I’ve been saying since 1992 the press is the primary threat to the future of this constitutional republic. Good to see others are now catching on.

I used to joke that the media was an enemy.
I’m no longer joking.
Sooner or later, either we treat them as such or we bend over and assume the Obama position to anyone that wants a piece.

Look, when Puck magazine in 1888 printed this cartoon:

The Mainstream Media can abuse its First Amendment rights with disastrous results.

Nothing more, or less, than the propaganda wing of the Socialist Democrat National Committee.
They wouldn’t know real journalism if it hit them in the a$$!

Does anyone believe the media. The US leads the world in fake news media.

Is not the first time they have been thought of that way.

Lincoln suspended habeas corpus so he could throw them in jail. They were telegraphing northern army movements to the south.

They've been thought of like scum since the beginning of this country.

Franklin was one of the greatest muck rakers of his time.

Yep, the lyin’ main stream enemedia is nothing more than the communist propaganda arm of the world communist party, let alone the DNC.

Must think bigger. You can bet the handful of world politician owners are.

They are domestic enemies and willing accomplices to traitors and the NWO.

Elon Musk: “What I Find Most Surprising is That CNN Still Exists”

Tesla CEO calls out fake news that he didn’t send ventilators to hospitals.

You know CNN sucks the big one when even Elon Musk calls them fake news.

I have never seen nor heard of Laura Hollis in or on any of the Big Media.
Her very absence is to me proof of what she claims. Voices like hers are to kept out of sight and out of hearing.
Was Dr. Goebbels the author of today’s collegiate Journalism text books? It’s a thought.

Reminds me of a certain scene in the story “What I saw at the Coup”.

It’s not the enemy of the left. It is the primary tool.

I don’t want them to ‘do your job.’

I want them to die the death of 1,000 self-inflicted cuts, then be stamped into DUST!

I want to see the rise of people who only report the: ‘Who, What, Where, When, Why and How’ of a situation WITHOUT all of the personal projection!

They don’t even have to be ‘journalists!’

I know it is wrong of me to wish horrific, gibbering, flesh eating death upon the Enemedia, but there it is...

It seems like their primary job is to discredit President Trump.

Yet no mention of Comcast or ATT

This is the real problem.

NBC, MSNBC, Sky are Comcast
CNN is ATT

Telecom must not also control the news

They are enemies of everything good. A monstrous evil.

If ever there was a need for an investigation, this is it. Bribery, blackmail, payoffs, collusion would be rampant.
