What is frightening is the speed and efficiency that he snowed the most vulnerable of our population- the hard core right.
Well, when there is a vacuum......you know what happens....... Simple applied physics.

If you find an empty space you get to fill it with your crap.

Not true. He just wants them to report the truth. As he said in his presser, he can take a bad story. If it is true. The twisted and often untrue narrative the press insists on is what he (and other Americans) have a problem with.

Just the suggestion of shutting up the press is ridiculous as all President Trump does is to show how ridiculous they are with their propaganda reporting

So, shall we take mccain out of the picture on this? Think back to the basic premise, which is that someone who wants to be a dictator will act first to stifle the press... there may be a point to that:

"after months of arrests and detentions of prominent journalists, the country hit a new low: courts seized control of opposition newspaper Zaman, one of Turkey’s leading media outlets."

Turkey's assault on press freedom is the act of a dictatorship, not a democracy | Coffee House

"If some websites and stories even slightly criticised the election, the Intore immediately logged comments ridiculing and denouncing the authors, and saying that their lives in Rwanda were happy. They wrote vehement letters to newspapers defending the president and his victory – and always gave their full names, so they could be seen for this loyalty. They knew the president’s office was watching."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...hed-free-press

"The main purpose of this campaign is to depict what the world of news would look like if independent journalism ceased to exist. More than likely, we would have a one-sided story, and a blindfold over our eyes."
