If the liberal media is the enemy and so evil how come republicans are in power? I would think the right should not want to pick fights with them and instead let them keep doing what they have been doing.

It's because most normal everyday people with common sense know bullshite when they see or hear it.

It's really not any more complex than that.

No.

As but one example of hundreds, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan," could only thrive through press disinformation. Given neutral coverage, that statement could not have been risked.

Honest reporting would have shut the lie down.
Instead, Americans got stuck with a pig-in-a-poke.

The BS foisted upon us under auspices of "healthcare reform" had nothing whatsoever to do with healthcare. It had to do with health insurance. It was so flawed that now, a mere 3 years in, it is already in a death spiral.

Billions and billions of wasted dollars. Mandated health insurance most Americans cannot afford to use. All deliberately enabled and advanced by a complicit pro-socialist press --- the enemy of the American people.

Another one

You need to look at what I quoted from Champagne and have a fundamental understanding of reasoning to get it.

How the media has become the enemy of the American people

You may be taken back by the comment, but let's face the truth.

-The media has long become a political arm of socialist ideas.

-Media has become activists for the left.

We could list times that they have gone way past the line of a free press.

Did Russia try to interfere with the election? Maybe.

Did the Media try to sway the election? Yes.

----------------------

Did the Russians leak information on Hillary? Maybe

Did the media leak information on Trump? Yes and pretty much refused to cover the information in the leaks of Hillary.

----------------------

The point being.... Trump has a point. This isn't a free independent press anymore. They are paid political hacks cheering on their side.

You have a tendency to cite "reasoning" without offering any of your own.

"Enemy of the people" is a pretty controversial statement. Deliberately so.

So it should be easy to formulate a cogent argument against it.
Given that, by all means, take another bite at the apple.

Make your case as to why the media has not become the enemy of the American people.

Sure jdoc's argument is non sequitur

I don't think you understand how arguing works. Jdoc Came to an conclusion without providing a sound argument. Asking me to refute his position, a position that is a fallacy, "just because" is incredibly dumb and a fallacy in itself. All a skeptic has to do is point to the error in reasoning and move on. Hopefully jdoc will improve next time.

As I said on the first page.

Just because you disagree with his premise doesn't refute his argument.

Why don't you tell us why you think the MSM is fair and unbiased, and not an enemy of the truth.

You are a Trump sheep, like most of the people on this board. Any news that is critical of Trump is "fake news". Only the conservative news media puts out real news. You would like it better if Trump controlled the news, then you would feel safe and comforted like sheep need.

Walter Cronkite started it with people hanging on to every word that came out of his mouth. The 24 hour "ALERT" "BREAKING NEWS" shite has just made it unbearable. That is CNN's fault.

I've thought they've been the enemy for at least 15-20 years. I applaud Trump's rhetoric toward the media. As long as he doesn't start using government to prevent them from doing their job I have no problem. But these fricking pussies in the media think they are sacrosanct. They deserve everything he's said about him and more. And most of the country agrees with Trump. The media has less trust than congress.....think about that for a second.

It would be more accurate to say that leftists are an enemy of the country. It just turns out that most media types are leftists.
