>> “Why doesn’t Trump just call to defund NPR? Thereby giving them something to whine about.” <<

Good question!

In ‘95 the House had voted out of committee a bill that would have ended all public propaganda outlets.

Noot yanked it and killed it.

The Media are the propaganda arm of the Deep State for sure.

Thank God our constitution prohibits a Democracy, and guarantees a Republic.

Democracy is the most opressive form of government.

The GOP controlled sub-committee on funding the Corporation For Public Broadcasting (CPB) have recommended LEVEL funding for 2020.

We can blame the donkeys but the GOP is complicit in keeping NPR going.

Actually, a politically active, lying press is extremely dangerous to "the free press," liberty, freedom, and honest government. The so-called "mainstream media," ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, The NY and LA Slimes, WaPo, and the majority of the rest of the newspapers are nothing more than the propaganda wings of the DNC.

So, yes, the lying press IS the enemy of "The People," or at the very least, "A Free People."

Liberals called conservative leaders Hitler for years (including the weak Bushes).
Liberals are calling conservatives fascists while saying it is moral to bash a fash, routinely labeling people as Nazi while calling for violence against Nazis.

Trump called a dictator....


He can’t build a wall or stop openly anti-American terrorist countries from sending immigrants-—because a little judge in a little black robe in Oregon or Hawaii stops him cold! Some dictator.

Months and months later a wimpy Supreme Court might timidly uphold some of the constitution sort of, in a limited way. Some dictator! BS.

Yes. We are not allowed to defend him but they can call him any name because they have free speech and we don’t.

The NRA could be destroyed, people are mobbed in public for supporting or working for Trump.

People lose their jobs if they are caught liking Trump. We could be Papa Johned for expressing our ideas.

They are the enemy and it’s wrong to let them muzzle us by intimidating anyone who calls them out.

They endanger Trump’s life as their demented, mentally ill TV watchers see that and say: CNN and Morning Joe and ABC hate Trump. So do I. I’m going to take action.” God Forbid.

THEY started it with an anti-Trump women’s march and hats and Madonna wanting to blow up the White House and setting cars on fire to overturn the Inauguration.

NOW the media gets sensitive?

Dirty, lying, lowlife scum.
That’s their good side.

Media are menacing for real and will soon use violence worse than Portland and Berkeley.

Mister Rogers Neighborhood is about to blow.

They are Nothing-burgers not even close to the violence in Chicago last summer.

18 Feb 2017: Youtube: 1min16secs: Pat Caddell: The Press is the Enemy of the American People President Trump wasn’t the first person to say that the press was the enemy of the American people. Democratic pollster Pat Caddell called them out at an AIM conference in 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApH4C7QPB_U

That's right !

Well, the RATs are the enemy of the American People and the RATagandists are simply the broadcast wing of the DNC.
