Monday’s network morning shows were aghast at President Trump continuing to criticize the liberal media with a Friday tweet in which he labeled them “fake news” and “the enemy of the American people.” In response, the ABC, NBC, and CBS broadcasts accused him of “declaring an all-out war on journalists” and compared Trump to Richard Nixon in the midst of Watergate.

On ABC’s Good Morning America, correspondent Cecilia Vega highlighted how the President “hit the road for a re-election rally” while “taking aim at his favorite target, the media,” remarking that “No Donald Trump rally would be complete without a healthy dose of media bashing.” She then proclaimed: “The latest onslaught follows this tweet, the President declaring all-out war on journalists, calling them ‘The enemy of the American people.’”

As of 2015, Comcast Corporation is the largest media conglomerate in the US, with The Walt Disney Company, Twenty-First Century Fox, Time Warner, and National Amusements ranking second, third, fourth and fifth.

In 1983 there were 50 major media corporations.

Now there are five. They control 90% of the media. About 200 billionaires and multi-multi-millionaires control them all, many controlling more than one, directly or via proxy.

They is way too monopolistic. They need to be busted up.

Already, “the revolt of the billionaires” is underway, actively seeking to censor what news we can see and hear, *in any forum* Very few billionaires are left who are not party to this effort to establish multinational corporate government.

They must be stopped. Their corporations must be busted up.

Not only is Trump using their M.O., he’s using the very term they invented to discredit sympathetic news sources. MAN, that hurts their little feelings SO MUCH.

Watching Alinskyites getting hit with their own tactics is such sweet schadenfreude.

And besides, those morons decry war after they fired the first shots.

LOL! A lot of us have been waiting a long time for that. Harkens back to wally concrete telling us we were done for.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Until they fully investigate and report on:
Bill Clinton’s rapes;
Hillary’s cattle futures;
Vince Foster’s “suicide;”
All the supicious Clinton associate deaths, murders, suicides
Who hired Craig Livingstone?;
Clinton’s “charitable foundations;”
Obama’s school attendance and grades information;
And last but not least ...
Obama’s fake, fraudulent and forged “birth certificate;

The MSM will continue to be the enemy of the American people.

Cecilia Vega — one of the 20 “journalists” who met and dined with Hillary’s campaign team days before Clinton officially announced her candidacy for president.

In other words, Cecilia Vega, like George Stephanopoulos are Democrats and Hillary supporters masquerading as objective new reporters.

The dishonesty and deceitfulness is breathtaking.

Trump is on a re-election campaign. Obama went on a world apology tour. I’ll take Trump.

We don’t need the “old gotcha” press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president and his voters/us.

We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trump’s comments and statements are for his voters. We don’t need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us.

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle it as the article title, “Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.”

The lying msm brought it on themselves.

[taterjay]

Haha. Now they know what it is like being a Republican with the media attacking them all the time.

[peeps36]

I never in my life witnessed the media work so hard to overturn the will of the people. It's disgusting to hear their lies and attacks on the president every single day. They are like pathetic spoiled two year olds who piss and moan because they can't have things their way. They destroyed themselves.

Trump understands that the media (with few exceptions) are his enemy and the enemy of the people that gave him power.

What he did in that last pressser was not just denounce the media but put them on trial before the American people with the purpose of deligitimizing them in the eyes of the American people. In other words to do to them what they are trying to do to him.

He succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

But he can’t let up, he has to continue the assault.
