Matters not why. The fact is all the evidence points to this activity and only someone who doesn't value American values & traditions can ignore it.
I can't equate Trump with American values.
i damn sure can't equate what the left is doing as traditional american values either. they're fishing and schiff, just making it up as he does. how is ANYTHING we as a country are doing today be classified as "traditional american values"?
Almost every time Trump opens his mouth it's about hate for something or another. Are there others as bad? There are.
man, i never know when it's ok to pull a "whataboutism" anymore. well except when i do it, it's wrong.
but to answer your question - read my overall stances. i hate it when trump fights with the media. while i hate the media and their bullshit, i would have to think in a free press society thats their "right". if they take it too far, take them to court. let the courts, not us, decide what is "too far". and if an outlet just pisses you off to no end, find another.
This post almost makes sense, but it utterly ignores the responsibility of the press to tell the truth and to act as a check on the Presidency. This idea that there is "no truth" as promoted by the Trump Administration, or that there are "alternative facts", is a fallacy. You have a number of news outlets - all of them privately owned, who are beholding only to their oligarch owners, with an agenda of promoting their billionaire owners' agenda, and who play fast and very loose with the truth. We've seen the erosion of honest reporting in the Wall Street since Rupert Murdoch bought it.
I have fewer concerns about ABC, NBC and CBS because they're publically owned and have to respond to shareholders concerns with truth rather than one person's personal agenda. I worry about the Washington Post, as well. While Jeff Bezos currently is maintaining a hands off attitude with WAPO, will the next owner hold to that philosphy, or will events lead Jeff Bezos to change his current policy?
