Even Taiwanese Animators take notice of dishonesty at CNN these days.

Shouldn't we expect them to be honest, fair and always seeking for the truth?
Nixon hated the press just as Trump. Nixon shut them down and now Trump is trying to do the same. Yes, the press is honest, fair and always gets to the truth. Who do you think brought Nixon down. But it took years. The press never gave up though. And they aren't going to give up with Trump.

"Yes, the press is honest, fair and always gets to the truth."

Over 1,400 lost political seats and counting.

And they wonder why!

How does Trump try to shut down the press?

Bans press from briefings, conducts off camera gaggles and demand reporters not talk about what they're doing there. Demeans the media and journalists constantly to make the population oppose and assault the press. Gives exclusive privilege to Fox and Russia media, making them essentially state sponsored media.

What Trump is doing with the Press is exactly what dictatorships like Russia do.

Well put.

The day after Trump fired Comey, he met with Russian diplomats/spies in the Oval Office, allowed Russian press but barred American press.

When I read that, I thought folks from both sides of the aisle would go WTF was that about?

But Trump and the Republicans seem just fine with it.

Republicans also appear to be fine with Trump passing classified information to the Russians without any involvement of the intelligence services.

Astonishing.

So, the media is colluding with the democrats. Too funny. How does one explain, then, the loss for democrats of the last few special elections to Congress? (Remember, Georgia democrats weren't able to put Jon Ossoff in office). Both houses of congress are dominated by the GOP. We have a GOP president.

How is the media 'colluding' with the democrats?
