Why Should Anybody Else?

CNN’s Brian Stelter took his anti-Donald Trump bias to new heights Sunday during his show “Reliable Souses,” where he argued that the media had to start referring to the president-elect as an authoritarian. “I talk to international correspondents who say to you, ‘This is exactly what authoritarians do. This is what strongmen do. This is what happens in authoritarian regimes,’” he claimed, “I think we need to start using those words on TV, at least, to discuss the possibilities before us.”
“What you do in an authoritarian regime is you delegitimize the press,” he continued, as he asked former Fortune editor John Huey if he could see Trump cracking down on the press. Huey agreed and said that Trump practices “the classic techniques of a demagogue.” And according to him, one of the techniques is “to create the idea that someone out there is the enemy.”
“And he started with Mexicans, he moved to Muslims, and sometime in the middle of the summer he really started to focus on the media,” Huey explained, while praising Stelter for being, “one of the first people to pick up on that.” Come to think of it, Hillary Clinton’s claim that Trump’s supporters were a basket of deplorables falls into that narrative.
Huey continued to smear Trump by surmising that, “So these are demagogic techniques and you can look at them very seriously because they do smack of authoritarianism.” He went on to mock Trump reminding that panel “This is the first president-elect we've ever had who is in the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame. So there are elements of promotion here.”
The CNN host had George Washington University professor and former CNN Washington Bureau Chief, Frank Senso, on the program where Stelter inquired,

CNN should be removed from airports and any public venue. They are offensive. I don’t want to listen to their usual authoritarian spew. I laugh at their irrelevance.
Stelter is such a smarmy, ugly, insufferable putz.
I can’t even stand to look at him.
Amazing.....words, how they use words. All of them thru-out history. Yet they cannot survive with the truth.
So it’s bad to be an authoritarian now? They were practically begging Obama to be a “benign dictator” early in his administration.
Trump has a pen, a phone, and.....a Twitter account.
Does anyone watch CNN anymore?
Unless forced to?
5.56mm
Do I get to call the media “organ donors”? Just a passing thought.
““What you do in an authoritarian regime is you delegitimize the press,” he continued, as he asked former Fortune editor John Huey if he could see Trump cracking down on the press.”
Yeah, Hillary just kept them in the back of the plane, only letting them talk to her when their kneepads were firmly affixed. Obama just kept them waiting for hours while he played golf.
That is the only reason they have ratings....airports.
F the media.
Well, America DOES need a Pinochet, especially to send out hit squads to eliminate the biased lying media.
Sadly, Trump won't do it.
It makes me cry sometimes.
Wow! Imagine that. Calling a president a strong man.
They are!
They have as much power as one individual in the nation does.
Who knew?
Of course this nimrod wants this to be seen as evil.
LOL
Obama signing executive orders into law, wasn’t a strong man move?
The left sure has a deep bench when it comes to idiots.
i'll take a strongman over a week faggot every time
They have never encountered a LEADER, they are used to community organizers.
Thanks Mark Levin...smh...
#26 - the scary thing about that photo is that she was probably wearing her ‘happy’ face.
Just to double check, Clinton won 342 electoral votes as predicted, right?
They mock themselves and blame others. Guess that is a continuing self fulfilling prophecy.
