And that is what I think has happened in the media industrial complex. They have come to believe their own propaganda.
I have similar concerns. I’m not sure how well the no-fly zone around Trump Tower would protect Trump from a terrorist who controls a plane. With trillions at stake, some people out there would buy the plane. With Obama as CIC, there could easily be holes in the system or delays in issuing orders. I would rather he live elsewhere during this perilous time.
I think this only part of the story.
Sure, I can see Trump calling the media elite together and chewing them out for their lies and bias coverage.
I can also see Trump saying, “look if you want access to members of my administration, this nonsense has to stop and you have to be fair and report the truth. So what will it be, people? The choice is yours.”
Remember, Trump is a deal maker. This salvo was his opening position on the deal to get the media to report on him fairly.
Your post about RC Cola and Moon Pies cracked me up. And I knew you must live in ‘Bama’. LOL!
So ya think Trump is out of line for reading the lying collusive corrupt media the riot act? Really?
I can't believe someone on this site made this statement. Ya sound like Hillary Clinton.
I respect Trump for directly confronting them.
The People LOVE Trump.
A 70 year old man beats up on media liars!
Facebook, Amazon, Google are sniveling evil liars.
Classic. Love it. That is WINNING!
the left (establishment) KNOWS they are a super minority. Not even close to being anything more than a squeaky wheel.
This telegraphs Trump is not there to waste time by playing coy with the establishment access media.
I agree — and this is a thousand times more effective than silly Twitter messages about a Broadway show or Saturday Night Live.
Great ideas for the trump administration. Spot on.
Standing on soap boxes is about the only way conservatives have of reaching people. Liberals reach millions on an hourly basis, but you don't feel anything should be done to rectify this unfair and untenable situation we are facing?
I'm all for protecting constitutional principles, but in this case we have two principles in conflict with each other, and in such a case, the more important principle needs to Trump the other.
The most important principle is that both sides get equal access to the audience of millions rather than one side having complete control and veto power over this.
Television is not a printing press. Television is not a soap box. Television reaches and influences millions, and it is fact a source of power. Television is far beyond anything of which the founders could have envisioned in terms of it's persuasive power. It is just short of a brainwash machine for the stupid half of the nation.
The principle that all sides have equal access to the public is the higher principle involved here, and we need to find a way to insure that principle is operative in this country.
How can it get any better???
You completely evaded the question. See the tagline.
OH MY GOSH!!!! BEST REPLY OF THE DAY!!! ROFLAMO...
The only olive branch I would offer is, “You want access? Send an intern with honest questions. That’s all. WE’LL set up the studio and send YOU the edited material!”
Bingo!
