Calling out the press’ lies is NOT speech suppression.

Shutting down criticism of the press IS speech suppression.

McCain is an old fool. Trump is NOT suppressing freedom of the press. But the left IS trying to suppress freedom of speech.

The press has already been subverted. Trump is trying to liberate it.

McCain is a Horse’s Ass who should have retired years ago. He clearly has some mental problems at his advanced age, and isn’t doing the country any good whatsoever by constantly trying to get attention in the media.

Most thinking/intelligent people can clearly see that he is delusional if not worse.

We have a free press. They can print whatever they want....and they do. Truth doesn’t enter into it.

McCain has Stockhold Syndrome. Loved by the press right up until he became the republican candidate.

McCain doesn’t understand that President Trump isn’t “suppressing” the press, he’s holding it responsible for what they report.

"He has been rogue for several years. I think he is just green with envy that an outsider has captured the WH when he did so poorly during his run."

Had he listened to Sarah Palin and not Steve Schmidt and how they boxed her in, this past Jan 20th he'd have been a retiring POTUS.

He Fubar'd that one not I or any of us Wacko-Birds on FreeRepublic. With all do respect to your Military Service Senator, when it comes to your Presidential run, you blew it, not us...

McCain is such an ass, he obviously forgot how the press treated his running mate and too much of pussy to stand up for her.

What publication has been censored or shut down? What journalist has been fired, arrested or imprisoned? For a dictator bent on destroying the free press, Trump is getting off to a pretty weak start.
