Time to re-post this.
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostLiberals for the most part ignored how poorly Obama treated the press and the press itself largely smiled and masochistically took what he handed out because he was the Obamessiah and most of it was directed toward conservatives.
Now imagine if Trump started tracking a bunch of reporters phone calls, not because they were publishing classified information, but merely because they had published a story that Trump wanted to be the first to release. Or sicced the IRS after reporters who asked tough questions. The howls of outrage would be heard far and wide and those would be the lead stories for days on end as scowling left-wing pundits and politicians would be calling for impeachment.
Compare that to the "crime" of calling something "fake news"

Yeah, expecting the press to be unbiased and honest is very much the same as trying to silence or discredit them.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

A couple pieces by the rabidly anti-Trump New York Times:
[*Both stories continues at the above links*]
And yet ff wants us to believe that Trump is committing a "crime" by calling news outlets "fake news"

Originally posted by JimL View PostTrue, instead we have a narcissistic authoritarian boob who advocates for the shutting down of the free press.Originally posted by JimL View Post...Oh, perhaps its his attempt at tearing down democratic institutions such as free speech, freedom of the press, or maybe its the rampant corruption taking place within the swamp of his administration? Seriously, what were you expecting that he has delivered on you dupe?Originally posted by JimL View PostSeems a new found tactic from those who would like to take down the free press is to anonymously disseminate to the press seemingly authentic documents, wait for them to be revealed to the public, only to expose their inauthenticity after they've been published and thereby discrediting the media and destroying the careers of the journalists involved.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

What happened to her was horrible but your attempt to compare it to Trump calling out various networks and reporters for publishing/broadcasting bogus news stories was a joke.

To say that you're stretching things in an attempt to make a connection is an extreme understatement
