He is simply swapping an old media for a new one.

The little squirt is utterly insane.

I guess I'd go crazy too, if I was 18 inches tall.

#6 Establish alternate controlled media.
#7 Bypass the media and speak directly to the public.

WTH?!?! Is he serious???? What a pathetic little tyrant-wannabe. The NERVE of the peasants, looking for information other than what the elites deem necessary!

**Spit** on Reich and his commie cohorts.

Is that a Tweet by Robert Reishhhhh? I thought Tweets are supposed to be short. Like he is. Short. Very short. He’s a germ-like man - a homunculus.

And he called what Holt, Blitzer, et al., did “reporting”! HA!!!

Hey, Robert Reishhhhh. Don’t forget to take the telephone book to sit on for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.

Ludicrous. Lunacy. The press has kept us from freedom for as long as I can remember. F them.

SEVEN THINGS A CORRUPT MEDIA DOES:

1. Berate the person they oppose.
2. Blacklist the person they oppose.
3. Turn the public against the person they oppose.
4. Tolerate and broadcast threats toward the person they oppose.
5. Block access to the person they oppose.
6. Control the narrative so as to defame those they oppose.
7. Bypass context with - selective editing and selective content.

Another weighty proclamation from about 4 feet 6 inches above ground level.

He’s such a tool and the sad part is, he thinks he’s smart.

That was a LOW blow. Should have put him up on a soap box or milk crate or something.

“What he really means is that Trump is threatening to overturn the Left’s control of the media, and thus the social narrative.”

Exactly. They have worked for decades putting into place their control over the information the public sees (from the media, the entertainment industry, schools and universities, and have even injected their brand of politics and propaganda into sports). All of that is now at risk, and this election has made them desperate.

He always reminded me of one of the government characters in Atlas Shrugged.

The Keebler Elf performs an important public service compared to this little creep.

Reich just let loose a meme. He just wants to see if it floats to the top of the bowl.
