trump is escalating his war on the media, following a blueprint set by Orban

[Billiejeens]

The headline should say "Trump declares war against Democrats' propaganda"

Journalists ask questions that the interviewee doesn't want to answer.
Democrat Media only asks those questions of Republicans.

 

[Rawley]

Arguing with a Democrat who doesn't accept that the Democratic Media is, well, for publicizing the Democrats is a fool's errand.

Sawry -

They live in an alternate reality.

I've tried watching MSNBC and CNN, but I just can't do it. The anger and the venom and the lies ... It really is no wonder they have ideas like they do and post like they do. That is they way they are trained.

 

[JimH52]

They did.,

You just didn't want to hear it. Besides, Trumpsters usually cheer Trump's efforts to intimidate the press.

Censorship and propoganda are Trump things.

trump has been successful in suing some media outlets, like CBS. But all they need to do is stans up to the cowardly bully and tell him to pound sand.

They really do live in a world that the media has created, that bears no resemblance to the real world.

I would feel sorry for them, but - they could leave anytime but, won't.

 

[JimH52]

Exactly. OP is ignoring the media non-stop targeting BS on Trump since 2015 Golden Escalator ride.

The media has called out his lies and multiple crimes. The Pedo/Felon in Chisf deserves to be in jail.

Or

They could simply stop breaking the law in their efforts to destroy President Trump.

 

[georgephillip]

rump is following, with amazing accuracy, the plan laid out by Orban and his cronies. And the repub party is an accessory these efforts.

And Trump is proceeding at a much faster rate than Orban.

Your link:

"'I think Trump went further in two months than Orban could in 15 years,' observers Kreko. 'In the United States, it reminds me of a constitutional coup, where everything happens very rapidly.'"

 

[georgephillip]

Or

They could simply stop breaking the law in their efforts to destroy President Trump.

Which laws has the press been breaking "in their efforts to destroy President Trump?"

 

[marvin martian]

You Trumpsters don't want to be informed. Never have.

You don't read. You get your news from propoganda mills like Fox, which has never been a real news organization by design, and lies to you as a matter of corporate policy.

They set the low standard for BS artists like NewsMax and OAN.

And Trumpsters eat up the made up BS that anonymous posters and wannbe influencers manufacture on X.

Trump nation was never well informed, and shows a downright hostility to it now.

The DNC has nothing to do with any of this.

LOL

 

[Oddball]

Correct.

Republicans have long feared and despised democracy, feared the will of the people, we see this with the right’s voter suppression and disenfranchisement policies.

Anger, venon and lies are what you live on. Fox has spewed those things constantly since the day they went on the air. In that, they were imitating the Limbaughs, Becks, Jones, Breitbarts, and Bannons of your fake news world.

News should not be just whatever conforms to your own tiny world view.

But right wing America deliberately limits itself to that bubble.

Defamation

Thank you for making my point.

The first screen shot is meaningless.

The second is true.

Both are excellent examples of the petty sort of stuff that is reflected in almost every post from Trump land on this forum,.

Over the last month China has been hit with catastropic floods.

But Fox, OAN, NoiseMax don't cover news, just celebrity and political gossip.

MSNBC is little better.

CNN may have mentioned it on its domestic network. I'm sure they have covered it internationally.

What's the status on the ice cream situation?

 

[marvin martian]

Thank you for making my point.

Are you guys still thinking about running Avenatti in 2028?

The Trump administration's escalating war on the media | KALW

There's a lot to discuss. Paramount, the owner of CBS, and Disney, the owner of ABC, have agreed to pay Trump millions of dollars to settle lawsuits. The White House has banned Associated Press reporters from the Oval Office and other presidential events after the outlet refused to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The White House recently prohibited a Wall Street Journal reporter from boarding Air Force One to cover Trump's trip to Scotland after the paper published an article on July 17 called: Jeffrey Epstein's friends sent him bawdy letters for a 50th birthday. One was from Donald Trump. Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against News Corp and chair emeritus and longtime Trump ally Rupert Murdoch. News Corp owns the Wall Street Journal.

Tim Richardson, journalism and disinformation program manager at PEN America, told HuffPost this sets a dangerous precedent and it’s hard to say where this ends

I never thought I would say I wish George W was back in office. He was horrid. He wasted billions on a couple wars that accomplished little. But he respected the United States Constitution and he respected the rule of law. The man we see in the oval office now makes his own laws and see the Constitution as a barrier to autocratic tendencies. If we make it through the next 3 1/2 years as a democracy, it will be a minor miracle.
Hungary's Orban demonstrates how to dismantle democracy : NPR

Orban, 61, is in his fourth consecutive term as prime minister. In that time, he and his allies have dismantled democratic checks and balances, taken control of the country's media, civil society and universities, and consolidated power in himself and his Fidesz party. The dismantling of Hungary's democracy is a point of fascination for political scientists around the world — including those advising the Trump administration.

trump is following, with amazing accuracy, the plan laid out by Orban and his cronies. And the repub party is an accessory these efforts.

Good one I am "following" you. Also Jim this is all part of Project 2025. The Project that Trump claimed he knew noting about.

Guess that's why more Democrats watch Fox than CNN or MSNBC, huh?

 

[marvin martian]

You;re the one peddling this.

Right, me and CNN.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Prove it.

Besides, ratings are not integrity or journalism.

But people whose knowledge of the world is limited to the cryon under the Fox talking head wouldn't know any better anyway.

You right wingers are so ill informed, and have been for so long that your lack of knowledge of current events is assumed by most people.

Especially the operations that you think of as news. They count in your short and selective memories and your general ignorance of things like government, finance, and science.

They know that they can feed you total BS and you'll not only swallow it whole,but you'll embrace it and defend it.

The totally fake Noem Report is only the latest example.

.

We don't have to. You do an admirable job of that yourselves.
