Sure that's all he has to do..launch a full scale war against the media. Shut up anyone who opposes him.
That doesn't sound like communism to you?
Sure sounds like something Stalin would do. Or Hitler. Or any dictator.

This is why we have a constitution and three parts to our government. So idiots like him can't do things like shut up the press.
I really feel bad for anyone who believes he could do ANYTHING about what they say about him.
Especially when its the truth...
He's just going to have to grin and bare it. Poor donnie boy...Poor baby...Poor ATS...

Hit pieces? Really?

He serves up controversy like MacDonalds serves up fries. Pluheeeze.

I was watching C-Span the other day, it had the press secretary being interviewed, then after he left a panel of journalists were discussing how they had become out of touch with the public. Jim Acosta was one of the panelists, the audience seemed to be in love with him. He said something that struck me, they were talking about fake news and how would people know what is truth. Jim said that the MSM would decide for the people what is truth.

There was also another thing that struck me, I'm not sure which panelist said it. They were talking about the focus of only negative stories against Trump, and how Trump had control of the 'alternative media' such as his facebook tv show, and twitter rants. The panelist said that because Trump had control, that it was the media's job to 'embellish' stories and sensationalize them in order to counteract Trump's rhetoric.

There was a female panelist who seemed very reasonable.

Hey, found a link to the video! It's long, but this is a must watch to get an idea of the mindset of the media elite.

CSPAN

Oh dear. To the OPs list... Most, if not all is not "fake" news, it is opinion and a slant to news that goes against the worldview of the reader.

Fake news is total fabrication and made up as part of a purposeful process to confuse and distract. Like some of the stories touted by the Russian state controlled press on MH17, or calling Jo Blogs a paedo. People believe "fake" news as has been shown many times on ATS.

We are in danger of calling anthing we don't agree with as "fake news" rather than stuff that is just made up.

The EPA was told to pull any studies that pointed to global warming. The national parks were told to do the same.

It's hard to have a rational conversation with people such as yourself that believe the lies, The above is false. Dig deeper if you are capable of it.

1) it is a Muslim ban. Nobody is fooled by slick talk and shady language. He asked for and got a legal way to ban mumlims.

It is not a Muslim ban, how can you not see that?
How can you argue it is a Muslim ban?
If it was a Muslim ban, there'd be many more countries on the list than the 7 that are on it, can't you see that?

Thanks for the link, I've found it on youtube as well, will download and watch.
I've always got time to stay informed, I find by and large it's the uninformed headline readers that seem to be on the left.
