a) I don’t believe this happened. Not as reported.

b) Using the prestige of high elected office to call a meeting of journalists for the purpose of intimidation would be extraordinary and unprecedented in this nation.
Maybe in Venezuela, or Chile it would be okay, but not here.

c) I am not nor have I ever been a “nevertrumper”

Have you ever been in Big company board room? Looks like Trump gave them Board room slashing.

Lurkin, I think a well founded broadside against lying was well taken and quintessentially Trump. This isn’t about what ought to be seen as seriously controversial. They’ve ginned up controversy where no reasonable person would see it.

They are not Journalists.

They have outed themselves via their coverage as Propagandists. It is this sort of quivering in panic stricken obliqueness for these media clowns that destroyed GW Bush’s Presidency.

They are the enemy of everything you supposedly believe. Quivering in fear, and obsequious butt kissing of their vastly over inflated egos, will NOT change their rabid hate for you. It will not change one word of their rabidly biased coverage.

One of the reasons Trump won is he had NO FEAR in taking them head on and beating them.

You apparently want the sort of one party Fascist state where the Party press’s actions are never called to account. Sorry maybe you should emigrate to North Korea, China or Venezuela where the media and state are one entity.

IF you cannot take the pressure of fighting back, log off and go hide in your basement for the next 8 years.

Hi.

I can appreciate your item “b” above.

Sometimes you have to push back a little.

And then there are other times you pull their licenses.

You need to read up on American history. Lincoln had some reporters jailed for opposing him.

We all witnessed this election and for some time on how big of bullies our media is in trying to get their way. They have also abused their power way beyond corruption in pushing their agenda with lies and corruption.

Trump is doing it the right way to take on bullies and that is head on. The media is so corrupt, this NEEDS to be done. Go Trump!

Ben, you make your mistake by calling them journalists.
