Donald is not against CNN or MSM. He is against us & our access to a free press & access 2 the TRUTH

[Madam45for2923]

I read an opinion piece in the Wash Post a day or so ago that said that we keep acting like Donald is against CNN or the media and that that is the wrong way to look at it.

He is against us and our right to have: access to the media, a free press and to the truth.

1. He's sowing general distrust of any sources

And, sad to say, it's working. Although Rachel Maddow catching that bogus document last night surely has to have someone in the Trump administration shitting a brick if it can be traced back to the White House. In fact, the bogus document should be presumed to have come from the White House until it can be proven otherwise.

2. True. *45 embraces the idea of mass media so long as they only report WH approved propaganda.

3. I agree with both of you...he's against access to the truth, which will soon be exposed by the press

he trashes hour by hour. He knows he is caught, that there is proof, and that his only chance to survive is for his followers to not believe the truth, and to then respond violently.

4. Yes, all autocrats attack the media. Dictators control the media

Chavez, Putin - both won democratic elections, then attacked and controlled the media to push them into dictatorship.

That's what DJT is trying to do. We must stop him.

5. Yes and by attacking the "media" they hurt us and the people/citizens in their countries
