Trump: ‘We Don’t Have Freedom of the Press in This Country — We Have Suppression by the Press’
Breitbart ^ | 29 Nov 2020 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 11/29/2020 8:04:44 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

During an interview that aired on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” President Donald Trump attacked the media for its unwillingness to cover stories that could cast Joe Biden’s candidacy and his presidential chances in a negative way.

Trump called it “suppression by the press” during a phone-in interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.

“[T]he media doesn’t want to talk about it. They know how fraudulent this is. It’s no different than Hunter. It’s no different than Hunter. They don’t want to talk about Hunter, so they totally closed it off, big tech and the media, other than The New York Post, as you remember, which took a lot of heat. It was terminated. It was terminated from, I guess, Twitter, maybe Facebook.

But it’s a situation, the likes of which — we don’t have freedom of the press in this country. We have suppression by the press. They suppress. You can’t have a scandal if nobody reports about it. This is the greatest fraud in the history of our country, from an electoral standpoint. And I guess you could build it up bigger than an electoral stand — what’s bigger from an electoral standpoint? What is bigger than this? This is the essence of our country. This is the whole ball game. And they cheated.”

He might have added, “...and you helped them.”

Although the chattering class think of themselves as the ministry of truth with some special Constitutional role...they are wrong and simply full of themselves. there is no privileged group called "the press" in the first Amendment anymore than there is a privileged group called "speech". Rather each citizen has an unabridged right of "speech" and "the press".

We do have a free press. The press is free to be dishonest and biased. Ignore them.

I was somewhere where network TV was on. Saw a bit of CBS 60 Minutes.

I haven’t watch it for many years. What incredible propaganda that show has turned in to! A multi-series interview with Obama where they ask him softball questions to which he can than spew out his cliches, and an interview with some guy who says “US Elections are totally clean!”

It was unbelievable how slanted the show was.

Yes. The drinking bleach hoax. The losers and suckers military hoax. The Charlottesville fine people hoax.

All hoaxes that hurt Trump tremendously.

And no reporting on the Hunter Biden story. I stopped my WSJ subscription because of that.

There really should be documentaries how the press was once free and patriotic, and how it became propagandistic and cynical. It is affecting the country, and you can ignore it if you like, but it is malevolent.

We cannot have a free country with the media spewing propaganda.

Yes, this is true.

The realization of how much freedom we have willing handed over, in the last few years and this year most especially.

I’ve been sleep walking, I didn’t realize we were this far gone.

He's right.

Bill Whittle talks about the effect that this conspiracy and collaboration between Big Tech and the Media had on this election at his website (This link brings you right to the point of specific discussion): The Stolen Election, Pt. 2: Hiding Biden Laptop Scandal Reveals More Frightening Social Plan

In summary, there was a poll of voters who said they ACTUALLY voted for Biden and of those voters, 36% said they heard NOTHING about the Hunter Biden scandal.

Of that 36%, 13% of THOSE voters said they would not have cast a vote for Biden had they known.

That means, of all Biden voters, 4.6% of those voters would NOT have voted for Biden. They didn't say they would have voted for Trump, it means they would have not, by their own admission, voted for Biden HAD THEY KNOWN ABOUT THE HUNTER BIDEN SCANDAL.

So, here is what the Electoral College tally stands at right now if nothing is overturned and showing 306 for Biden and 232 for Trump:

Now, if we go through the battleground states, and subtract 4.6% of Biden votes (these are not being given to Trump, only subtracted from the Biden totals in Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizon, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, those states ALL go to Trump EVEN WITHOUT ANY VOTE TAMPERING, and the Election Map looks like this below, with Trump at 311 electoral votes, and Biden with 227.

THAT is the effect this Media and Big Tech censorship and Leftist advocacy had on this election, which means that without the Media and Big Tech censorhip Trump would have won in a landslide EVEN WITH all the election fraud that obviously took place.

The Treason Media is committing Insurrection By Gaslighting.

When they are decorating dungeon walls, they should be told:

“Oh, actually, you’re playing in a field of daisies right now.”

Ideally with Britney Spears’ “Oops I Did It Again” playing over and over to exacerbate the torture.

Some real news for the Treason Media: there are four lights, and Trump won.

When are the American people going to face the fact that....

What we’ve had for decades now, is advocacy media.

There are no ‘reporters’. What we have is biased media people, who pretend or pass themselves off as ‘reporters’.

What ‘journalism’ schools turn out are biased reporters, meaning that, they’re not ‘reporters’ at all.

The people who go to ‘journalism’ schools go there to support one side or the other, but mostly the liberal/socialist/democrat side. But, journalism schools are not where most ‘reporters’ come from, since just about anybody that can write or use their lips and can pick a side, is nowadays classified as a ‘reporter’.

Journalism, or the art of reporting, has been dead for many decades now.

We don’t have a free and fair press or free and fair elections.

The Republic is officially dead.

The press is no longer here to give us access to information. The Press now is just a street agitator. Rabble rouser.

Let’s send Trump a message through twitter that “We Love You”. Let’s send a million we love you messages. That is the most inspiring message we can send to him. He needs to hear from us.
