Not childish. A tactical part of a larger strategy. The press has been undermining the country since Cronkite, and possibly since Hearst.
It has to be dealt with. The press in this country isn’t the ‘balancing force’ the founders thought it would be. It’s a fifth column.
Trump is out to hobble it. I’m actually surprised he didn’t ask why OneAmerica network wasn’t hosting a debate. Might as well toss in a competitor to take from Fox what Fox took from NBCCBSABC.
Exactly right. "Accurate journalism" is a fiction, created by the press and the government to trust that which is untrustworthy. The press, as constituted today, is a powerful and effective poison against personal independence and responsibility. it is subversive of the constitution, just as Congress, the courts, and the presidents have been, for 100+ years.
