Meaning you can't answer question.

the way they are going they are going to silence themselves through lack of advertisers.

not too much to ask for the press to report the truth objectively. they do that and they will gain readers back.

90% of the "free press" on the planet is controlled by a small group of people/companies - and most have it in for Trump.

Who exactly is he shutting down? Calling them out isn't shutting them down.

You people have simply done a swan dive off the deep end of reality.

Hyperbole and hysteria, the fodder of fools and Leftists who riot and intimidate others to suppress the free speech of anyone who disagrees with the Progressive party line.

I'm well aware of German history leading up to the second World War, that little article is no match for the thousands of pages I've read on it.

I'm going to ask you again, what actions has Trump taken to prevent the press from printing what they want?

The first thing a dictator does is use the press for propaganda, ie: Main Stream Media.

Judge Orinda Evans didn’t all out declare that CNN was peddling in falsehoods, she did take aim at the network in an initial judgment in favor of a former hospital CEO who sued CNN accusing them of purposely skewing statistics to reflect poorly on a West Palm Beach hospital. Judge Evans didn’t mince words in her 18-page order allowing the case to move forward, and dismissing CNN’s attempt to get it thrown out of court.

And the WSJ's, WaPo's, NYT's total fabrication of the top YouTuber:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...semitic-jokes/

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/b...be-disney.html

You don't have to like this YouTuber, you don't even have to like YouTube at all. It doesn't matter. What they did was take everything totally and completely out of context and did a hit piece on him.

Result? More people who once believed the media have now come to understand that the media lies. This lie caused a huge backlash for these media outlets...from young people that they hoped to shape in to thinking certain ways. Again, who cares if you don't like YT or anyone on it, these fans, (53 million plus) in addition to many who are not subscribed to this YouTuber, saw the media for exactly what it is: A lying propaganda machine.

Don't care? They are "idiotic teens"? Those were potential future subscribers to those media outlets...and they have now lost them.

Good job, lame stream. You targeted the one person that 53 million PLUS know very well, and have now lost millions upon millions of people who used to believe you.

One other thing, the Nazi's started gun confiscation long before they started shutting down the free press. that is the first action of most dictators.

McCain is the epitome of the term, "cuckservative."

[Scrat335]

The "free press" put a price on itself and sold out in this country a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago.

It is now available to the highest bidder just like our ***** politicians.

Can someone remind me which party coined the term "hate speech"?
