This is about Bezos using the Washington Post to attack Trump.
Trump also fired a warning shot about ‘hedge fund guys’ — who happen to be giving money to run the attack ads against Trump.
If you don’t want someone who will go after and destroy Democrats, you don’t want Trump.
Such a erudite speaker - and thinker -
What Pride America will be able to take with him at the helm - (need I put in a 'sarq?)
He speaks like a bottom of the class 4th grader - and no one says a word.
We seem to have a misunderstanding of the First Amendment here...
Trump is a new Richard Nixon to me and sad to say, Nixon and his enemies in media were in conflict.
Nixon used the FCC ‘Fairness Doctrine’ as one of his weapons against mainstream liberal media and conservative radio preacher Carl McIntire.
I hope Trump isn’t going down that road.
Live and Let Live, Donald. Its a good slogan that sane and sober people live by.
‘If I become president, oh do they have problems.’ It is about time someone in leadership takes on Jeff Bezzos, the punk from Seattle who spends millions on breaking the traditional marriage.
Trump will hopefully learn how to become a strong leader like Pope John Paul II and promote the Culture of Life.
the muslims are gonna love this! They will be filing libel suits with increasing numbers if trump gets his way
BTW, I haven't heard a SINGLE person ask Trump if he plans to use his authority as President of the United States to push laws that will PERSONALLY benefit his companies so he can get even richer. Have you?
If these new libel laws were to take effect, Free Republic would be sued out of existence on day one.
If these laws took effect the only media we would have would be rich corporate liberal media.
New York Times, Washington Post etc...
This could be called the mainstream media only law.
ABOUT TIME the media gets held ACCOUNTABLE.
They have OPENLY STATED that they are worth 10 points to any Democrat that they support. I cannot imagine how ANYONE on our side can defend them.
What Trump is talking about here is the higher burden placed on defamation suits when related to “public” officials and figures.
Clearly room for improvement in that arena.
You said...
“Trump wants to make it dangerous to criticize him. I’m not looking for a dictator.”
Sadly, too many here are.
A while back around 2011, I caught a religious show on the radio while going Ruffed Grouse hunting and they were talking about our debt, our economic situation, declining standard of living and what Christians should do. I remember the guest predicting that if those trends continued, someone would come on the scene who was charismatic and was good at using the media. He also warned that people would follow that person unquestionably and may freely give up freedoms to that individual for the promise of making things “better.”
He may have foreseen Trump. I know it’s good to see the NYT and Washington Post get stuck for their abusively bias reporting,but you have to look beyond the glee and think of what Trump wants to and it’s ramifications for future reporting. Remember, Trump considers everything he reads or hears about him that he doesn’t like a lie
