In the meantime, Liberals across the USA are shutting down free speech in college campuses.

Criticizing a propaganda machine as an "enemy of the people" is not criticism of free press. It's a plea to regain it.
well said!!!!!!

If some of these news agencies told you that Trump said that and then did it; many of you would believe it without even checking to see if it is true. I see people posting on Facebook who should know better posting pure lies that the national news told them and they not only believe it but they pass the lies on. One should at least fact check something before repeating it.

CNN and NYT aren't free press. They are fake. Their HQ are directly located in hell. Trump will send uranium to hell to destroy CNN and the NYT.

LOL. I'm impressed. A little humor is appropriate right now.

The great Orange Oz is not going to be able to shut down the free press. Most people are too smart to fall for his pathological lying and attempt to deflect from the truth. He only serves to make himself look foolish with this garbage. The truth will come out in the end. It always does.

One minute he is claiming a 'truth' that he saw on the news and the next minute he's calling them fake.

Pretty clear who the dishonest fake is.

Let it all out. You'll feel better. And don't worry, as much as you're going into "freakout-mode", Trump is not going to shutdown the media so you'll still be able to continue enjoying Peppermint Patty's show on MSNBC.

When the media is lying for your party the Democrats on a day to day basis of course you don't want them called out. A free press assumes is the media isn't lying or controls the info that's put out. Nazi Germany put out false propaganda so in essence the media is more similar to them they have it totally backwards.

Prove it. Your opinion about it means nothing.
