Bloomberg News reports that the House Judiciary Committee, which is currently led by Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), will seek to investigate Trump calling the media “fake news” and “enemies of the people.”
“The committee will study whether such actions either reflect or blur the Constitution’s separation The president’s repeated declarations that the “fake news” media is the “enemy of the people” has indeed upset many Democrats and media figures.
Possible 2020 hopeful and media darling Beto O’Rourke used the line to attack Trump and Republicans in 2018, accusing him of inciting violence against the media.
“This idea fronted by the president that somehow the press are the enemy of the people, reinforced by him tweeting out images of a reporter being hit by a train, body slammed in a wrestling ring, it is incitement to violence. I don’t know any other way to call it,” O’Rourke said.
Before the 2018 midterms, Trump doubled down on his attacks against the media, saying that it was not him but reporters and pundits who were fostering violence in America.
“A lot of reporters are creating violence by not writing the truth,” he said. “The fake news is creating violence. And you know what? The people that support Trump, and the people the support us, which is a lot of people, most people, those people know when a story is true, and they know when a story is false.”

Congressional Democrats are planning to hold hearings about President Trump’s criticisms of establishment news outlets, according to a new report.
_________
Little wiggly Francis O. is wetting his pants down there in Texas.
The Dems supporting their allies.
“:News” is what the Dems say it is.
(9/11, we forgot you) SHAME ON US!
This is the most ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars I have read about so far today.
What are they going to do, Call POTUS to testify and slap him on the wrist?
What a joke these people are!!
Should be interesting. Are they sure they want to revisit all the fake news their propagandists have put out so far?
Dem leaders need to reassure their propagandists that they have their backs.
Backfire.
News outlets my ass, they are left wing propaganda machines.
“This is the most ridiculous waste of taxpayer dollars I have read about so far today.”
This will subtract from the time they have to craft un-American laws that will further enslave us citizens. (In every cloud a silver lining.)
All the Republicans have to put on a billboard is this at the hearing:
I hear Trump once ripped the tag off of a mattress.
Better get the Judiciary Committee to investigate that too.
It’s a good thing we don’t have any “real” problems to solve.
only if all the crud hillary, obamma, comey, rosenstein, might have the clap_er, and strok an friends are not given long terms in prison it is all a joke, get ready, we have no law..
Congressional Democrats are planning to hold hearings about President Trump’s criticisms of establishment news outlets, according to a new report. These are hearings that should include only Democrats and a mirror.
Democrats are the enemy of the people of the United States. Democrats and the media warp 90% plus of reporting about Trump to feature only the negative spin. The Democrats invent a false narrative, and then report what they can twist to support that narrative, whether it be downplaying the Korean summit or ignoring the selling of baby parts criminal enterprise.
Democrats and the media grossly underreport the amazing accomplishments of the Trump administration in the economy, trade, foreign relations, health, jobs, national security, elimination of useless regulation and more...
Democrats are clearly afraid to look into the real causes of climate change; instead they fall back to character assassination and name calling. Democrats support infanticide of American citizens. Illegal aliens are more important than American citizens. Anti semitism is becoming the norm among Democrats. Keep it up, boys and girls. The voters are watching and listening.
Yes, wasting tax payer money. It’s what democrats do.
So fake governing to match up with fake news. What are they going to do about it? Whine and carry on like petulant children. “Please tell me Jim ...I mean Mr Acosta how Orange Bad Man hurt your feelings”
just call him Beta.....he is such a girly guy.
I think the reality moment coming is when they open up the news media hearings, and look for mass public appeal (viewing)....someone comes up and just says it bluntly....no one is watching and no one seems to care. In a matter of three days, the hearings will be wrapped up, and finished.
Dozens of comments will be saved for the 2020 election cycle, and become some embarrassment that time was devoted to the news media, and NOT real problems.
Time for some Serious Popcorn! This should be interesting to watch and the American People to Laugh at!
