Trump's war against "fake news" is a truly frightening precedent.

This is by far the scariest thing he's doing. Blocking outlets he disagrees with? Where does it end? Where's his concrete examples of fake reporting? There aren't any. He just rails against "fake news" and his base laps it up.

you mean the ones who tried to rig presidential debates and put out hundreds of fake polls to supress voter turnout?

As long as his supporters keep letting him get away w it he won't stop.

It's their fault as much as anyone's. Nobody should be surprised by anything he's done yet.

Edit: This is only going to get worse. You think Obama got away w stuff? Wait until the next president and the one after, etc. we're watching our checks and balances erode rapidly.

For example: why would any president turn over their taxes ever again??? Trump supporters can't actually expect a dem president (or republican for that matter) to do it now, who's going to make them? Not unless the people for Trump force him to turn over his and soon.

It's not about Trumps taxes, its the financial disclosure/transparency of every future president. Hopefully this is obvious to everyone.

It's funny how people forget how petty Obama was in his 8 years towards Conservative news agencies that he didn't like.

Yeah, it means left wing outlets don't have a monopoly on the spin like they did when Uncle Walter was declaring wars lost and leftists ideas do not stand up to competition so yes I can see how it is "frightening" to you.

He should just roll over and let horse shite like that Priebus story go unanswered, right?

Is it scarier than a news outlet attempting to rig a presidential debate?

Which scares you the most?

You've been frightened and hyperventilating since November. It's amusing.
