breathtaking...

I think a huge portion of this country wants a propaganda ministry.

More like Trump is afraid of being challenged and embarassed by reporters on the national stage, which comes with the territory of I dunno, BEING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

And secondly, I'd love you to explain WH interference with the FBI.
Park your paranoia.

Every administration has tried to influence the various different agencies.

Sheesh.

But what I like best is watching liberals writh in virtual pain and horror and shock over every perceived outrage coming from Trump.

I would pay to see this daily occurrence.

I would probably ban something stupid like the Enquirer that we all know makes up fantasy stories but to ban mainstream media? Just because they don't agree with Trump? Doesn't seem right.


Exactly. Sure, allow in Briebart and whoever. They're allowed. At the same time you still have to allow CNN/NYT/BBC etc. Unless of course you're trying to be an autocrat.

Still wouldn't care. Different strokes for different folks.

We've already got one, the MSM. We need a propaganda ministry to counter the lying MSM to allow Americans to hear honest news.

Just out of curiosity, have you even been out of the country? Have you ever experienced an actual dictatorship? Have you ever been warned your hotel room is probably bugged? Have you ever been warned to be careful what you say or who you say it to? Have you waited hours at the airport, both arriving and leaving while either customs or the security services at the airport tear your luggage to shreds looking for smuggled contraband or confiscating any reading materials.? Have you ever walked into a market and people are afraid to talk to you?

Dictatorship. You people are so ignorant.

This is what happens when people believe the fake news.

People that are so out of touch with reality are truly are scary.

Why should the President continue to support failing old media institutions who attack him constantly and are basically a propaganda arm of the Democrat party. Fox just crushes cnn and mscnb all the time, the new york times is just in total decline, I have had NYT stock since 2000 when it was around 40 -50 a share, its probably heading back to single digits, their numbers are terrible.

La times owners ,tribune media, are in a free fall as well , technological changes , loss of circulation to new media ,declining revenues. Why should the president help these losers, I would ban them for good.

Breitbart is one of the most most trafficked pure news websites in America, beats out Washington post , LA times. I just wish drudge report would stop sending traffic to NY times, CNN,etc. They deserve their decline, we need a new media to replace this old media mediocrity . Drudge report is my home page, I could care less if they ever linked to CNN again unless its something major cnn breaks, which is very rare.
