How much time do you think it takes to not invite CNN to a WH event?

But they shouldn't create arguments with him if you're talking about the media here. Let them report the answer to the question to their audience and let me make my own mind up without their input of what to make of it..

That's your opinion and I respect that. But no person should ever try to suppress the media like China supresses theirs.

But when a leader of a country tries to control the news flow, that person is a dictator.


So now you criticize Obama?

That should be left up to the viewers to distinguish between the bullshite and facts. That requires people to research and gather the facts. Of course, we all know how much that happens.

But Trump is trying to suppress any viewpoint that doesn't align with his plan

Sort of like Lois Lerner and the IRS injecting themselves into the election process to suppress the opposition and help the obama campaign.

Of courser barry didn't learn about the IRS scandal until he heard it reported on the news and no one questioned his explanation. Funny

So there should be no negative reception of these corporate giants making up "news" for the sake of viewers? I have no problem with his actions.

Where exactly do you think the majority of people get those facts and research? The media and they know they have an influence. They thrive on it.

How about the suppression and then spin of Benghazi and then not holding the administration accountable before a major election?

Huge control of the news flow during that period.

Had the media held Obama and the dems accountable during his first term, the second term never would have happened.

I don't care who it is. If it was him I would say the same thing. I tell people who bitch about Trump not being elected in a fair process. I disagree. I don't care for him, but that's why i vote. If they don't like him...go vote.

So you are saying we shouldn't have the press at all? Boy that would really work well.
