Historically speaking, leaders calling the press the enemy of the people has ended-to put it mildly-incredibly badly.

You give him too much credit. He likes people if they’re effusive in their praise of him. Right, left, black, white - it doesn’t matter. He’s literally only capable of binary thinking of whether someone is nice or mean to him.
You think the press is your friend Tommy?
And what world might that be? The rate of job growth in the U.S. was higher during all of Obama’s admin than it has been during Trump’s. It’s not “historic” or whatever reality show term the Orange Idiot used.
Maybe the press should look in a mirror.
No, but I can certainly appreciate the role the Foruth Estate plays in a liberal democracy like ours.*
- note: not interested in republic parsing
Note: Then use the proper term.
A role or a threat Tommy?
As can I when it is done properly. Yet another necessary evil.
And do what? Uncritically repeat what the government says? StrIkes me as a weird attitude from someone who despises “centgov.”
That’s what leaders who call the press the enemy of the people do, historically speaking, and you cannot be unaware: first, strict censorship; then, closing down press that’s opposes them; then, arresting journalists; then, assassinating them.
It does. But then you wouldn’t know.
Then why haven’t you?
Your interests aren’t the interests of free Americans if you try to muzzle the press.
No, Tommy. Look in the mirror at their bias and then do their jobs.
Is that why libs want to shut down Drudge? Authenticate news?
Or did you forget this already?
Again, historically speaking, the very idea of a nonpartisan press is a historical abberation mostly confined to America that lasted maybe fifty years.
Also curious how you feel about conservative media that flat out shills for the Republican Party.
Who says anything about muzzling the press?
Are we not allowed to give the press ■■■■ when they deserve it?
I dunno if in a thread about biased journalism you really want to show how much you support biased journalism as long as it’s for your side.
