CNN’s Cuomo: There Is Something Wrong With Trump Attacking a Free Press
Breitbart ^ | May 1, 2017 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 05/01/2017 1:45:50 PM PDT by RArtfulogerDodger

"There is a good chance the president of the United States is watching us right now,” Cuomo said. “He watches this show. He monitors the media. He criticizes it. All of that is within his right. But with power comes accountability. And there is something wrong with him attacking a free press. There is something wrong with him wanting to change the libel laws.”

Yeah. What's wrong with it is that creeps like you, Koomo, have actual secret jobs enforcing your unreality on the gullible or drugged public

There’s something wrong with the supposedly “free” press doing nothing but attacking Trump, too.

So claiming his wife is a prostitute and he hires Russian prostitutes to urinate on his bed are to just be laughed off and accepted as “free” speech and not libel slander?

It’s not a free press. It’s a compromised press. We all know it. Trump is simply the first president in a very long time who is bring proactive about it.

There is something very wrong with a supposedly free press that believes they have a right to put their thumb on the electoral scales — like they admitted to and tried to justify prior to the November election.

But its ok for the MSM to attack parts of the media they hate.
The internet news will soon go the way of Fox News.

“The press” referenced in the First Amendment is a machine, not a group of people. There is no special category of people called “the free press” mentioned there. Freedom of the press is for everybody, and the modern version of the press is the internet. And nobody is immune from criticism from anybody, so these ignorant cup cakes should get the heck over themselves.

A Free Press?

(insert hysterical laughing here)

I have greater respect for the old days of Pravda in the USSR then I do for the “Free Press” we have in the USA today.

CNN’s Cuomo: There Is Something Wrong With Trump Attacking a Free Press

Cuomo can't even explain what he thinks is "wrong", he only says that it's "something". What an idiot.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with Trump or any president attacking FakeNews.

Irony:

But with power comes accountability. And there is something wrong with him attacking a free press.

The press has vast, almost unchecked power. But with power comes accountability. They are being called to account.

President Trump is not attacking freedom of the press; he is attacking a corrupt press that is free but wavering somewhere between deceptive and dishonest. President Trump is exactly right. If the press had any intellectual curiosity at all, they would ask themselves why everyone except democrats sees them as biased and corrupt.

But, it’s not a free press. It’s been bought and paid for by those such as the democratic party, Soros and other leftist. It doesn’t generally allow Conservatives in, so Conservatives are not “free” within the domain of the MSM. Most all of them say the same things, in exactly the same way, even down to the words they choose, so it is beyond obvious that they are in lock step, with marching orders from their controllers. No Conservative need apply.
