America is now only 45th in the world for press freedom

Trump calls out the media on fake/ half truths and biased news story's and these retards call it lack of freedom of press?

Far more Trump is trying to use the press as an excuse for all his lies Bear

The man simply has no shame....

Interesting topic. Our watch dog media, a check on the republic and politicians, is going down in smoke. Based on the comments here, POTUS apologists are clapping and cheering all the way down. Just so they can say or think "we won, we won!" POTUS and republicans are laughing all the way to the Treasury and back, once again.

This is shameful and isn't helped by Trump's trashing the media.

America is now only 45th in the world for press freedom


There are 180 countries evaluated annually on press freedom by Reporters Without Borders, which notes a "growing animosity" worldwide towards journalists. "Hostility towards the media, openly encouraged by political leaders, and the efforts of authoritarian regimes to export their vision of journalism pose a threat to democracies," the World Press Freedom Index says in summary of 2017.

Norway is in first place on the list for the second year in a row, followed by Sweden. North Korea is in last place at 180th, with Russia (148), Turkey (157), and China (176) close behind.

"The U.S.'s decline in press freedom is not simply bad news for journalists working inside the country; the downward trend has drastic consequences at the international level," adds Reporters Without Borders. "'Fake news' is now a trademark excuse for media repression, in both democratic and authoritarian regimes." Read the full details of the findings via Politico here. Jeva Lange

They have freedom. They aren't victims. What they want is respect and they don't win that shit.

How are freedoms of the press being limited in the United States? Rightly or wrongly, the president has the first amendment right to criticize news media that he disagrees with.

Perhaps..... But it would be nice if he did it with actual facts once in a while.

​

Facts--shmacts. They were made for each other like some horrific romance. They both think opining is fact and act like over emotional nitwits.

I wondered Reporters Without Borders' metrics.

Once upon a time...... it's like our human right's organizations that have been altered in the last 10 years to the extent that their motives have to be questioned.

And loving it, from the posts on this thread.

The deep state does not tolerate any sort of freedom

Good boy. Now sit up and whine like Vladimir wants you to.

Sure, the head of the Executive can get his Stalin Putin on and refer to the Fourth Estate as 'enemies of the people'. Congress has passed no law abridging that speech, agreed.

The United States has dropped to the 45th spot in the World Press Freedom Index, down two places due in part to President Trump, the organization writes. "A media-bashing enthusiast, Trump has referred to reporters as 'enemies of the people,' the term once used by Joseph Stalin," the organization responsible for the list, Reporters Without Borders, writes as part of its justification.

The world press freedom index is full of shit. Trump is not restricting any freedoms of the press.

The US media is even lower in journalistic standards thanks in no small part to CNN and MSNBC.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

American press has suffered since Jon Stewart retired, er, or something

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Freedom of the press was meant for the printing press, not CNN or MSNBC or NY Times online. Trump is well within his rights to regulate those

 

[Disir]

no.

So Reporters Without Borders wants respect and trashes US media to get it, that's what you're saying here?

After all, the 1st Amendment makes no mention of the POTUS not being permitted to abridge the freedom of the press. You're quite right.

Demanding press veracity would be the death knell for CNN, MSNBC and the National Enquirer.

That's right. Referring to the press as Stalin once did, as 'enemies of the people', is not abridging its freedom.

Yes CNN is the bump stock of the First Amendment
