I did notice one from the NY Times but it was decades ago on someone named Duranty & Holmodor, what does any of this have to do with Trump's claim.


So do you have anything to support Trump's claim. A fake story regarding Saturday Night Fever doesn't qualify.

Plenty of them. Full of leftist propaganda.

I know, next response = name them.

Don't waste my time with that one, consider it homework.

Enemies of the press would be a good thing if the press and media owners and editors hopped off the lap of the obama admin and did their job on trump and successive ppresidents and administrations.


Where is the pressure on chicago mayor emanuel claiming the killing fields under his admin is declared a sanctuary?


Where is the press when obama declares the safest cities and states are the ones with the toughest gun laws. By that rule, Maine should be a bloodbath while DC, Newark and Chicago safe as can be. where are investigative reporters calling their bluff. Instead the media spins the lies for their favorites' benefit.


Without the free press there is no freedom.


they need to be taken to the woodshed for their treasonous behavior.
So they should be repeating right wing slanted falsehoods?

Most of the murders in Chicago are between rival African Americans...that as nothing to do with sanctuary cities.

So, the first item you think should be a news story is actually just right wing spin. Shocking.

Second, you're comparing Maine, a mostly rural state, to 2 densely populated cities with pockets of poverty where most of the violence occurs.

If these are the kind of things you think are "news", you've started mistaking right wing radio BS spin as news.

You need to be taken to the woodshed for thinking you have a friggin' clue about what news is supposed to be.

Yes there have been so many, yet we haven't seen any proof other than "Trump says so".

Many, mostly in Facebook, and from there they were copied here too. The "6 million amish pledging to vote for Trump" was a good example, and it should have been easy for anyone to verify as there aren't anywhere near that many amish in US. The "hiring protesters for $3 500" was another fake story, which was circulated here too.

They always claimed it was from wikileaks.

Then there was "Hillary's satanic dinner party".

In other words, you got nothing.

That was my favorite Stones album, DUUUUUUUUDE.

I'm pretty sure the Muslims dancing in the streets of Jersey City post 9/11 thing was pretty much a complete load of BS as well.

Seriously this sort of attempt to muzzle the press via intimidation is going to backfire spectacularly. Might take a bit, but making real actual enemies with these folks is foolish.
Actual enemies? That's a laugh.

I don't know if Trump is scolding the media, but I would imagine he is making it clear that they can't continue to write unfounded, and outright false stories without consequences. We could very well see certain networks lose access to the White House.

Hopefully these meetings with Trump will get them back to being a legitimate, and credible source of information again.

Because only Lord High Donny has that right?

Trump whining about false stories is laughable, the "thousands and thousands" he 'saw' celebrating in the streets of Jersey City on 9/11 all agree on that.

What a shame that despite all his family's $$$ a skin is apparently not within their means.
