Well, if someone repeats a lie often enough, they begin to believe it.

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.

But for a President elect to call in a score of journalists and then excoriate them for being opposed to him would be petulant and childish

So ya think Trump is out of line for reading the lying collusive corrupt media the riot act? Really?

People say "Give 'em hell, Trump!" but I don't give 'em hell. I just give them the truth and they think it's hell.



h/t to old Harry Truman

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.

I don't know how to make the MSM more fair, but it's not through coercion or force. That is against everything I stand for as Constitutional advocate. I believe anyone can stand on a box, use a media outlet, peacefully assemble and say things I don't agree with.

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.

Who said Trump couldn't handle "His own media"? The media?

You completely evaded the question. See the tagline.
