He did. But what did he squelch in the process? Or what news agency did he call fake news? He never tried to keep the press out of press conferences. Or allow Russian news media into meetings where American press were not allowed. I think there is a difference.

So CNN was trying to blackmail the wrong person.
So, CNN is doing a fake blackmail.

CNN's now being played like Joe Sausagehead, unlike CNN has been playing their fan base and regular viewers with all the bogus "news" they've been spewing.
If this was trump would you call it punching back harder?

Comey better hope there are no tapes. Was that a threat? Did that bother you?

I haven't seen Trump take any action to squelch the free press. What are you talking about?

So what?

What needs to be repeated, and repeated, is that CNN, an enormous and influential corporation got ridiculously butt-hurt due to a silly (and yes, it was very silly) meme created by some guy on the Internet.

Think about that, first. CNN got freaking butt-hurt about a silly meme.

Then think about CNN's absolutely disgusting reaction of searching for the guy and threatening to out / dox him for exercising his 1st Amendment right to political expression.

Think about that!

That is the definition of "chilling", and CNN deserves every bit of criticism and abuse now being directed at it and its ultra-thin-skinned reporters.

I mean, it was bad enough that CNN has been little more than a political propaganda outlet for the Dems for years. CNN has now sunk to a new low. Shocking, as CNN was already the dregs of the barrel, so to speak.

Those of you defending CNN scare the living daylights out of me. You are also likely the ones calling Trump a Fascist. The fact that you are not only ignorant of the rights protected by our Constitution but also irony-challenged would be hilarious, were it not so horrifying.

What is it you morons say? Get Woke!

If someone photoshopped a Trump logo, they would be hit with a copyright lawsuit. CNN is being magnanimous.
Stop. Please!

Where does this ignorance come from?

Political speech is precisely what is protected by the 1st Amendment of our Constitution.

Have you never heard of the 1st Amendment?

Come on, people!
