    And shut down media that he feels are lying about him?

    it seems a lot of the conservatives here are leaning that way. Let's get this out in the open.

    Trump is the underdog against the media machine. So far he is faring well so the situation with the media seems fixable.

    The news is supposed to give us information not drive propaganda and not undermine the presidency without cause. Right now, the media is inventing issues and running with those issues as if they were based in fact. I don't think the First Amendment was supposed to be abused in this way so eventually some sort of punishment has to take place if the reckless parts of the media continues to behave the way it's been behaving.

    From everything I see your position in inaccurate. If by chance you did a bit of research you would find the vast majority of "Negative" reporting on Trump is actually simply reporting what he says and does or reactions to it. Donald Trump seems to get quite upset when he is not complimented and his followers get upset that he gets upset. This "Fake News" garbage has gotten completely out of hand and become dangerous.

    Trump's sensitivity is one thing. The media's reckless "reporting" lately is a whole other.

    I can only assume by reckless you mean doing their traditional jobs...nothing has changed except your perception and bias.

    This is as ridiculous as Stephanopolous (sp) asking Romney if states have the right to ban contraceptives.

    See once again this is the biggest difference between the 2 parties and the most perfect example of why the left is an absolute pathetic mess. The right is fully capable of admitting that trump is an exaggerating narcissist. But the left has its head so far up its own backside that it is completely incapable of so much as slightly acknowledge that there is any flaws within their party whatsoever. Like you guys seriously cannot think of yourselves as anything other then 100% perfect in every way.

    It should be a crime to criticize the President by a licensed news outlet.

    WTF does any of that rant have to do with anything I typed and what makes you think I am on the left for stating truth?

    First off let’s not start the dumb “oh I’m not on the left.” That game is so weak.

    Second. You have repeatedly claimed that any criticism of the media or their reporting is wrong and that the media only ever “doing their traditional jobs.”

    Heinekin's pretty tasty, but I usually go for a pale ale from Deschutes Brewery (Bend, OR) or maybe a Hefeweizen. I'm workin' on a Mirror Pond (Deschutes Brewery) right now.

    Cheers! :beer:

    Troll thread.

    But considering that the first campaign promise Hillary made when she announced her run for the presidency was to amend the First Amendment, it's full of irony as well.

    Better idea is to allow the consumer to buy al-a-carte TV. CNN is shoved down our throats with these cable "packages" we have to pay for. Give us a-la-carte choices and CNN is DONE!

    So stating something one time is now doing so repeatedly? And you creating a new version of my wording makes it what I said?

    A better question is do liberals who seriously fear that trump is going to arrest lib journalists deserve free mental health treatment or should they have to pay for it?

    no we prefer CNN to keep it up. Theres no better way to help our cause than to let lefties freely talk to the public.
