 

A weak attempt to obfuscate his love and devotion to a despotic tyrant. Russia likely has something on trump which is why he's determined to drop to his knees for Putin whenever he can. The real question is why are his apologists so ready to make excuses for Putin.

 

Definitely bears debunking.
Calling out the press for it's agitprop cheer leading is not taking control of it unless one considers any criticism of it to be "taking control" which then makes one realize how nervous the Government Approved Media is their jig is up.


Considering that just 32% of the public trusts the media (what cave do they live in?) I'd say the jig IS up. http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx

 

The media criticize Trump and call him out for his lies. He calls them the enemy of the American people.

And, you know, popular opinion is hardly equivalent to truth. Masses of people believing something doesn't make it so. The media regularly debunk Trump, but Trump never debunks them. The facts are on the media's side.

 

(All emphases mine)

The real truth is that you posted:

I've asked, multiple times, for you to provide evidence for your allegation that "most of the media get their marching orders from the DNC".

You've evaded by telling me to look it up
You've evaded by changing the subject

But, you still have not provided any evidence for your allegation that "most of the media get their marching orders from the DNC". It's clear by now that your allegation is nothing more than complete Bull$hit.

Worse yet is that it's not even your own original Bull$hit phrasing, it's just crap you cut and pasted from pro-Trump sites.

The media get their marching orders from the Obama White House.​

In other words, this is where the liberal media get their marching orders.​

The Rothschild's own the Associated Press and Reuters, from where all the main stream media get their marching orders​

It's pretty clear where you and other Trump supporters get your marching orders, you copy and paste from one another and pretend to have original thoughts.

 

You can cry, stamp your feet and call me biased but it doesn't change the facts. The DNC and media were caught colluding with one another. i say again the only way one doesn't know about their love affair is one who remains purposely ignorant.

 

He has the authority if he got some people to vote with him to be the counterpoint in the GOP to Trump and could sway the process his way more, so he needs to do something sensible or stop talking - actions would matter more.

 

No. The real question is why you feel that you can denigrate folks. Hate to break it to you stud, but you getting a little chubby over an image of two guys fellating and then deriving some sense of superiority seems more a personal issue than not.

You call it crying and stamping my feet. I call it exposing your deceit and ineptitude. You made an allegation you couldn't support.

You've evaded by telling me to look it up
You've evaded by changing the subject

Now, you try to shift the focus from "Marching Orders" to "colluding".

Let's stick to one nonsense allegation at a time. I've asked, multiple times, for you to provide evidence for your allegation that "most of the media get their marching orders from the DNC". So far you provided no evidence. Even you must realize how much you are embarrassing yourself.

 

The only embarrassment is the media being in the tanks for the DNC. The truth is out there find it or don't. Time is money and you don't pay me enough to find it for you

 

(All emphases mine)

• You post Bull$hit.
• You can't support the Bull$hit you posted.
• You tell me to find support for the Bull$hit you posted.

I guess you don't realize how much you are embarrassing yourself.

 

Here you are denying what the world knows. Hell the DNC spent half a year blaming Russia for exposing their lapdogs. Call it bull (*)(*)(*)(*), tell me I'm an embarrassment but at the end of the day you are the one willingly ignoring reality so your opinion matters less to me than belly button lint.

 

What has he done to take control of the press? Would seem McCain and those who agree with him believe that the press should be immune from criticism. Which is absurd.

 

Despotic tyrants deserve nothing but disdain. Perhaps you should question why you admire one so much.
