Unnecessary invective. You always say how chill you are, but the tone your posts contradicts that.Originally Posted by *
Trump doesn't like a free press; he's made that pretty clear. It absolutely has a chilling effect, but - as with even the most oppressive countries - there are journalists who are still willing to speak the truth.

Present evidence that threats of lawsuits and general intimidation from someone at the highest position of power has any effect?
Seriously?

yes seriously. There is no evidence to suggest the press has been chilled into silence in the slightest. They are emboldened, and heavily protected. No stormtroopers are coming into their offices. No sanctions have been given. They write want they want to, as they always have. You have zero evidence that it goes in the other direction. There is plenty of evidence to suggest nothing has changed. You believe in fake news.

Oh, hi
The founding fathers never said that.
It is so hilarious how the Dems had no problem when Obama waged war on fox and now the same whiny hypocrites can't stand the fact Trump won't put up with their yellow rag journalism.

Maybe you can help out, who was the last US President to declare that the "press was the enemy of the American people?"
Yeah, he's all about freedom of the press
And I you got to love the "leaned in hard on trump," incase you didn't notice, the media martyr role reached its point of diminishing returns after WaterGate, and that was nearly a half a century ago, besides the Don loves the media, his whole existence is based upon media coverage, if they did nothing and ignored him he'd more pissed

the media is operating as they always have.
Trump is allowed to criticize fake news media.
No one has been chilled into silence, the media has been embolden and frequently criticizes trump without penalty.
All the evidence suggests it's business as usual. Thing1 and others have no evidence to the contrary.

Trump has spent a great deal of time trying to dismantle and discredit some of our most vital institutions, including the 4th estate and FBI.
It's pretty classic 3rd-world, dictator strategy. Textbook.

Obama "waged war on Fox," beautiful, did Obama ever proclaim "that the press is the enemy of the American people?"
