I wonder if he is aware of the natural right of freedom of speech, which is guaranteed by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution? Somebody needs to tell him.

From the article...
“The New York Times, which is losing a fortune, which is a failing newspaper, which probably won’t be around much longer ... but I think the New York Times is one of the most dishonest media outlets I’ve ever seen in my life,” the businessman said. “They have an agenda that you wouldn’t believe.”

Americans know this. He should have stopped here. The market will take care of it.

What is it with all you guys with the 3 letter monikers that keep spamming FR with your TDS?

Do you get paid, or do your handlers just water you every 4 years to keep you from wilting away?

Can't disagree with Trump on that.

Defending free speech is one thing...defending the media is another...

Donald Trump has no clue what he is talking about. POTUS has no authority to change the laws or to squelch freedom of the press.
Anyone who would make statements like this is a raving lunatic, Obama II with dictatorial aspirations, and an ignorant ass to boot.
And I cheerfully invite him to sue me.

The Constitution to him is just like it is to liberals...it means what comes into their heads. This bozo actually thinks freedom of speech and press is some thing he can get a law passed against. Wait for the Trumpbots to come along and agree with him!!

I never thought I would see the day when I defend the NYT or Washington Post.

But if we don’t defend them from a President Trump, then what happens when a Democrat President decides to use the same thing Trump is proposing to intimidate Rush or Levin or others?

This is very scary stuff. Trump is now threatening news organizations that he thinks have covered him unfairly. This is a very scary time for our Republic. Here is one of Trump’s quotes from the Article - I agree with much of the first part of his quote but look at the threat he makes in the second paragraph - it is chilling.

“The New York Times, which is losing a fortune, which is a failing newspaper, which probably won’t be around much longer ... but I think the New York Times is one of the most dishonest media outlets I’ve ever seen in my life,” the businessman said. “They have an agenda that you wouldn’t believe.”

“If I become president, oh, do they have problems. They’re gonna have such problems,” Trump said.

Allright WE all know , here and there , that MSM are “fair and balanced” .

Surely Trump is going too far and he should play kissy kissy with MSM ....

Try to be serious just a minute !
Trump is facing the power of MSM ? He can’t be a bad man then

GO TRUMP

Trump and his Fanboys aren’t big fans of the 1st amendment. No surprise there.
