    "President Donald Trump complained Wednesday that his administration receives overwhelmingly negative coverage from network news outlets and floated the idea of pulling credentials from outlets whose reporting is deemed unfair by the White House"

    https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...entials-576798

    Guess he knows he has the White House's network sowed up so he has to go after the Network News given their numbers are ten times that of his own network

    It seems that along with his strategdy to totally discredit the Justice Dept the President is now escalating his attacks on the First Amendment, pretty scary when the leader of any democracy works to negate that which in a democracy are designed to purposely serve as a check on abuses of power

    Not even sure he needs to worry about it.
    As usual Trump was way ahead. he knows who the media are, he knows who they support and he knows they're not going to give him a fair shake.

    Hence he goes right to the people with Twitter, bypassing the corrupt media entirely and bringing his messages right to the people.

    How would it be an attack on the First Amendment? Liberals are not entitled to access to the President of the United States. There is already a limit to access; otherwise every single newspaper, magazine, and blogger in the country could demand access as members of the press. Just more liberal whining and attempting to make mountains out of molehills...

    Funny how the left loved limiting free speech when the democrats on the FCC championed it.

    You can limit access because of issues like overcrowding, but it is a violation of the first amendment to selectively deny access to reporters who otherwise have valid access because they express opinions with which you disagree.

    https://www.justsecurity.org/38173/...react-white-house-press-briefing-ban-cnn-nyt/

    And yes, floating an intentional violation of the first amendment because you consider every negative story to be a fake story is a mountain.

    Of course it was obvious even to a deaf, dumb, and blind guy that Trump was out to destroy the free press.

    If a reporter tells the truth about Trump, he feels threatened and labels them "fake". He knows the rubes will completely bleev whatever he tells them.

    With his fear of anyone who is critical of him, Trump shows he is a smaller man than even Obama was.

    Obama ignored his critics. Trump obsesses over them.

    Frankly, and I'm serious here, I think the news people that attend the daily SHS press "events" should simply stop going. All of em....They get nothing newsworthy out of any of them, just giving her a chance to shuck and jive past every legitimate question.

    Or, if that's too radical, they should appoint one (1) designated sucker each day to attend and ask all the questions for all News organizations then share the results as needed .... would also save the time of having them beg and grovel for the "privilege" of asking their questions. I find it disgusting when MSNBC covers it live (fortunately, not every day) and generally have to hit the mute button....

    EDIT - Fox can obviously continue their attendance...

    Really? Because (according to Media Research Center) Trump got/gets 90% negative press coverage. Which can’t possibly add up in the real world where his public approval is climbing, and the economy is growing, with record low unemployment, etc.

    The media and the democrats (sorry for repeating myself) have become the biggest joke across the country. The harder you girls try to take out a duly elected president, the more foolish you look.

    Hillary lost, get over it. Let her chug her favorite box of Chardonnay and cry herself to sleep.
