Trump campaign tells TV producers ban Dems who claimed evidence of Russian collusion

[christiefan915]

Take into consideration that just days ago trump signed an EO to protect free speech on campuses.

"President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is taking its fight against Russia 'collusion' critics to the airwaves, pushing TV producers not to host prominent Democrats who talked up conspiracy charges that didn't pan out.

The effort, revealed in a memo by Trump's campaign communications director, urged by TV producers to keep in mind guests who he claims made 'outlandish' and 'false claims,' and cites Attorney General Bill Barr's summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's findings.

Communications Director Tim Murtaugh's letter singles out two powerful committee chairs – Reps. Jerold Nadler and Adam Schiff – as well as Rep. Eric Swalwell of the House Intelligence Committee and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez and Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut. It also lists former CIA Director John Brennan, a favorite target of President Trump's.

All are a staple of TV bookers and are unlikely to be blacklisted by the campaign's request. Nevertheless, the Trump camp compiled statements from each that says the guests should be asked about if and when they appear.

Yeah, but that is only for Reichwingers. Lefties must be stifled at all costs.

It was the only site I could find that had the whole memo. Others cropped it.

Infowars and Breitbart look pretty good compared to CNN and PMSNBC lately. Not that I recommend them. CNN and PMSNBC are a low bar.

How far are these people going to go? Look at what Slanders said: “The media and Democrats have called the president an agent of a foreign government,” Sanders said. “That is an accusation equal to treason, which is punishable by death in this country.”

It boggles my mind that the Reich appears to accept this kind of statement without giving it a second thought. It's creeping authoritarianism.

Pretty sad comparison, especially Infowars which is the dead nuts bottom of the barrel.

No. Just no.
Mainstream media might be trash, but at least they're held accountable. They're forced to admit it when they get caught in a big enough lie.

Just the fact that "we ask" is bad enough. trump is okay with free speech on campuses but not on TV? What a thin-skinned weenie he is. This letter is like something a Putin or a Duterte would write.

Agreed. Somehow CNN and PMSNBC found a way to lurk under the barrel.
