Did you notice how Obama never called Fox News “an enemy of the people”?

[sakinago]

Sure they fundamentally disagreed, but Obama didn’t try to undermine their freedom of expression by calling them “fake news” or “enemies of the people”. He even appeared on Fox multiple times for interviews on their terms. Trump is too much of a pussy to go to any news source that isn’t Fox. He’s a pathetic, whiny little bitch who doesn’t care if what he says contradicts the 1st amendment. All that matters to him is his tender sensibility.

He (Obama) did just say Fox News viewers are living on a different planet. And he did criticize Fox News while he was president, and said you shouldn’t listen to them. Remember, the term fake news was created by the mainstream media as the reason why trump won, trump just took the term over. At the same time the media was ranting about fake news, they were the ones calling for liscences for journalist. Way bigger threat to democracy, “we don’t like this administration, so let’s give it the power to determine whose a journalist and whose not.” And no, I only remember 1 time, on obamas terms, that was the Super Bowl interview with orielly. Let’s also not forget that Obama used the espionage act against members of the press more than any other president before him. Remember Cheryl Atkinson? Her waking up in the middle of the night and videotaping her laptop screen, and the mouse cursor moving on it’s own opening files. Until trump wants to inact liscenure for the press, or starts using the espionage act like Obama did, criticizing them is not a threat to democracy. It’s a free press, they can not like the president, and the president can not like them back. The press isn’t for the people, they’re for making money. One would hope that they’re for making money by reporting on the news in a non-biased, intelligent manner, in a setting that actually explores ideas...but it’s so much easier to play to bases, go for click bait, and get them riled up.

Yes he bitched about the press. Every President does that. But he didn’t insult them, call them names, accuse them of lying, say they were “fake news” or the “enemy of the people”.

On those rare occasions when Trump deigns to soeakbto the press, he takes special care to call out CNN and tell them he won’t answer their question because they’re “fake news”.

Obama didn’t point to the press at his campaign rallies and tell his followers they were “horrible, disgusting fake news”, or “all lies”.

Trump consistently tries to paint his behaviour as no different than other Presidents but it’s like nightband day.

“But Hillary” is one of his favourite mantras, especially in regards to the dossier. “But Hillary got dirt on me from the Russians”. No. Hillary got dirt on you from her lawyers. Her lawyers got it from an American research firm. The research firm got the dirt from a retired British agent. The British agent got it from the Russians. Neither Hillary nor her staff had any contact with Fusion GPS, Steele or his contacts. As Trump would say “No collusion”.

Of course now that Trump has admitted collusion with Russians the new mantra is “collusion isn’t illegal”. No it isn’t but Conspiracy against the USA is, as is asking to find Hillary’s emails.

As I have stated the press has always attacked President Trump a minimum of 90% negative and sometimes downright false reporting. They are not Reporters any longer they have become a pack of attack dogs!

Anyone who claims to be a nation's leader and acts like a petulant child NEEDS to be attacked in the press.

They attacked him before he ever became President asswarp!

Deservedly so.

Yes! In the libtard world.

Which is every respected media around the world outside your gasbag propaganda bubble..

I don’t see trump going after Omurosa, or Comey with the espionage act. You can’t just ignore the fact that Obama went after whistleblowers, and the journalist they contacted HARD.

Another Fake News zombie. Obama went after Fox all the time. He tried to exclude them from press events, didn't call on them when they got in anyway. He continually bashed Sean Hannity personally.

Fox doesn't lie either. Of course you're like what and your head explodes when I say that, but you consider anything anyone says a lie if it's not a leftist lie. That's just how you roll. No, they aren't leftist. But unlike the Fake News you worship, they have the opposition on all the time to speak for themselves

Fox lies constantly...against the right.

 

[ptbw forever]

Well, Obama didn't spend his days communicating almost exclusively in cartoonish hyperbole and saying anything it took to please his base, so.....

OMG you're brainwashed. Obama constantly did that

Fence sitters and fake moderates(although actual moderates could not have voted for Hillary)constantly have to make up bullshit about the right or lie about what the left actually does to justify the overt lunacy going on in the left every single day.

Yeah, that's true, Obama's and Trump's communication techniques are SO SIMILAR


.

Strawman.

Obama spoke in cartoonish hyperbole and spoke to his base. You mis-phrased it. Not sure if you were lying or just stupid

You're crazed.

I like that about you.

He just knows mostly what he is talking about while you do nothing but pull shit out of your ass.

Fox is just one network you fukin moron. There's at least 15 networks spewing lies and hate at Trump on a daily basis.

Fox is the one lying. Not all of them, Shep, Baier, and Cavuto do not stretch the truth.

LOL
The left has hated Cavuto since he started his program decades ago.

Next thing you assholes will say is that the left loves Andrew Napolitano and Stossel and Glenn Beck.....

Wholly Christ you're lost OP. At least Trump is honest. Compare and contrast that to the censorship practiced by the O'bummer admin. and the practice of censoring conservatives and their opinions through-out the web today:

Censorship: 38 journalism groups slam Obama's 'politically-driven suppression of news'

Wait a second.

Did you just say Trump is "honest"?

Compare and contrast you silly sally:

Subject A. Obama censored the media so he could police thought. Course liberals let it slide, imagine the tyranny if that were Trump. It would certainly signal the end of days.

Subject B. Liberal media is dishonest as they report narratives instead of the news. Really, they're fucking unhinged as they turn their following into intellectually dishonest snowflakes. Trump calls them fake news and liars.

Not to mention Obama’s “misinformation” correction campaign.

And censoring of insurance companies during the Obamacare debate.

CNN's Tapper: Obama has used Espionage Act more than all previous administrations
By Jon Greenberg on Friday, January 10th, 2014 at 10:00 a.m.



The federal criminal charges filed against National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden make it seven times that the Obama administration has used the Espionage Act against government workers who shared information with the press. In at least two instances, the government’s investigations have delved into the practices of reporters and news organizations and put reporters in legal jeopardy.

This has raised red flags among defenders of the media. In a vigorous exchange on CNN’s The Lead, host Jake Tapper asserted to Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post that "the Obama administration has used the Espionage Act to go after whistleblowers who leaked to journalists ... more than all previous administrations combined."

On one level, a simple tally would address Tapper’s claim and -- spoiler alert -- the raw numbers back him up. But a scrupulous vetting of the record uncovers important ambiguities in the entire business of talking about leaks in Washington.

The basic numbers

Most tallies, like the one by the investigative service ProPublica, begin with Daniel Ellsberg and the release of the Vietnam War era documents known as the Pentagon Papers. Including Ellsberg, the government has used the Espionage Act 10 times to prosecute government workers who shared classified information with journalists. If we push back to 1945, there is one more case. So of those 11, seven have taken place while Barack Obama has been president.

Law professor David Pozen at Columbia University, has researched th
The whistleblower label debate

The Justice Department does not quibble about number of prosecutions but in a statement to PunditFact, the department said: "It is definitely not the case that anyone who leaks classified information is a whistleblower. Very few of those prosecuted in recent years for unauthorized disclosures even sought to be considered that way."

To take a couple of examples, in 2010, State Department contractor Stephen Kim was indicted for providing information about North Korea to Fox News. Later that year, Jeffrey Sterling, a Central Intelligence Agency officer, was indicted for sharing information with a journalist James Risen about America’s work to counter Iran’s nuclear program. Both defendants have pled not guilty
No matter how broadly interpreted, Kim and Stirling don’t seem to fit that definition. In a statement given to ProPublica, the Justice Department said it does not target whistleblowers who follow the rules, but "we cannot sanction or condone federal employees who knowingly and willfully disclose classified information to the media or others not entitled to receive such information."

We raised this issue of who is and isn’t a whistleblower with Tapper and he said in the fast pace of a live interview, he might have wanted to use slightly different words to make his point.

"It would be better to say ‘leakers, many of whom are seen as whistleblowers,’ instead of just ‘whistleblowers’," Tapper said.
