"Trump suggests pulling credentials from 'corrupt' media"

[archives]

"President Donald Trump complained Wednesday that his administration receives overwhelmingly negative coverage from network news outlets and floated the idea of pulling credentials from outlets whose reporting is deemed unfair by the White House"

Guess he knows he has the White House's network sowed up so he has to go after the Network News given their numbers are ten times that of his own network

It seems that along with his strategdy to totally discredit the Justice Dept the President is now escalating his attacks on the First Amendment, pretty scary when the leader of any democracy works to negate that which in a democracy are designed to purposely serve as a check on abuses of power

Trump has no shame.. He can't censor the press.. What he calls fake news is simply news that doesn't praise him.

The guys a sycophant to his own ego. We would have been just as well to elect one of the housewives of New Jersey, or Charlie Sheen.

Why does the White House need to have liars sitting in the briefing room who aren't there to get informed, but rather, try to make a headlines for themselves?

You're dead wrong; it really is FAKE news. The entire premise that Russia helped get Trump elected is a BIG lie. The notion that Trump can't pay someone to sign an NDA or that it is somehow a campaign contribution is ludicrous and borderline retarded.

Watch a Sunday news show; they will have one conservative and four liberals. Then when they ask a Republican a question, they attempt to argue with them. When a Democrat is asked a question, they are in agreement.

They aren't the news anymore; they are a branch of the Democratic Party of the Jackass and no longer even attempt to feign impartiality.

Trump just wants all the news to flatter and praise him. He's like an addict.

That's nothing but a lie. You are borderline sociopath in that I don't even think you know when you are spewing lies.

Link? That said, if you are a news organization, you should be dealing in facts, not hyperbole, lies, distortions and innuendo because you don't like the outcome of an election.

There you go again daffy cartoon Ken; but it isn't an attempt to defeat the press, it is an attempt to actually have a press corps, not a gossip tabloid devoted to lying.

What a stupid ranking; who does that shit? Some loony left wing think tank?

So tell us, how is the press not free in this country? Who is preventing them from saying what they want? Be specific and accurate.
