    Trump is absolutely correct. The press is the enemy of the American people.

    It's not unAmerican to question liars who all parrot the same propaganda. That's not what the "press" is supposed to do.

    Trump foolishly placed a tax on Chinese imports, failing to account for the loss in sales by retaliatory tariffs placed by China, to the tune of $60 billion from the taxpayer, put on the credit card. Not exactly something to brag about.
    Biden lets China...

    Seriously? Lmao. Joe Biden controls international finance with his mind control rays. WTH are you talking about? It was a perfectly legal contract.

    Trump let China give trademarks to Ivanka. Get real.

    My question for you is very simple.
    Since there are at least 39% of the American people who support Trump, why isn't there ROUGHLY 39% press that agree with him?
    Why nearly 99% of the press is harshly against him? Why is this unanimity?
    Now it's time for you to find the answer in the history of the American press. When and how the concentration of media power happened in America.
    This will lead you to better answering this question:
    Who could be the real dictator?
    It's not that simple and superficial.
    Lady, stick to reality and truth. It's the only way.

    Yeah, and until COVID, the economy was doing much better. Hmmm... I'll take the actual market indicators as evidence.

    Sure it was completely legal, lol. Nothing improper about it at all. No conflicts of interest, lol.

    Because much of the press is owned by the same people that benefit from outsourcing US jobs?

    Except that's not what you said. You said the press was the enemy of the people. You scrape off a little piece of the Constitution when you say that. You send chills up the signers fossilizing spines. It's an inherently unAmerican thing to say. You are parroting Trump.

    The press is doing exactly what it's supposed to do in a free society. That you don't approve is irrelevant. You can question anyone you want. That's the beauty of a free society. If you think the press should fawn over Trump, you have AM drive-time radio, Fox News, OAN, Breitbart, WWG1WGA, anything federal.gov, Moscow, etc. Your complaint seems to be that all press outlets don't fawn over Trump. To that, I offer a tissue.

    Why do you insist nobody trust him when at least 39% of the American people do?
    Why does the press refuse to represent those American people?
    Out of some personal grudge?
    They are very powerful, aren't they?
    What is dictatorship?

    Gentleman, your prejudice has clouded your mind.

    If 99% of the press is lashing out against him, doesn't that say something? Oh, I know - fake MSM. Nevermind.

    Weak deflection. Back on track; Chinese tariffs on American farm exports. $60 billion in deficit spending, put on your kids' credit card. Don't you want your kids to have a better future?


    So, you got nothing.

    Ivanka Trump in the White House. Completely legal. Nothing improper. No conflict of interest.

    You got nothing.

    Media Coverage of Trump is most certainly and clearly biased.

    100% of the Chinese press lashing out at Dr. Li who whistleblew the Covid virus, doesn't that say something? Li must be very evil, only second to Trump.
    Lady, you may need to reconsider your political position.
    You might be on the wrong side and your one vote might destroy America.

    Your analysis is faulty. First, you haven't provided anything to support your numbers, whatever they are. How do you know 39% of the press isn't supportive of Trump? Maybe 43% is supportive of Trump. Who knows?

    Secondly, every voter isn't a news junkie. Many voters I know aren't consumers of MSM at all. Not even local news. If the media outlets are skewed disproportionately against Trump, as you claim, that could simply mean antiTrumpists are more likely to be consumers of MSM than Trumpists.

    In reality, there are many pro-Trump media outlets to choose from. FoxNews supports Trump. There's your 39% right there, so you really have nothing to complain about.

    That is not mathematically correct. The previous posted indicated the 39% of registered voters voted for Trump. It doesn't follow that 39% of the press approve of him.

    39% of America thinks Big Foot is real - is the press bound by some mathematical formula to run 39% of their
    stories about Big Foot as a real thing?

    The press doesn't "represent" the people. If the press represented American voters then 40% of the Press would never show up to work, because that's how many voters skip the whole voting process.

    If you think the press not displaying so many people's political stand is ok and such concentration of the media power is good, I have nothing to say to you except this:
    Free men argue to seek truth, slaves argue to look good. Sophistry is only for slaves.
    Your wrong vote will not only hurt America but everybody you love.

    Political disscussion is a very serious business for free citizens.
    Only slaves treat it frivolously.

    Funny, I've never had anyone call me 'LADY' when I was having a political discussion.

    I find the math argument to be interesting as well, but even using your example, we find that 39% of our time in the checkout line at Safeway is spent reading the headlines of tabloids - Bigfoot birtherism being a recurring favorite - so the free market works yet again. All manner of kookery is represented in all manner of media. Everywhere. That Trump has normalized this grocery store, NewsMax mentality is the true issue here, not the media pushback directed at such behavior.

    Indeed. A free press is a check on government. That's its constitutional intent, and that's what it's doing.

    No. That is a ridiculous statement. The media and journalism SHOULD not be about political partisanship. I recognize the fact that we live in a world with a lot of opinion based journalism but to me that is no different than a some dude blogging. Foxnews even differentiates between a opinion based entertainment section and a fact based news department. I have never studied journalism but I am sure the professional has a methodology on how they conduct themselves. Whether it be on how to determine reasonable sources and how to fact check information and how to investigate a story. They have editors and bosses that approve the stories and have legal departments to review for possible litigation. Just because a journalist is a conservative should not mean that they only report positive things about the administration. Chris Wallace is a perfect example. He is on Foxnews and seems to have a lot of journalistic integrity. He does not report only what his viewers want to see but what he believes is fair.

    Just because you voted for someone does not mean you have to always be on his side. I voted for Trump and often disagree with him. Particularly on his attack on tech companies. People in professions have to act in a professional manner based on the methodology of that profession. If you are a doctor and voted for Trump you have no obligation to support his opinion on treatment of an illness unless it is within you medical opinion to do so. We elect a civil servant to work for us, we do not elect a GOD to blindly follow.
