A possible reason why Trump is trying to silence opposition media

[owebo]

but American citizens are free to think and speak the truth.

........except, however, if you're part of the media, then you're labeled "fake".....according to the Trumpster, that is.....

How someone labeling you something make you any less free to think or speak?

If I call you an idiot, does that mean you can't say anything? Because many people have called you that and it hasn't shut you up yet.

Why is calling the media on their lies somehow silencing them? Have they apologized? Have they stopped lying? Heck no they doubled down.

Your argument is ridiculous. Will you shut up now since I've clearly silenced you in your opinion?

why do people like avatar insist on calling others arguments ridiculous? Surely they have their heads up trumps butt Trump is trying to divide the media Calls great newspapers liars Afraid that they''ll come up with the truth about trumpovitch and his pal putin and their swaying of our election....but avatar cares not

Not much seems to bother him.

He's a left winger...by definition he is always right.

When did Trump try to "silence" anybody?

Well, I owe both YOU and the other moron an apology.....Here mull these over

Trump Tells Reporter From Jewish Outlet to 'Sit Down' and Be 'Quiet ...

Trump tells female reporter to 'be quiet' during press ... - YouTube

Donald Trump On CNN's Reporter Shut Up You Are Fake News ...

I'll accept your apology....Mr. Stupid.

There is no first amendment right to not be told to shut up.

And you don't have to stop talking after you've been told.

Also they are free to publish anything they like including complaining about being to told to shut up.

I am sorry to have to spell it out for for your senile ass, but when he tries to use the law to silence someone, I'll be 180 degrees opposed.

but you're not opposed to his gathering of his sheep and calling our world class media liars ? he's the fn liar did he or did he not promise to show his taxes ?? for example

 

[frigidweirdo]

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..

what's he doing to "silence" them

oh yeah nothing

He's doing quite a lot actually, he's calling everything he doesn't like "fake news". He's trying to silence them by trying to make people not believe anything they say.

That is still not silencing them because they can still say anything thy want

Yeah, I guess if you want to take everything literally, then you'll have problems in life.

if you can tell me exactly how anyone is silencing any member of the press then go for it

words mean things or didn't you know that?

Do you know what to silence someone can mean? Or are you deliberately playing dumb?

I know what it actually means and no one is being silenced

verb

1. 1.
   cause to become silent; prohibit or prevent from speaking.
   "the team's performance silenced their critics"
   synonyms: quiet, hush, shush; More
   
   

if you are trying to say that Trump is making more difficult for journalists to report then I would agree but that in no way even comes close to silencing them

like I said words mean things

 

[nat4900]

The United States President says that the media should be required to list their sources in any story they publish, which obviously conflicts with the first amendment, and you are not even a little bit concerned about the loss of your constitutional rights. Ok. I will do my best, through resistance, to protect those rights for you.

Well stated.......Its rather ironic that Trump wants to demand that sources be listed, but rather shies away when the electorate ALSO demands that Trump reveal his tax returns.

Trump has made enemies out of 2 very powerful agencies. The FBI, the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security, and 13 or 14 other intelligence agencies, and the media.

He may think he's king, but really they are the powerhouses in this country. The more he lies, the more he is going to be outed. The more he says Russia was just fake news, the more leaks are going to surface that prove him wrong. His Presidency is already DONE.

Shep Smith of FOX news states in the below video that Trump campaign aids were in contact with the Russians on the very day that Russians hacked into DNC databases. Collusion with a foreign adversary to interfere into an American National election is TREASON. There is no getting around that. Those phone records never go away.

This is why the comrade is attacking and banning media outlets right now. He is desperately trying to deflect attention away from this.

Was that posted recently? Oh wow! Today, even! Tell you what, you keep clinging to that delusion based upon a media lie. Keep clinging and clinging and clinging.

It's doing wonders for your credibility.

By all means, keep it up!

All it does is make you look desperate and delusional.

you really think he can win another election with his numbers in the low 40's? and due to fall further when people realize the mistake they made voting for him?
