and ANTIFA, BLM , Black Panthers and La Raza supported Obama and the democrat party supports those groups, your point??
Trump can speak all he wants about fake news.......you either believe him or you don't.......the majority of Americans already believes the MSM report fake news....that's before Trump got to the W.H., that's on the MSM.
But so far on this thread there has been only one posting of an actual "fake news" incident. Seems like people talk about the fake news but can't come up with more than one instance of it.

You only asked for one instance and I provided it. Now you want to move the goal posts ?

yeah, ok, I get your point But still, there should be lots of egregious examples of fake news if it is as rampant as apparently most Americans think it is. Myself I don't see it, except when it comes to Fox New

Wait a minute now. So you think Fox news gives out "fake news" but the rest don't ?
That's a bit hypocritical of you there don't you think ?
Personally I think the media has injected too much bias into their news reporting.
It's no longer "give them the facts" and then let people make up their minds.
Media today, both sides, is more of "tell them what we want them to know".
OK, what about Trump tweeting the video of himself fake wrestling a figure with a CNN logo as its head? That is inciting violence against the media. Trump is not a private citizen. He is a public servant and represents the American people.
If reporters are afraid to attend a Trump rally because they are afraid of being attacked by the crowd, and Trump is encouraging and inciting hatred of the press, and that very crowd is chanting against reporters---yes I see that as efforts to silence the media. Or at least intimidate the media.
Internationally 22 journalists have been killed so far in 2017, 259 imprisoned in 2016, 55 are missing globally.
Trump should not be inciting violence against the free press because his statements are signals to authoritarian regimes everywhere.

I disagree. Not to mention, it's the kind of thing a 10-year-old 4chan bully would tweet, which is where the meme probably originated. It's not presidential. It's infantile and undignified.
OK, I researched it, and the gif of Trump wrestling a CNN-logo-beheaded figure originated on reddit. It was posted by a user who also posted a variety of anti-semitic and racist posts. Oh, the company Trump keeps.
how is trump 'trying to silence the media'? be specific.
By attacking it, calling them liars, fake, and sick people. He is posting videos where he is violently attacking them. He is trying to bully them to silence. Where have you been? Prison?
