Trump demands CBS be stripped of licence over edited Harris interview

[hadit]

For sure, an authoritarian govt would strip them of their license.

Should they be allowed to interfere in elections while posing as journalists?

 

[Redfish]

You are right..........................in your fantasy world.

BTW, did you see the chart I put up. We are the lowest in inflation among the G7 countries...............thanks to Biden.

whether inflation is 9% or 3%, its still inflation and until we have deflation, the prices of everything will keep going up. Bringing it from 9% to 3% is not "stopping inflation"

Every single news site can be said to do the same thing.

Is it your desire to shut them all down, or just the ones that do not support your beloved party?

all news stations should be required to report facts, not propaganda. It used to be that way, then the deep state got control of the media. We are becoming Germany of the 1930s. Wake up people its almost too late.

Correct. All it’s doing is prices still going up on already inflated prices.

I want the talking heads on TV that own broadcast licenses to be held accountable when they attempt to interfere in elections. If CBS abandoned their license, they would have no special advantage over other media outlets. The fact that they are operating with a legal advantage means they are abusing the public trust and should be held accountable, up to and including the loss of the license. It would be somewhat similar to an electric company prioritizing white people over black for power restoration, unacceptable.

People in the US cannot even agree on what the facts are any longer. We are living in the era of Alternative facts.

Just read the threads on this forum, facts are not based upon partisanship

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Why? Did FoxNews release the transcript of the interview with Trump they edited?

They should as well. If people ask.

CBS, especially 60 Minutes have released prior transcripts

Both should do it.

Why not just release all transcripts? Problem solved. Every network should do it.

I am struggling with this. After the UK riots I made a case for honesty in media. After the cats and dogs disgrace I made the same argument.

At every step of the way you chimps told me that any attempt to introduce honessty would impact on free speech because the right cannot be honest.

The govt shpi;d not legislate for free speech.Just like they are supposed to do in "shithole " Britain.

But now trump is proposing to do exactly that and suddenly its ok. ABC. CBS and all outlets down to the Shinbone Gazzette are in his sights.

Its like trumps lies and dishonesty have attracted all the liars and criminals in america to his banner.

Trump has censored no one, CBS operates, Trump voiced an opinion and makes a valid point. The Biden Administration worked to censor social media, to rid the world of other viewpoints that did not agree with their idea of truth. Now CBS can cut, edit and paste on a very important interview, got rid of the parts she didn’t want in. I have no issue as media outlets always cut and edit, but it is funny how our government holds social media to a higher standard than news outlets.

Why is a platform used by the people held to a higher standard than CBS,ABC, CNN, Fox, NBC that claim to be fair and trustworthy?

yet none do.

The only thing I can do is lead you to information but I cannot make you understand it.

This is my last attempt. It is a good article that will explain (if you let it) what really caused inflation and it was not Biden

Republicans at RNC blame Biden for inflation. Economists say it's misleading​

Some economists who spoke to ABC News took issue with the blame placed on President Joe Biden as an overstatement of his role in the price spike. Instead, they said, the bout of rapidly rising prices emerged from a supply shortage imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine war.

Pandemic-era spending measures enacted by former President Donald Trump and Biden also contributed to the price spike, the economists added, but they differed on the share of responsibility that should be apportioned to each of the major party candidates.

"There's a long list of reasons for the high inflation. At the top of the list is the pandemic and the Russian war," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told ABC News.

Some of the inflation owes to the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan signed by Biden in 2021, Zandi said. But, he added, "It's at the bottom of the list."

 

[Luckyone]

No, it would have been lower if Trump were in office. Biden’s giveaways drove it up to 9%.

Read post #232

 

[Luckyone]

if you buy into that theory, then China's release of covid on the world worked as they planned

More conspiracy theories?

 

[Luckyone]

So his war on fossil fuels
Open border
Two global conflics
Chips act

Zero to do with inflation?

Not zero but minor.

Look at post #232 for a more detailed explanation

 

[Redfish]

yet none do.

and that is the problem

 

[Harpy Eagle]

and that is the problem

But only one is being targeted. None of the Trump cult has been demanding FoxNews do so.

All the Biden administration did was voice an opinion and made a valid point.

Trump’s opinion is that the government should censor news agencies who don’t say what he wants. You can call it just an opinion, but doesn’t the actual opinion matter to you?

 

[westwall]

as does every other news agency out there. Should we shut them all down?

If all they produce is propaganda? Yes.

 

[Clipper]

Do you think they would have edited as favorably as they did for Harris? Why doesn't Harris do a Fox interview?

Why would Harris do an interview on Fox with one of Trump's lackeys with the stink of his ass on their face?
