Republicans : Is this what you really want?

Mr. Reince Priebus, Donald Trump's obedient little lap dog said, Donald Trump should be taken seriously when he calls press ‘the enemy’

The framers of our Constitution insisted on freedom of the press for a very good reason. Without it, there will be only state approved press...just like Russia, China, and North Korea Is this really what you want REPUBLICANS?? If not, then shut the F-CK UP about the media!

Our press already is de facto state approved. Odd that you aren't aware.

CNN is the mouth piece for the radical, kook, fringe, Leftist, Marxists known as "Progressives" Trump has ever right to call them what they are.

Someone is preventing the press from printing what they want abut Trump?

They have the same freedom now they had under Obama, and previous presidents.

Just because he doesn't call on them during press conferences, doesn't mean he is restricting their freedom.

Are you contending that you are aware of the relationship between reporters and the state? or denying its existence?

It seems unreasonable to have a balanced press? The press can and should be criticized if and when it becomes exceedingly biased. That is free speech, so stop whining!

If we actually had a free press, you might have a point. But the current mainstream press is not free. It's just an arm of the Democratic Party and its foreign cohorts.

What you consider to be the press today is nothing but tabloid news and shock jock journalism that you believe is actual news reporting...

Tell me when Donald John Trump order the closing of CNN and MSNBC and then you can convince me that Trump is the enemy of the press but because Trump does not field questions about Russia when the press conference was about U.S. and Israeli relations does not mean he is shutting the press down but reminding the reporters there is a time and place for their tabloid questioning and that was not the damn time!

Actually, I often refer to foreign sources without ties to either side. They have less reason to lie for political gain, and are happy to report on American matters our domestic press won't touch.

Priebus: Trump should be taken seriously when he calls press ‘the enemy’

First of all, I need to call you out on your punctuation. The use of the colon denotes attribution of the aforementioned. So your thread title appears to be stating that Republicans are asking "is this what you really want?" In actuality, you are asking Republicans if this is what they really want.

On the actual topic:

You will find, if you bother to do a little research, Trump is not the first president to have harsh criticism of the media. We can go back to Thomas Jefferson... “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper.” And he also called the press “the only toxin of a nation.”

Andrew Jackson was equally critical and so was Abe Lincoln. And lest we forget Obama's singling out of Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. So this is not a new thing, it has been going on for many years through many presidents. It's just yet another "fake news story" designed to smear Trump because you don't like Trump.

Priebus: Trump should be taken seriously when he calls press ‘the enemy’

The Press has taken sides in partisan politics. Long ago.


It has been wrong of past republican presidents to pretend that they have not, and to treat them as neutral when in fact THEY ARE THE ENEMY.


Your want the Press to not be treated as the enemy? Tell them to stop being completely corrupt assholes.

Fuck you too!

"The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers."

"Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper."


1. “The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers... [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper.”

Mass of people reading the news + mass of people who can’t distinguish truth from falsity in the news = trouble.




2. “I deplore... the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write for them... These ordures are rapidly depraving the public taste and lessening its relish for sound food.”

“Sound food,” for Jefferson = books.



3. “‘From forty years' experience of the wretched guess-work of the newspapers of what is not done in open daylight, and of their falsehood even as to that, I rarely think them worth reading, and almost never worth notice.”

Thomas Jefferson: Don’t.Read.Newspapers.



4. “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day.”

Newspapers sit on a throne of lies.



5. “As for what is not true, you will always find abundance in the newspapers.”

Lies.



6. “A coalition of sentiments is not for the interest of printers… [T]he printers can never leave us in a state of perfect rest and union of opinion. They would be no longer useful and would have to go to the plough.”

Newspapers are pot-stirrers.



7. "I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time…”

Reading newspapers does not mean one is “informed.”



8. “A truth now and then projecting into the ocean of newspaper lies serves like headlands to correct our course. Indeed, my scepticism as to everything I see in a newspaper makes me indifferent whether I ever see one.”

He really couldn’t care less about them.



9. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Better off without them.

10. “From a very early period of my life, I had laid it down as a rule of conduct, never to write a word for the public papers.”

-Thomas Jefferson

Perhaps you can explain something to me: how is what Trump's doing any different than what you people (and yes, your leaders) do to Rush, Hannity, Fox, and others? Here are just two examples right here in your post:

You, doubtless, prefer the Alt-Right White Supremacist sources for your news.

Donald Trump has approved FOX News for viewing.

So there you have it. Trump is taking it to the next level, but it's not like your side doesn't do the same.

The media is not sacrosanct. In fact, it has a huge responsibility, and anyone with that much responsibility must earn it and maintain it.

In the last two elections, the media has taken sides, and it has resulted in this.

Freedom of Speech is a two way street. The Press is bitching about Trump calling them "Fake News", but Trump has every right,, he did not give up his "Freedom of Speech" when he became President. So stop your whining.
