re: 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 must the Rip Van Winkle of the PT board,
So here's what happened in a nutshell since you were sleeping the past 50 yrs. While you were sleeping the Prog/Dims took over the educational system back in the late 50's and eventually those indoctrinated fools graduated J school and hijacked the MSM from real journalists.
We all knew this shite was going on but these weasels (faux jouralists) were pretty stealthy until the last election and they just said,
"frick you America we have chosen Hillary Rotten Clinton for the next POTUS and there aint a damn thing you can do about it."
Well Trump said, (paraphrased)"We're going to make America great again and the dishonest, nasty and biased MSM will fall along with Hilldawg".
So here we are. Hey, welcome back to the PT board Inferior Pariah.

Yes. There are quite a few examples. He even used his justice department to go after one journalist.
Obama went after James Rosen, a Fox News Reporter, and declared him a "criminal co-conspirator" in order to gain access to his phone and email messages.
He also had the telephone records of 20 AP reporters subpoenaed.
Imagine the melt if Trump would do that. He doesn't invite NYT and CNN to a press briefing and the outrage is heard around the world. I doubt the OP ever read a story where Obama charged reporters with co-conspiratorship and subpoenaed dozens of reporters phone records.
Proof for those who doubt

Two. His people hacked Rosen's and that CBS reporter's computer or phone. I remember the media was OUTRAGED...for a week.
It's amazing how many horrified libs don't know about Rosen and Atkinson. Not to mention the stuff Ben Rhodes said about the ignorant, lapdog press pool.

Hussein's NSA was reading Associated Press reporters' emails. Were you liberals asleep when this came out?

He couldn't care less if news is fake as long as it somehow makes him look good. His war is against news that doesn't do that. He literally spreads fake news himself every single day.

I'm not amazed by it, I expect this level of ignorance from progs.
What Trump's doing is no big deal. The textbook example of fabricated drama.

I love how these liberal dolts just gloss over some pretty egregious attacks on the "press" by Obama. It's like it never happened.
That hypocrisy is the biggest thing Dems have to contend with moving forward if they have any hope of reconstituting themselves. The average American can see right through blatant hypocrisy. When you scream and cry and uses identity politics only selectively folks get tunned out of and away from your message.

Let's not forget the OP is an alleged "journalist"

Hey man, whatever the founder of Trump U, celebrity apprentice and owner of the miss universe pageant says is good enough for me.

When does a precedent be come a precedent? Is it the 1st time it happens or the second? Maybe the third?

Were you equally horrified when Obama was naming reporters co-conspirators, subpoenaing reporter's phone records, telling politicians not to listen to Fox News, and blaming Trump's win on the fact that many bars and airports were tuned into Fox News? Because he did all of that and there wasn't near the outrage from the left they're displaying about Trump not inviting CNN and NYT to a press party.
I personally can't wait until Trump starts charging CNN reporters with criminal co-conspiracy, as Obama did to Rosen, for receiving leaks. I believe that will be coming next.

You can sit there and say Obama did it too until you're blue in the face. Nobody is buying that there is any comparison.

There is no comparison. One used the justice department to silence press he didnt like and the other just left out a couple from an unofficial gaggle.

I think you meant to post this on Facebook.

You're right. There is no comparison between not inviting CNN and NYT to a press party and labeling journalists as criminal co-conspirators for receiving classified leaked information. Obama was far worse. Very observant.
When Trump starts calling CNN journalists co-conspirators there will be an apt comparison, and I hope that's soon.

I have absolutely Z-E-R-O respect for the MSM. Tell me... Why should I actually give a rats arse whether they're treated fairly or not when they don't treat the news or their views fairly in covering all sides of the news, or just reporting the damn shite the way it happens without their damn editorial shite disguised as the "news of the day"?
I couldn't give a shite what happens to these news outlets. Its way past time they went away. Its not as if they are holding anyone but GOP candidates responsible for anything they say or do. For 8 years all they did was blow Obama, so GFY MSM... I don't give a shite what happens to you and your precious "need to know".
