Katy Tur: Trump Trying To Undercut And Diminish The American Free Press To Spin Truth...(Vid)
Real Clear Politics ^ | November 21, 2016 | Ian Schwartz

MSNBC's Katy Tur complains that Donald Trump may avoid the media to "spin the truth in his favor" "without the filter of the press." From a roundtable with MSNBC reporters Tamron Hall, Katy Tur and Kristen Welker Monday morning:

KATY TUR, MSNBC: Donald Trump is going to try to do things his own way. We know he has already used Twitter to his advantage in that sense and try to get out his message without the filter of the press. That way Donald Twitter can say what he wants to say. Sometimes, spin the truth in his favor.

TAMRON HALL, MSNBC: It's like we're getting a little bit of Trump TV. The prediction if he lost was to start his own network. He is in a sense starting his own line of communication avoiding the media.

The Liberal Media is terrified of The Donald. They think he will send them to Guantanamo Bay

I fear they are wrong about this...

Calling today’s press a filter is like saying you should run tap water through used kitty litter before drinking it.

That is the BEST analogy I have ever seen.

Trump is demonstrating that he has taken great strides in making the LSM irrelevant and they are scared to death that the only way to get in on the action will be to tell the Truth - which they know they are incapable of doing so they will now claim that unfiltered truth is akin to treason....Priceless!

“filter of the press”

Now that is one dang offensive line. Americans need the whole truth not the watered down liberal media lies of half-truths and distorted reality

Read the Wilileaks Kathy child, we don’t have a “Free Press”. We have a DNC directed Media. Trumps is treating “the Press” exactly as the Press’s actions warrant.

They are finished...no way to recover. If he goes for eight years....they will be forcing a large number of journalists to retire or seek other jobs in life.

One of the lesser noticed Obama Admin changes to the law was legislation authorizing the government to disseminate “domestic propaganda” - and obvious Obama Era ploy to use government propaganda to supplement the main stream media’s private sector propaganda to further his progressive agenda to fundamentally change America.

Trump could encourage congress to reinstate the Smith-Mundt Act.

Libs, progs, snowflakes, lefties of every stripe appear to need their news set in some "context" to be properly understood.

How do you “spin” the truth? It is either truth or it’s not.

He is in a sense starting his own line of communication avoiding the media.

Last night's YouTube Transition address was on Twitter and Gab within minutes.

I was one of many posting & re-Tweeting it. :)

I like the article posting, but third-party videos suck.

Period.
