So the assault on the free press is much broader (candidacy, illegal)

He could increase his popularity hugely if he would lay off the tweet and moderate his rhetoric.

No media in all of history has been more critical of the POTUS other than Trump..

This, and global liberal extremists to boot.

And it's right wing extremists that want to end freedom for the media.

Why on earth would he do that? With the constant bootlicking he got from them?

Right wing extremists are just fighting back against the weaponized politicized media, not to mention the weaponized politicized FBI, CIA, NSA, DOJ, IRS, academia, Hollywood, SNL...

Here are 2 statements, both of which are true:

1. The U.S. GDP grew every year under President Obama.

2. Obama presided over the slowest economic recovery since World War II.

If you only mention 1 without mentioning 2, are you telling the truth, a lie or a half-truth?

This is just an example of the way in which the liberal media covers every story to advance their political agenda. That is why it is fake news.

Do you have any proof of this? Or are you just parroting MSNBC talking points?

Well the fact that the right wing are constantly harping on about the media and how it lies is the proof that I need. Like how do they know that Trump isn't the one lying.
