How many journalists are named Donald Trump?

Well, I guess they did not bother talking to Bob Woodward regarding his experiences with the Obama administration (but we know that the talking classes always give the Dems a pass on everything).

Trump is the pied piper of the press - he will lead them to truthful (and useful) news reporting, or he will lead them to drown in the ocean of their own hubris.

I keep looking for the laws that Trump has caused to come in to being which are directed at the press.
So far, no laws.
Could it be that the press just simply not very bright, but very verbose?
Could it be that suspicions that when one is not really prepared for college, but wants a degree, one majors in journalism?

Did Trump prevent the press from publishing anything?
No.
He just calls them out on their fabrications.
Why is that bad?
The Media are so used to meek presidents who never dared to return fire.

Isn’t the fact the just about everyone can call the country’s leader every name in the book - racist, Hitler, idiot, whatever - and still NOT be rounded up by the police and thrown in jail, proof that America is NOT an oppressive country?

No newspaper reporters or editors in America are being thrown in jail for their anti-President screeds, even the fake ones.

Contrast that with countries like Russia, China, Iran, Zimbabwe, etc. where real hazards exist, including death.

THAT’S the difference between the US and a lot of the rest of the world.

“Since declaring his presidential candidacy in 2015, Trump has posted about 1,000 tweets critical of the press,” they wrote.

And the press have posted 1,100,000 full length articles and features critical of Trump, minus maybe 100,000 that are neutral or positive.

The President has Freedom of Speech, too.

Uh...that’s not “oppression”.
That’s freedom of the press: you use yours, he uses his.

Oppression is when he breaks your press, or jails/kills you for using it.

IS TRUMP THE WORLD’S WORST PRESS OPPRESSOR?

No but the US MSM in particular is a threat to our Freedom, Liberty and nation.

“This group considers itself a defender of free speech for the journalists and reporters worldwide, and advocates against countries that abuse those who truthfully report the news.”

To “this group”:
Show me one example of him criticizing (oppressing) a news reporter/organization who TRUTHFULLY reports the news, and we’ll talk.

This is another nonprofit run by leftists.

I note that the “journalist” who wrote this article wrote the article and Trump didn’t stop that or anything else from being written by anyone, ever.

The amusing thing about this group is that they spend a lot of money on things like expensive offices in New York. They also have millions in US equities. Given the stock market since Trump was elected Trump has made them a pile of money.

I’ve been studying nonprofit 990’s for over 15 years. This group is another one that spends a lot on expenses. They are now a political entity and should lose their nonprofit status. They did do something unusual and buried their IRS filings on their web site. That’s good.

While previous U.S. presidents have each criticized the press to some degree, they have also made public commitments to uphold its essential role in democracy...

Stop right there! This from the very same press that accepted payments from a smear group, Fusion GPS, that is a toxic combination of DNC cash and corrupt FBI agents? That press is protecting democracy? No, that press is a perversion, a propaganda wing of a corrupt cabal that has no problem misusing government resources to spy on its political opponents. Far from protecting the weak from the strong, the so-called free press in this country is an enabler of fascism in the dictionary-definition sense of the word.

I guess he could get better at oppressing the press, since they are criticizing him for being the worst at it.

It what way has he “oppressed” the media? Yes, he bad-mouths them, but what official actions has he taken to harass or silence them?

TRUMP WINS THE TOP “PRESS OPPRESSOR” DESIGNATION

Considering the state of the U.S. "news" media, that is a badge of honor, IMHO...

The Committee to Protect Journalists is another special collection of snowflakes suffering from TDS.

A special good night to Special SnowFlakes across America/the world. Sleep well! President Trump will be there, watching over you for the next 7+ years each miserable night in your miserable life!

Liberal Snowflakes main medical needs since Trump became president!
