A possible reason why Trump is trying to silence opposition media

Act like the media???? You mean if the ah in the WH doesn't like what they say they're all false??? If the pos doesn't get his back slapped or applause at every turn he's gonna tweet false news?

here's a bit of the latest news on the Trumpser and the media......

Trump will not attend the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, after a campaign and early tenure during which he has continually battled with the press.

Trump announced his decision on Twitter late Saturday afternoon. The dinner is scheduled for April 29.
 
Damn, I guess I missed where the 1st said freedom of a false, slanderous press. But then I haven't seen you out defending the free speech rights of preachers speaking about political topics form the pulpit either.

That is a curious twist that you are taking here, but I will play along. Preachers can say anything they want, including political endorsements, as long as they are willing to give up their tax exemptions.


So if their speech can be abridged I guess the press can too. Funny how that works, the founders enlisted the help of preachers during the revolution to help bring people around for independence and modern politicians try to silence them. But to this point I haven't seen Trump try to silence anyone. Go figure.

Where the hell did you come up with that argument? Nobody is "abridging" preacher's speech. They voluntarily do not make political endorsements because they prefer not to pay taxes on the donations they receive. There is not even the slightest parallel between that and journalists. You are so far out into left field that you have left the ball park.


Funny, it wasn't an issue for more than 200 years until a democrat got pissed about what they were saying, then the Johnson amendment was born. The parallel is quite clear, except democrats used the law and extortion to silence critics, Trump is only bitching about them and you folks are having a freaking cow. Sounds a bit childish to me.

Try to stay on topic. This thread has nothing to do with tax exemptions on churches.

It has nothing to do with the media being silenced either. Over forty pages without one example of the presses first amendment right being violated
 
It is my business and so is the rest of the Americans that didn't vote for this dude. He is my president and I would like to know if he is crooked or honest leader.
Where is his money coming from?


We already know.....the New York times stated there was no collusion.........moron.

So where is his tax returns? Your can dodge however you want but in reality he is hiding something sinister. Dude. Get real.
EXACTLY If he was honest and above board why not show them????? Answer ,,,because he can't, the lying dishonest sneak is afraid

Why didn't Hillary release her medical records? Why didn't Obama release his school transcripts and papers?

Using your logic they were hiding something sinister.

Neither of those are the standard.
Tax returns are. Trump has not met the standard

There literally is no standard. Someone's health and schooling are far more relevant than how much money you make. So why should we care about taxes and not more important things?

Btw why do you feel like we can talk about taxes when it has nothing to do with preachers being denied their first amendment rights are off limits

Alex Baldwin should take his place
 
Most right wingers who are now stuck with the Trumpster have NO choice but to condone all of the excesses this clown is imposing on our democracy.....and that is too bad; brainwashing is never pleasant to watch.

However, the current administration is well aware that there are very damaging leaks about the Trump administration dealings with Russian thugs just waiting to be exposed in the upcoming weeks (and probably some of these leaks will be from the Russians themselves in their quest to ridicule the current status of U.S. standing in the world's eyes.)

Given these realities, the oval office has launched a preemptive strike against our own media outlets (labeling them fake news) in order to "cushion" the blow of what these media outlets will soon reveal.

Whenever any organization is beleaguered by an onslaught of controversy, the organization retreats into its bunkers hoping that the controversy will be overshadowed by a more important exigency.

Ultimately this sham of an administration will not be brought down by so-called liberals, but by sane republicans who would rather lose a battle than a more devastating war launched by a charlatan under their banner.

We will be facing very nasty and contentious springtime months..

.
When they act like media they can be treated like media. Until then they should be treated as a political party affiliate.

I like it when the media is tough on government. When they report the news and not their bias.

so, Fox News is a Republican Party Affiliate, and Briebart is a Republican Party Affiliate, and the New York Post is a Republican Party Affiliate, and the Washington Times is a Republican Party Affiliate, and the DailyCaller is a republican party Affiliate etc????

Or is this applied only to the liberal leaning press and not the conservative leaning press?

:dunno:
It is applied to any press that uses a double standard. I'm glad to see him do it.

Crazy concept

There is. Every candidate for forty plus years has provided their tax returns. Trump is quite literally the only one who refused.
 
Here, I'll make it simple for your half brain......

Is abortion legal or no?

is an embryo a baby, yes or no?
Abortion is legal for now. Science will prove that it is murder.
Yes an unborn fetus is a baby.


Yes an unborn fetus is a baby.


Why do you imagine that those are two different words?

Is it possible that they are indeed not the same thing at all and describe the actual state of development the entity is in.
4 d ultrasounds are showing a fetus is a baby. It's only time before science proves it. So then are you gonna hate science?

Science has already proven it. But it doesn't matter to them. They ignore science whenever it doesn't fit their agenda. They think there are countless genders. They think temperatures dropping proves the planet is warming. They don't even admit there is a difference between men and women. And they think science is determined by how many people agree on a particular theory.

How do you educate that level of ignorance??
Friday was the warmest day on record for a february in Boston Repubs have little regard for science
That proves what?

But Hutch Republicans don't mind that he's a thief a cheating SOB why would they want to see his returns? and have it proven to them

If nothing else you are one step closer to admitting the media is the enemy by referring to them as the opposition, you could also supplant "media" with the word "party" in the next mea culpa

The media is always between something/everything and the American people...my post was just pointing out that 49 proved trump pegged them correctly as the enemy, and now you have as well.

It's the media that's sick with having to put a spin on everything. I read earlier that Clinton passed some law in 1997 that allows them to lie with impunity.

I'm thinking that could be repealed.

Well, now, that is for the same reason that Trump has not yet built the wall. He has been in office less than 6 weeks. But, I am sure that you and his other supporters take comfort in knowing that that is what he said should be done.
