This is not how the First Amendment works

There’s always a tweet.

Because they caught her.

It’ll be interesting to see if Trump or his handlers remember that executive orders have to be legal and constitutional. They can be overturned by Congress or the courts. He has plenty of recent personal examples to jog the memory. No matter. I’m sure that whole legality/constitutionality thing won’t be a huge concern.

He’ll just go back to ragging on them on Twitter again. Because that’s what he does. It’s like being the President is only a part time gig or something.

What do you imagine Trump means to do about Twitter? Shut them down, like he has CNN over the last four three years? :roll_eyes:

No clue. Will be entertaining I’m sure. Likely something ineffectual and unnecessary to prove his bravado to his base. Would be more entertaining if he did try something and had to deal with the fallout. But then he’d just go back to the old poor me/I’m treated so unfairly schtick and his base would eat that up as well.

Don’t look now, but it appears the Judicial branch is already weighing in on this.

Like his ineffectual and unnecessary treatment of CNN. Their ratings are as high as they were in 2016. :joy:

Are you saying his actions have made an effect on CNN’s ratings? An acceptable action of the president is to impact the ratings of private news organizations to match his appreciation for them?

Or are you saying he hasn’t made an impact? That he has been ineffectual?

Which one?

Is it their job to affect his ratings?

Don’t get hit by that moving goalpost.

Like I said it was easy to prove where they got it wrong. just like I showed how they could curtail his speech. But keeping moving them you might find that magical acorn

Was it the job of Fox News to affect Obama’s during his administration? Or Clinton’s running up to the election? Or does it only matter when it’s a “leftist” network affecting the “ratings” of a “Conservative”?

Well said.

Yep. I distinctly remember both of you calling for Fox News to be muzzled back in the day. No hypocrisy there. No siree.

Their only “job” is to affect their own ratings while delivering a product which doesn’t violate the law. They’ll try to appeal to a market segment just like the other news outlets.

Is it Trump’s job to affect CNN’s ratings?

Yes. Are you saying they haven’t?

I’m asking. Are you answering?

Yes. Are you saying that’s illegal, or something?

What were you asking? Was it in the form of a question?

It is a level playing field.

Don’t violate the TOS and you can post to your heart’s content on any viewpoint you’d like.

Still blows my mind that the conservative viewpoint still mostly dominates the narrative, yet a lot of conservatives still whine they are not being heard.
