If I took a newspaper I would cancel the subscription. They are gasping for air.

just because we print inconvenient truths ...

Is that what they are calling lies now?

Hint to the Post: It’s not inconvenient truths that earn the monicker “Fake News”. It’s blatant falsehoods.

The media feels that any deception is justified by the campaign against the president, even lying is okay. “Fake news” is the perfect characterization.

Already the rumblings are this is backfiring.

This is just a loud scream in the never-ending tantrum that started Nov 2016.

Real America knows it and is just shaking its head today.

More than 300 news outlets have launched a campaign to counter US President Donald Trump's attacks and promote a free press.

First of all, they are NOT "the press." They are corporate media organizations (CMOs).

The press in the Constitutional sense is a device that can be used by people to publish their thoughts and opinions.

Every American, including those who run or work for CMOs, has a right to freely use a press to disseminate his or her views on any subject at any time.

But the reporters at NPR, NYT, Washington POS, CNN, MSNBC and all the other CMOs (including Fox News) do NOT have any constitutional right to have access and be heard at White House "Press" conferences.

They don't have that right, because neither I nor anybody else who posts opinions in print, by broadcast or online has that right, even though we use the press to publish our opinions, as I do regularly on Free Republic. (After all, the Internet is a means of publishing thoughts and opinions and therefore is a "press" in the Constitutional sense.)

And another "right" that these CMOs definitely DO NOT have, is the right not to be insulted by the President, who did not surrender his own First Amendment right to free speech when took the oath of office.

Being invited to participate in a White House "press" conference is therefore a privilege that can be extended or withdrawn purely at the discretion of the White House (or Congress, or the Judiciary in their own venues).

I so wish that at Trump's next "press conference," he will state this reality once and for all. And then I hope he will take a question from Jim Acosta, after prefacing it with the following statement:

"I'm now going to take a question now from Jim Acosta purely as a courtesy, albeit an undeserved one, because this is going to be his last White House 'press conference' during my administration. Additionally, I am revoking the press credentials of CNN,the racist New York Times, and a number of other Corporate Media Organizations who will soon be notified of their change in status. OK Jim, what's your question?"

Then I hope that in the future the White House will issue "Media Passes" to other respectable press users - bloggers, authors, YouTubers, etc. who will be invited to future Media Conferences, provided that they show courtesy, intelligence and respect.

And as for the CMOs, they can watch the President's Media Conferences on C-SPAN and then write whatever the hell they want to about them.

If any violence comes to them its not because they pretend to be journalists, its because they are scumbag communists.

Yet more #FakeNews proving that the press most certainly is the enemy of the people.

President Trump should tweet:

“Finally! Something to thank the Fake News for!”

“More laughs than the Comedy Channel!”

Starting with the Boston Globe itself, the editorial there, headlined Journalists Are Not The Enemy, argued that a free press had been a core American principle for more than 200 years

These idiots - Do they even realize that they were "FREE" to print this editorial ? All the President has done is criticize the media. He hasn't done one damn thing to STOP them from reporting.

If he declared tomorrow that all newspapers are now property of the Government - then they've got something to bitch about.

How many of these 300 papers published negative stories about Trump containing the words “anonymous Sources”? Or “a source said”

I rest my case. Fake Farking News.

300 papers conspire to promote the lie that they aren’t conspiring against Trump.
