Kind of ironic that Trump hired a scumbag media person to run his campaign, and another one (the sex offender) to advise him.

Laughable.


They are the lowest form of life.

And, pray tell, how is calling the media the lowest form of life going put you in jail?


Laughable.

CNN did this to itself. It was once a decent news outlet. Now it's a DNC newsletter.

Trump on freedom of the press:

Quote:
One of the things I’m gonna do, and this is only gonna make it tougher for me, and I’ve never said this before, but one of the things I’m gonna do if I win… is I’m gonna open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money. We’re gonna open up those libel laws.
...
With me, they’re not protected, because I’m not like other people…We’re gonna open up those libel laws, folks, and we’re gonna have people sue you like you never get sued before.
"With me, they're not protected". And his followers love it.

lets hate the gay community.
lets hate Muslims and Mexicans.
lets hate all minorities.
lets hate the government.
lets hate the duly elected President.
etc etc etc.

Oh please, the reason his words against the media are so popular, (NOT just from those on the right, you will see respect from many on the left as well when it comes to Trump bashing the lying scum media even if those people otherwise do not like Trump at all), is because MANY in this country, except the die hard, completely ignorant Hillary supporters, absolutely despise the media. CNN is one of the least watched stations for a reason and that started long before Trump came in to the picture.

The only people being played are the fools who stick up for corrupt, bought off media.

The scary part is that Trump is such a thin skinned, whiny b*tch who has now BANNED numerous media outlets who have printed critical stories about him from interviewing him and is having no trouble turning the rubes in attendance to direct their wrath against the media in attendance. He goes on his foot stomping tirades against the media at his Nuremberg style rallies, and the clueless, drooling sheep in the audience pick up on his cues and turn their hate towards the media present who are trying to cover the whole train wreck they are sitting and listening to.

You actually believe that Fox isn't also hated by most Conservatives? When are idiot libs going to get it through their thick skulls that most on the right don't trust Fox, either. Lefty fools keep slamming on Fox thinking it's a slam on Republicans...no, it's not. ALL media lies....for the love of GOD, how many times for how many years have I been saying that on here?
