No, he is only about 2% as powerful as the media, and his truth quotient is about 5 times as high, although that's not saying much.

Post like this and people like you and Sean Hannity are really just advocating for the destruction of the news media and Free Speech. One day all you'll have left is your delusions and your paranoia because you advocated for no more news and no more information. And because all you want Is propaganda that you agree with. One day you may get your wish and either will have state-run media propagandizing only what the President says like Fox News or just your paranoid delusions and good luck to you. It sounds to me like you are just advocating for people in the media to be arrested for saying things that you don't agree with and or lose their jobs just because they decided to say things you didn't agree with. And this country though we still have free speech for now deal with it

We live in a free enterprise economy. They object of a company is to make money for the owners and stockholders.
Wrong.

That is the object of most companies. Other companies, like the mainstream media companies, are viewed as tools to serve some other purpose. The purpose of mainstream media outlets is to enable the owner to mislead the public for the owner's benefit.

Same way we keep Trump accountable when he lies.

Humor and mockery are the best weapons in these cases.

Of course, they can, as long as someone is willing to pay for the power to defraud the American people.

They can’t. America is not in the game of censorship.

The media will continue to air their fake news, your option is to not watch it

So what do you want some news organizations just parrot whatever the president says 24/7? you already have that option in Fox. There is not one ounce of credibility there and we'll hold the president accountable for anything at least the rest of the media will.

And no, 'vote them out' isn't enough if their lies have caused damage to the country.
The media has a huge amount of power and I find it baffling how many people defend them. What's the agenda of those defending these liars?
