That's the whole point. Don't be obtuse. Trump doesn't have a problem with mainstream media, hell he IS mainstream media. He has a problem with any entity being critical of his words, actions and policies. His beef has nothing to do with the actual corruption rampant in mainstream media. It's about silencing opposition so he can consolidate power.

You can't phrase it better. This is what dictators do around the world. They attack and demonize all dissenting voices for that specific reason.

Trump brags about his ratings at the drop off a hat. Courted the media all his life... he loves them. He's just being being self-serving.

With Trump, if you're on board with him 100% you're ''the best'', ''wonderful, wonderful people'' etc. God forbid you criticise him.

And the danger OP is referring to calling them ''an enemy of the American people''. That's dictator talk lol wtf.

this #fakenews is total bullshyt propaganda that all autocrats used throughout history , Putin, Stalin, Erdogan. Ceacescu, Hitler.

he wants to silence them, create a false enemy, and totally confuse the public with smoke and mirrors so they dont have a clue whats true or not.

you do realize it was the Dems that started this #fakenews shyt right?

 

[Maschine_Man]

SMH @ anyone thinking the media has the publics best interest at heart when they MAKE the news.

there is no real news anymore...like Denzel said, its all opinion news.

On the one hand, I've wanted the major news networks to get called on their bullshyt for a long time....problem is, Trump makes them look like the credible one. He's a disaster.

Kind of like I've wanted an outsider candidate to win for years...but Trump is not that candidate.

Please tell us the sources you subscribe too that hold higher journalistic value

TheColi.com, sucka

Eh, you could argue dems/liberals gave voice to the phenomenon, but it was mostly pointing out clearly obvious bs being pushed as "real" news by right wing outlets (ex. pizzagate). Trump hijacked it and played on his base's mistrust of anything intellectual to cast doubt on any outlet that has something bad/critical to say about him.

 

[Frump]

The fake news thing is genius.

Anytime anything negative is said about him

Fake news

And his fans eat it up

Exactly. This isn't hard to understand why he is doing this.

 

[AV Dicey]

country full of white supremacists, many of german heritage

populist leader promising to get rid of the minorities

telling them (((the media))) is the enemy of the people

Murica fought a civil war over slavery and the good guys won. This is where you be like Obama and 'have faith in the American people'...or your shyt outta luck

The media is garbage. Every single popular outlet you know always has an agenda its trying to push. There needs to be a sense of objectivity in the stories and let the masses decipher what truth is theirs. In today's climate most the accepted narrative is that built with left leaning outlets. These are automatic bush status to me.

 

[FappleMeOff]

The MSM has become lazier and lazier as the years have gone by. They're doing absolutely fine reporting the news, but (for the most part) they do an absolute terrible job of actually investigating/fact checking the news they just reported.

YOU have to do the investigating and shyt if you actually want most of the truth. Be an independent thinker

But cherrypicking and choosing what is "fake news" based on your personal beliefs is terrible. And that's the problem with Trump and his supporters.
