President Donald Trumps campaign team is distributing a memo requesting members of the media to stay away from pundits who promote claims that the president colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.
Moving forward, we ask that you employ basic journalistic standards when booking such guests to appear anywhere in your universe of productions, the memo to TV producers notes. The memo, which was reported by Axios Jonathan Swan, cites former CIA Director John Brennan and Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff as two such people who should be handled with care.
At a minimum, if these guests do reappear, you should replay the prior statements and challenge them to provide the evidence which prompted them to make the wild claims in the first place, the memo notes. It effectively lectures cable news channels like CNN and MSNBC about how to do journalism.

Nope...Me either...
Plus, a bunch of Republicans were in on it.
IMHO, the White House intends to deal with the liars and frauds, by law suits or maybe fines(?).
Or the Acosta press pass revocation was a dry run. They pull the credentials of the proven propagandists and they have the Mueller report, their conduct, this memo, etc., to justify.
Itd a good idea if we viewers also take up the rallying cry.
If and when these Pied Pipers of Collusion surface on the small screen.......we should strongly indicate our dissatisfaction.
No more free ride for these characters
If these are the cream of the crop journalists, the media is full of B.S. Anyone who believes their garbage, must be lost in the woods with Comey and Hillary.
“the White House intends to deal with the liars and frauds, by law suits”
I wonder if We The People could file Class Action suits against the MSM. Deliberate fraud or something like that.
“MHO, the White House intends to deal with the liars and frauds, by law suits or maybe fines(?).”
I agree, these people know the truth to keep lying is libel,
and even a public figure like the President can sue if its intentional libel.
*ROFLMAO* also.
Thanks for a soul clearing belly laugh.
The headline is SOOOO misleading!
Trump didn’t TELL the media not to do anything. He ASKED them not to.
The headline suggests Trump is acting like a Dictator!
The letter is backed implicitly by a threat of suing them out of business for libel.
They have class and leave it implicit, but it’s there, just read between the lines.
President Trump know that his enemies in the media are two dimensional thinkers. They’ll read the memo and do the opposite in childish defiance, thusly creating chaos among his targets, who continue to open their mouths and dig deeper holes.
Exhibit #1 in future libel and slander cases against said media outlets.
Verdict for the plaintiff. Treble damages.
The White House is setting up a defamation suit. Theyre focusing on these representatives because their positions indicate that they KNOWINGLY made false statements.
If a network, which is now on notice from the Mueller report, fails to correct these false statements from their guests and continues to allow them to make their false claims, theres a strong argument that the networks are committing some serious defamation as well.
The Special Counsel's investigation determined that there were two main Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. The first involved attempts by a Russian organization, the Internet Research Agency (IRA), to conduct disinformation and social media operations in the United States designed to sow social discord, eventually with the aim of interfering with the election.
And Special Counsel Robert S. Muellers investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
That said, if the media and/or congress continue to push a proven false narrative, they will be knowingly sowing social discord that may be interfering with the election and knowingly colluding with Russia.
Art of the Deal.
Always give you opponent a way out.
Before crushing them of course.
as far as I know can’t be charged with libel or slandering politicians.
Am I right people?
Maybe that’s exactly what Trump & Comp. want:-)
Good comeback.
The leftists will claim this effort is suppression of free speech, an attack on their first amendment rights, etc.
Will need a good comeback and yours is one.
The media will dissolve over time. Who in their right mind is going to believe anything they say? Their depression will
also poison their minds. They have no guilt just self-righteous egotistical-stupid mentalities. Who in the world are these people?
