    Trump has twittered;

    The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!


    Well, if it wasn't official, it is now;

    Trumps hatred for freedom of speech (NOT just towards free press but towards the human right to exercise free speech) has finally been declared, by him, his mortal enemy.

    He has now called upon the (American) people to consider IGNORING all forms of news if it's not news approved by him. (Otherwise it is, of course, FAKE news.)

    Trumps says, in other words; 'Listen to me only, the Great Leader, and forsake your own individual opinions and thoughts, for I alone declare the truths of the world'.

    I am not sure how much more to write to introduce this piece but; doesn't this strike anybody as bizarre? Just a little bit? Perhaps, oh I don't know, 1984-ish? Just a little bit?
    And here I was thinking it might be a quiet Saturday afternoon.

    Suddenly Trump has thrown us in the Apple commercial. Here it is again but THIS IS NOT A JOKE! This is reality for the American President has just considered the right of humans to think for themselves INVALID!

    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=apple+1984&t=ffab&atb=v43-7__&ia=videos&iax=1&iai=2zfqw8nhUwA

    But I'll be damned if Trump is gonna decide for me who I should and shouldn't listen to when it comes to my life. I recognize Paranoid Schizophrenia when I see it and Trump is clearly as paranoid as they come.

    Do not let his paranoid rhetoric infect you as well!
    For now, your mind is still your own.
    I advise; use it to your advantage to speak up against the Paranoid Dicator.

    And then, while you still have the common sense to do so, ask yourself this;

    Whatever happened to that vision of 1984?

    The answer;
    You might very well be living it.

    First your headline"BREAKING; Trump declares all media enemy of the American people! " is FAKE. The President specifically named "The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN", not ALL.
    The rest nonsense, the President has the right of free speech just like the rest of us and the media.

    I have no doubt you are an expert on it...those who live it know it best.

    Free press has not been restricted at all...they are free to lie just like anyone else, >>MOD EDIT Rule 2<<

    What a TOTALLY FALSE OP!

    NO, Trump did NOT say "ALL MEDIA" is the enemy of the American people. He specified exactly 5 - out of literally thousands.

    12 people were murdered in Chicago over Christmas. Therefore "EVERYONE IN CHICAGO WAS MURDERED OVER CHRISTMAS!"

    That is the level of dishonest of the OP message. Rather, it is just the 5 sources the OP follows that is the enemy of all Americans.

    I have posted dozens of times for weeks that CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, the NYT and LAT are the worst enemies Americans have. The only difference I have with Trump is his calling them the "media." They are not the press or media. They are private corporations functioning as PR advertising propaganda owned by the global super rich elites and mega international corporations.

    Of course the super rich elites, international corporations, and silicon valley mega international corporations want to destroy Trump. They are endlessly greedy, don't have enough billions and billions of dollars. They HATE that Trump does not support their using foreign sweatshops and imported foreign labor to drain the USA's economy, make as much money as possible regardless of how it hurts the USA, and want massed of immigrant labor flooding the USA to keep wages as low as possible and to serve as union buster scabs too if needed.

    Of course the "intelligence," neocons, defense industries, defense contractors and other war profiteers HATE Trump because he will cost them TRILLIONS in war profiteering. They have TRILLIONS of dollars off of the absurd 70+ year old Cold War against the Soviet USSR and Warsaw Pact - which has literally been extinct for decade - because they want TRILLIONS more dollars for the adversary that ceased to exist literally back to Ronald Reagan - who they also INTENSELY HATED OPENLY. Of course they want Obama's civil wars, world policing, military overthrow of governments, and terrorism all over the world.

    He did not say ALL. President Trump identified 5 out of THOUSANDS. But he is wrong in that they are not "media." They are advertising and PR marketing corporations for the wealthiest people and corporations on earth - shielding themselves from liable and slander and hoping people believe their propaganda because they USED to be media news and the press. But the super rich bought them ALL out years ago for their own profit and power motives.

    Where is Trump deciding anything for you? It's not like he's forcing you to buy a product or be penalized if you don't.

    From the tone of your post I get the feeling you'll decide who you want to listen to as long as it agrees with your outlook rather than reality. The media is intentionally publishing false and misleading stories and if that's what you want to believe then have at it, just don't continue that claim about being among the class of the highly educated.

    I agree with Trump. The Gazis (global socialist) control most of the media and the last people they want to benefit are Americans.

    Fake News is going to Fake News!

    Today's #FakeNews Freakout: OMG, Trump is Calling Out the National Guard to Round-Up Illegals!!!

    Or not. Maybe just a provisional early draft memo -- not even from the White House -- included a provision that states could call upon the National Guards for specific duty on the border, you know, like Obama himself did a few years ago when the Unattended Child Illegal Immigrant thing was getting some (minor) attention from the media and he needed to pretend to be doing something about it.

    Fkn embarrassing.

    They have a new strategy, by the way. Sometimes, as with the NYT Flynn transcripts story, they write a scarifying headline, but then, in the body of the piece, they admit there's no there there.

    But they rely on the headline to convey the opposite impression -- and they rely on the Blue Checkmark Mafia to retweet the (*)(*)(*)(*) out of headline only, with the implication our explicit claim that the article says what it simply does not say.

    The other thing they do, obviously, as the AP did here, is straight-up lie. But that's not a new tactic for this crew.

    Always read the article or the original documents. Getting freaked out? Is their viral hysteria infecting you?

    Put aside the false claims and primal yelps they're making on social media and go to the original article -- or, when they deign to supply it, the original document they're blatantly misrepresenting.

    You can insulate yourself from hysteria in that way -- don't buy into their second-hand telephone-game-of-hysterics method of reporting. Go the source, and walk way with an eased temper.

    Dear Media,

    We all watched you in tears on election night, on our TVs.

    We saw your crying. There's no denying it.

    And there's no coming back from that.

    Anyone who cries like a baby while on television over the election results cannot claim to be able to put aside his deep emotional reaction and behave professionally and detachedly in the months to follow.

    We know what you are. We've always known what you were, but seeing the hysterical tears flow was proof to the rest of the world who suspected but did not know.

    And we'll never believe a word you say again.

    GFY,

    The People Who Used to Watch You On TV

    There are no words left.

    The Dildo named Trump is an example of 1984 but it came 33 years after.

    Just the response I expected. You really think that just because Trump left out a few names he doesn't consider those his enemy?
    Donald Trump considers all media that do not report in his favor traitors of the nation. Tomorrow he'll denounce a few he praised yesterday.
    Trump has just, today 18.02.of the year 2017 (or perhaps 1984), send you a message that suggests the following; you should no longer listen to that what YOU think you should listen to.
    Trump will decide for you what is good and bad, news-wise. (But, hey, surprisingly all Trump news and even non-Trump news is bad news.)

    Today Trump will denounce the NYTimes for you.
    Tomorrow he tell ye to turn of CNN forever.
    (Obviously, adoring Trump, you'll do both.)
    The day after tomorrow he'll tell ye to tune in ONLY to his exclusive TV-station. (Yes, it's coming, he's working at it.)
    The day after that you'll only be eating Trump steaks for diner, because you know they are the best.

    Oh, and America is the land of rainbows and fairies and totally without crime or any sad people. His TV station told you so, right?
    Yes, it's gonna be a glorious revolution!

    Now, bow for your Great Leader Trump or he'll erase your *ss from existence.
    Like he did with reality...
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you still don't get the message that Trump wants to wipe your brain then he might already have done so.

    If you are asking that question you aren't paying attention. 100k national guardsmen to hunt down illegal immigrants that one was so obviously bad it didn't make it all the way to the top of the head of that particular agency, let alone come from the Trump Administration as the AP alleged in it's fictional tale. Then there's your favorite that the ex NSA chair violated the logan act too bad the FBI disagreed, then there is the ever present claim that Trump et al are Nazis racists or what ever other pejorative of the day you care to pull out your ass and that your friends if not employers at CNN and MSNBC have been so fond of.

    The media is trying to destroy Trump's presidency. He has a right to fight back.
    While he can't use presidential powers to close down the media he can use his voice to ask people not to watch or believe them.

    I don't know ...

    my first impression about Trump's press conference has been ... WTF?

    That wasn't a press conference. It seems he is still thinking to the electoral campaign.

    Ehm ... Donald, dear fried ... now you're in office! [You know ... that office with that curious oval shape ...].

    Then I have thought to the overreaction of the press to this Presidency. Why? Is US press politically oriented? Shouldn't press be politically neutral?

    I wonder ...

    I wonder, did Obama ever complain about the news organizations that he didn't like, say Fox News?
    Did Obama ever ignore Fox News in favor of the radical left wing press?

    The media outlets Trump cited are not media or press. They were for-profit corporations that were going belly up due to the Internet. The global super rich and mega corporations bought them out not really concerned that they lose money as they get hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate propaganda out of them, adding that many people believe their advertising.

    However, those PR propaganda wings of the global super rich elites are screaming, ranting, telling every lie and personality attack they can think of for another reason. They are becoming irrelevant. They know what few people do. Almost no one watches cable or television news and less and less read newspapers.

    The COMBINED viewership of FOX, CNN and MSNBC, the 24 hr news networks, is just over 6 million. Over 120 million people voted and there are over 200 million adult citizens in the USA. That mean that LESS THAN 5% of voters EVER watch ANY of those networks and only about 2.5% of adult Americans watch. Viewership of all 3 is aged and fading away.

    As a news source, they are not 1/10th as accurate, truthful or investigatory as the National Enquirer.

    Yes, Obama did.

    [video]http://video.foxnews.com/v/2123830948001/?#sp=show-clips[/video]

    The video is proof that Obama attacked all of the media in his self declared godhood and try to end all free speech.

    I think he just told people (again) to turn off CNN and cancel their subscriptions to the NYT and LAT.

    Huh. So Trump is against ALL news? He's unable to distinguish between real news and fake news? See, maybe people would like to explain the items listed in The Federalist:

    Early November: Spike in Transgender Suicide Rates
    November 22: The Tri-State Election Hacking Conspiracy Theory
    December 1: The 27-Cent Foreclosure
    January 20: Nancy Sinatra’s Complaints about the Inaugural Ball
    January 20: The Nonexistent Climate Change Website ‘Purge’
    January 20: The Great MLK Jr. Bust Controversy
    January 20: Betsy DeVos, Grizzly Fighter
    January 26: The ‘Resignations’ At the State Department
    January 27: The Photoshopped Hands Affair
    January 29: The Reuters Account Hoax
    January 31: The White House-SCOTUS Twitter Mistake
    January 31: The Big Travel Ban Lie
    February 1: POTUS Threatens to Invade Mexico
    February 2: Easing the Russian Sanctions
    February 2: Renaming Black History Month
    February 2: The House of Representatives’ Gun Control Measures

    The article concludes with the following:

    Think on it...
