President Donald Trump ridiculed the “fake news media” on Thursday, calling them the “opposition party” as he continues to clash with the establishment media over their coverage of his administration. “THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THE OPPOSITION PARTY,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “It is very bad for our Great Country….BUT WE ARE WINNING!”
The description of the media as the “opposition party” was first coined by his former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, in an interview with the New York Times shortly after Trump was inaugurated.
“I want you to quote this,” Bannon said in January 2017. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”
The establishment media repeatedly criticize Trump for using the phrase “enemy of the people” to describe them, fearing he is inciting physical violence against their employees.

President Trump, Making News REAL Again
As in a threat to the republic?
The major media is a clear and present danger to the country and they are lucky that the American people have not started treating them as such.
The LSM are certainly colluding with the rats to Dump Trump.
If we want a Free Press, Independent Journalists must NOT be banned on social media (YouTube, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.), or cut off from their sources of funding by PayPal, Patreon, etc.
This even applies to Independent Journalists whom the Fake News establishment defines as purveyors of “hate speech”!!!!
Our Founding Fathers mainly wrote the First Amendment guarantee of “freedom of the press” for Independent Journalists!!!! Look at the history of the Amendment and of the 18th-early19th century press in America if you don’t believe me!!
The Fake News establishment (Boston Globe, New York Times, Washington Post, etc. etc.) are nothing but hypocrites if they publish the editorials they did today, and do not defend Independent Journalists!!!!
Having free speech AND free press means that ANYONE is free to criticize news stories they disagree with....even the President.
“Opposition” . . . as in “Democrat”.
The Fourth Estate has become the Fifth Column
Nothing more true today
True Dat! 5th Column Communists!
Most Damaging Wikileaks: Podesta emails
5. Why is the media barely covering them?
A: Because almost 100% of mainstream media sources, as well as several prominent publishing news sources are implicated in the leaks in colluding with the Clinton campaign. These “news” sources (as you will find in the leaks below) have conspired to get Hillary elected, by only reporting anti-Trump smear pieces, manufacturing or exaggerating scandals, and hiding anything damaging to Hillary. Most are even donating big money to the Clinton campaign in order to keep the globalist status-quo. These revelations are the stories journalists dream of, but CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, Huffington Post, AP, and several more are all implicated in the leaks. This is why the media has been so one sided this election season, and why only 6% of people trust the mainstream media. Trump hasn’t helped with some past comments, but as CNN said here, the media is doing everything they can to help Hillary and give her a free ride...
35. List of reporters that Hillary wined and dined, including biggest journalists and pundits of CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, NY Times, and a lot more. Off the record.
37. The New York Times colluding with Hillary, allowed quote edits...
97. ‘The Huffington Post’ colluded with Hillary

Wikipedia: Newspaper endorsements in the United States presidential election, 2016
Media journalist Jim Rutenberg writes that endorsements in the 2016 presidential election are distinguished by “blunt condemnation” of the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and by a “save the Republic” tone.
Many newspapers that endorsed Clinton encouraged readers to vote for her primarily, if not solely, to prevent Trump from being elected president...
Summary of daily newspapers
Hillary Clinton endorsements: 243
Donald Trump endorsements: 20

UPDATED: Rap Sheet: ***544** Acts of Media-Approved Violence and Harassment Against Trump Supporters
by John Nolte
When not calling Trump supporters “Nazis” as a means to dehumanize us, the establishment media like to whine about the lack of civility in American politics, even as they cover up, ignore, downplay, or straight-up approve of the wave of violence and public harassment we are seeing against supporters of President Trump.
It is open season on Trump supporters, and the media is only fomenting, encouraging, excusing, and hoping for more…
This list will be updated as needed. Back-filling it will be an ongoing project…

I stopped watching network news and their endless 24/7 slander, mock, attack Trump.
It must be agonizing for those still watching that worn out, beaten down, same old crap.
The fake news media journalists are propaganda outlets for the fascist Democrat Party, because they were approved by their feminist instructors in university English departments. As long as that practice is backed by university administrators and influential alumni (big corporations and government offices), the media companies will continue to operate as the enemy of the U.S.A.
And communication departments are just as bad (re. broadcasters). So are medical departments (especially nursing). They are under the control of women’s studies administrators and their many guest speakers (instructors from other departments).
