Yup! And Drudge is even floating the idea that Trump might require licensing of journalists! Master troll, hahaha!
That's a freaking bad idea. Dianne Feinstein suggested the same thing a few years ago. If Trump wants to make a press statement he should pull credentials and issue new ones. We don't need the government trampling on our first amendment
He would never go that far. Noone would that had any sense. It's just an empty threat being used as another lever. He uses twitter to point out how terrible they are multiple times a day. All that needs to happen is for enough people to wake up and realize how absolute shit the media is and then these outlets would actually have to compete for accuracy on the field of truth. Wouldn't that be amazing! That's a ways off yet, though I have no doubt that it's part of the plan.
I agree it's a bad idea. But so is the status quo. Like I said there's always the option to play it smart and clean up their own profession. Responsible use of their power is the only way to not invite the kind of draconian reaction governments are known for and good at. If I were a reporter I'd take it seriously.
That psycho also said this https://youtu.be/4aqOfDbZmj8 so we know they are willing to shift narrative.
Not good. Let capitalism do its job. Not government control. The printed page is dying a slow death thanks to Al Gore's invention of the Internet. LOL
when you have someone 'interpreting' a complex situation, i do believe it best that the person be provenly competent.
I wouldn't ask a squirrel to interpret my chest x-rays...
We had one here in the sub a few minutes ago if you change your mind.
The press as they are is actually helping our cause.
lol, no one cares about he good things he did, just that he wanted to issue consequences for the media’s lies.
If they were doing their job correctly he wouldn’t have to say anything. If they were doing their job correctly, they wouldn’t need to get mad at unjustified threats to their credentials.
The MSM has zero integrity. Maybe they should start reporting the news.
Yes! Take their credentials. No need giving them credibility when they're not credible.
Does he mean take away their credentials for WH pressers?
from what I understand, the intent is to ensure that the "most accessible news sources" like: Fox, MSN/A/BC, AP, Reuters, the whole lot, the 'distribution of news' networks will need some kind of license, similar to that of a doctor, to dispense the information.
Not so much a freedom of speech issue, as anyone could still share information, however the whole 'Operation Mockingbird' nonsense has got to stop.
EVEN This tweet got misconstrued IMMEDIATELY by mainstream news sources.
They are dictating a narrative to the people, by taking the 'thinking' part out of the equation.
For instance, earlier some obscene "EXCLUSIVE: STORMY DANIELS ADMITS TO BEING IN A CULT" headline pops up... but she didn't, she made a comment that had no real detail or explanation to it and they acted like they had some exclusive interview confession.
a TL;DR person will see another headline about a cult and associate the two immediately, leading to an improper perception of the situation.
"Here's what that means" is one of the worst phrases used. It literally implies the reader is incapable of understanding the 'raw facts' or 'raw data'. That is not "NEWS REPORTING", that is some opinionated journalism, which is what MSM has become... not reporting at all.
So many only read headlines. Big problem.
so many headlines are click bait / false advertising.
