It's your charge, you do the work, dumbass. The "I'm rubber you're glue" argument works in 2nd grade. Stop being a little bitch child.
You could easily refute it by posting links to the lefties posting the same accusations of tyranny and destruction of the free press, nazism and such. Should be simple
Not exactly true. More than a few previous Presidents complained about the media. But I don't believe that any of them ever went as far as Trump is doing. IMO, he violated his oath of office when he called the media the enemy of the American people. He pledged to uphold the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of the press, whether he likes what they print or not.Yeah, they didn't complain bout being picked on though. Almost like someone's never heard of the Streisand Effect.
Ah yes, it was fine when obummer did it because it was evil fox and he is righteous. Not like that evil Trump trying to destroy the free press! Great stuff guys, great stuff.
I'm curious because I don't see an argument here. Do you support the Whitehouse's apparent ban on these news organizations, or not? Saying "Obama did it too" isn't an answer or an opinion: it's essentially you claiming that two wrongs make a right. Or "he did it so we can too". That's a pretty poor argument for restricting the press.
Editted to add witty insult:
You insipid deplorable quivering snot rag.
You righties are currently supporting Trump for doing similar, but 10x worse, things than OBummer ever did..
He's a child. That's all he's got.
Fake news is when media intentionally publishes something that they know to be wrong. Like Hillary selling our uranium to Russia, for example. That was fake news. A different opinion, or even a political agenda, does not make for fake news.

Have a look at what happened with Sun News Network in Canada. It was viewed as essentially a Fox News analog. It didn't go well for them.
obummer tried to silence the one single outlet that was critical of him. Trump gets crushed by every single lefty news organization. Excluding one or two fake news outlets won't keep the rest of the lefty news outlets out, so they still have plenty of coverage.
Is there any difference between questioning authority, and being directly confrontational / adversarial? One could certainly make the case that they've been the latter, but I'm not so sure that's outside their expected purview. Particularly when one considers free speech. So what, exactly, would they be barred for... doing their jobs?
As such, I must condemn such seemingly cowardly action unless some solid reasoning is provided.
If he feels so strongly about it, then he should take them to court for libel. Otherwise, these antics of his are either publicity stunts or unconstitutional efforts to censor the media.You mean like CNN publishing a story that Nancy Sinatra was angry about Trump using her fathers song, which then caused her to tweet "CNN, why do you lie?". Kind of like that kind of "fake news" outlets? Just face it, CNN and NYT, WAPO, Huffpo etc are fake news. They just publish whatever garbage they can come up with to further an agenda.
That was my point. obummer did the exact same thing earlier, and the other news organizations banded together to not tolerate. I didn't hear any outcry from the lefties about tyranny, destruction of free press and all that drivel then. When Trump does it, oh boy, that's different because.... reasons.
This is good news for Fox, the white house is too blinded by their anger to understand that they are shooting themselves in the foot over and over.
Every time they "slam" Fox, the Fox ratings go up even further. In addition, people get a little nervous when the gobment goes after any news outlet, no matter what their political agenda. When the government is able to silence opposition voices, no matter how idiotic, it's dangerous for us all.
Basically, these little white house tantrums give fox more power.
:roll: Yeah, that's what we want, we want our government to determine who can have "press priviliges" and who can't. I'm sure that would do wonders for democracy. Moron.

Do you understand the difference between carrying a US channel and allowing Fox News to establish a channel in Canada?I really don't care about Sun News Network. Fox News is still very much on the air in Canada
I'll take this as acknowledgement that you are unable to tell the difference. While I enjoy exchanging ideas with those on the right with the intelligence to provide thoughtful discussion, I have a policy of not debating people without the mental ability to so. You are too much like your leader. You think facts are arbitrary ideas that can just be made up at will.Ah yes, it was fine when obummer did it because it was evil fox and he is righteous. Not like that evil Trump trying to destroy the free press! Great stuff guys, great stuff.
Real enough to get Mike Flynn fired.
-1 for style. No witty insult.

You should. The post you quoted was talking about media OPERATING in Canada. Not a foreign signal that is carried in Canada.I really don't care about Sun News Network. Fox News is still very much on the air in Canada
