the government should not choose who reports the news Trump's trying to manipulate/control the national press coverage, it's wrong, un-American “Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties,” said New York Times editor Dean Baquet.
Yes it has happened and I already posted that. Obama did the same thing to Fox News. Did you have a problem with that? I might be willing to entertain your issues here if the Press was indeed honest and had some sort of Integrity or could remain neutral to their political leanings but they have proven they cannot. The election results have only brought out their biases. The New York Times may be the most socially liberal entity in the country. "because the paper has demonstrated long before Trump arrived on the scene that they are unconcerned about those millions of readers, among their subscribers and potential subscribers, who are offended by their treatment of conservatives and Republicans. One might argue that this sort of journalistic and political myopia, in violation of every practice known to marketers of products of mass consumption, is within the Times' discretion; that if they want to cater, whatever the cost, to the biases and anxieties of liberals and Democrats, they have the right to do so. But what they don't have the right to do is to claim that this is the stuff of good journalism. It is, instead, a grievous injury to journalism, and to the country that, now more than ever, needs objective and balanced reporting by mainstream news organizations." It is absolute hypocrisy to demand that the President give access to a media that has shown its inability to accurately and fairly represent the news or the President. Eff the media. They deserve nothing.
The fuck it hasn't. It was off the chain with the last prez. I just got back from a wedding reception so I'm going to shut my trap til after I wake up tomorrow
truthfully I never heard about Obama vs Fox,.. I'd have been on Fox' side the press has the legal freedom to print what it will,.. the President does not/should not have the right to suppress journalists
Have ya bwoi Dean do some reading... "critic Brian Stelter (CNN) wrote the article. It begins: Attacking the news media is a time-honored White House tactic but to an unusual degree, the Obama administration has narrowed its sights to one specific organization, the Fox News Channel, calling it, in essence, part of the political opposition “We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. “As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.” You have to be kidding here. Answer me this question.... over the course of 8 years and 100's of press conferences, how many times did Obama give a conservative or right leaning press representative an opportunity to ask a question? Having somebody in the room but never letting them speak is just a passive-aggressive way of doing the same thing Trump did today.
disclosure: when the national health plan fight went rotten, I stopped watching network news, I'm ignorant about a lot of events,.. but Trump's so fucked up I can't ignore him I don't know, but if Obama was wrong, that doesn't mean Trump is right,.. the press has special privileges and those should be rigorously protected.
