Careful now. The idiot deanrd might think you're serious.You're the f*cking idiot. Trump wants the press to repeat his lies as truth. This whole "the press is making stuff up" is part of the propaganda the ignorant right has bought into hook line and sinker. Did you hear Bush talk about ending the press? OK, maybe he did. Well, look at it this way. The press published Bush lies. Republicans believed Bush lies and defended him. When it became totally clear Bush lied the US into a fake war, the right finally got it. They were given totally overwhelming facts they could no longer deny.You are really stupid, but you know that so thus you choose to be disingenuous on this topic as well as others.The end of the free press? Why do you think Trump bars the press from the Oval Office? It's the first step towards authoritarian. The same step Russia took under Putin, and the same step the Philippines took. That's how you become an authoritarian state.That assertion is so baseless and stupid, it doesn't merit a response.
It's nonsense to assert Republicans want to do away with a free press. What Trump and lots of us want is for the press to stop making up crap, lies, in support of the leftist agenda. As exhibit 1, consider all the false story lines the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, et al have spewed for months that have either been retracted or proven false from the get-go.
Trump hasn't "barred" the press from the White House. Every time there's a news conference the press is there. If he does choose though to tell an outlet or two to take a hike it's because he's fed up with their fake news they've promulgated in the past for the sole purpose of making him or his policies or Republicans/conservatives, etc. look bad, period. He's punishing them for being the liars they are and, in effect, telling them they're welcome back if they clean up their act(s).
Spin that all you want about doing away with a free press because the only ones buying it are low info lefties like you. Folks with brains know exactly what's going on and agree with our president.
Then Trump came along. And said publicly what a liar and a fool Bush is and finally, they believed it. The press had been saying it all along. Now the GOP won't let Bush anywhere near their conventions.
CNN has been so honest...
