Because the Obama Admin unsuccessfully messed with Fox once back in 2009?

Victim blaming at its finest.

Spying, seizing phone records and emails from reporter - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Not to mention federally prosecuting more patriotic "leakers" in 8 years than all administrations combined)

A few goobers excluded from spicer's gaggle. - "WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE"

There will be plenty of opportunites for cnn to be gagged. Relax.

Also, you calling a handful of multi-billion dollar media conglomerates victims is a clear sign you need to lay off the bong for a bit.

They are the elite and privileged part of the media that wants their special treatment to continue from an administration that they're not being honest about.

At least some of the other righties here have the courage to denounce this move, even if they spent a while deflecting to Obama first. (It wasn't right when Obama did it either). You however seem to mindlessly approve of everything this administration does, whether or not it's contrary to American values.

Ergo, predictable.

and this is why lots of people do not trust you or what you represent

you do not love America.

professional troll.
I've been calling out CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post and other media outlets for decades about their bias and partisanship. It's not only my opinion, but others, that they have allowed themselves to become seriously unbalanced and left tilting in the last decades and promote Democrats over Republicans. Why you and others in here seem surprised by the backlash is surprising to me.

More diversion, huh? Matters of national security are a whole different realm than declaring the Media to be the enemy of the people & treating them like they are.

The media conglomerates won't be the victims. The American people just might be, however. If Trump has his way, only the toadies will be asking any questions.

Guess I should report my cable company to the Canadian tv police for providing me with their signal then. In other words, that is not a statement that contains any truth.
You should.

Knowingly broadcasting false information is illegal in Canada.

That doesn't mean Canadian media has no bias. It's possible to present facts with a slant. I could report on the homeless population and describe it as a scourge, or I could describe them as victims who need help. America goes full retard and just has fake news. Cloverfield monster attacks New York! Trump is a kid toucher! Hillary Clinton hit a black family with her car in an unprovoked hate crime!

Calling CNN and the NYT fake news is fucking asinine. Especially the NYT. They may screw up sometimes but they are not fake news. The NYT's biggest fuck up was promoting the Iraq war, a right-wingers fantasy, via Judith Miller if I remember correctly. Not spouting some leftist stuff. Go fucking figure right?

People like Taj and Poker Guy are starting to disgust me. But Houston, we have a fucking problem. There are TENS OF MILLIONS out there that think the same fricking way! That's scary shit. Tens of millions of mindless ignorant fucking drones with zero comprehension of reality because they just label reality as fake because they disagree with it. That's frightening, and probably a psychological disorder.

This country is starting to become so polarized, with righties especially becoming more delusional as time passes, that I think secession by certain states will be warranted in the not too distant future. I'm starting to not think twice about living in a separate country from the red states. Tell me I could snap my fingers thrice and the blue states would be an independent country from the red states and I am starting to think of it as an option.

Violent protest, which I have condemned, will soon become justifiable at the rate Trump is going. Not only justifiable but a civic duty.

Seriously unbalanced about what? Obvious lies from the Trump Admin?

If anything, they've indulged right wing propagandists by sensationalizing every faux scandal from Birtherism thru Benghazi & Hillary's emails.

The conservative media organizations Breitbart News, The Washington Times and One America News Network were allowed in.

I think you're forgetting the reason for their coverage of Trump. They're not doing it because they like him, support him or want to cover him. They despise him, but they realize coverage of him drives ratings. Pure and simple, they have no choice in the matter.
Are you fucking retarded? Serious question...

Please, the MSM did everything it could this election to hurt Hillary Clinton. Or did you forget emails and CGI day in and day out. This media is liberal meme is tired. There is actually a faux news outlet that is slanted and biased out there (well entertainment company), it is called Fox News. If you compare anything to that I'm sure you would think everybody is is biased.

NYT is quality journalism, but they've been veering off that track for a while now. I still pay my monthly dues and enjoy reading it but this past election was anything but fair journalism. Their election coverage turned into just being a propaganda arm for Hillary. Tried to cancel so they countered with several months at a really reduced rate so I stayed on board (their non-election coverage is top notch).

CNN is a joke, more so than the other major news outlets. They didn't attempt to even pretend to be fair, I'd put them into the same category as Breitbart or Huffpo. Would anyone argue that Breitbart has an undeniable right to attend the briefings?

Trump and Obama both can go to hell for attacking the press and the institution of journalism though.

And life REALLY should not be like that.
You should be able to check one big news outlet and get reliable information. Thats all. No bullshit.

That you believe this is your problem. You should read multiple stories and make a decision yourself. And this is the reason that conservatives are easily manipulated and why right wing radio exists. They like to let others think for them.

Let me ask you, did we ever get an answer to how Trump was going to handle the inherent conflict of interest with his For-Profit business? Yet Hilary was raked over the coals for her husbands Not for profit (a well respected one at that).

So CNN is a joke, so which news outlet is not? This answer should be interesting.

None of the babble above has anything to do with your statement that the Fox News Chanel is illegal in Canada. It is not illegal and never has been.

Holy shit you are a fucking idiot.

That isn't hyperbole.

He & friends aren't idiots, they're the fuhrer's loyalists willing to do/say whatever for the cause.

I think it's become rather obvious the reich wasn't really exceptional.

Keep in mind there's no line Trump/Bannon can ever cross that these shits won't defend. They'll be here to explain why the browns deserved it.

I think it's time to find out how much ownership interest Trump has in Breitbart.
