I understand your attempt, but it misses the mark IMO. We, the American people, need the truth from the press in order to hold any administration accountable. What we are getting from the press today falls far short. No one wants the press silenced, but simply ask for fair reporting. Not a huge fan of polling, but if the following is remotely true it confirms my thoughts. http://www.gallup.com/poll/185927/americans-trust-media-remains-historical-low.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes the media is and has been hyperbolic, but not as this level IMO. I'm quite sure numbers will eventually bear that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japantiger 4,031 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 A free and independent press is why it was given Constitutional protection....that is not what we are being given. The press is the defacto mouthpiece of the Democrat party.... under those circumatances, I see no reason to continue the charade....no different than free speech...it has limits...if the press is effectively yelling fire in a theatre, they should have their right curtailed, just like you or i would...they do not serve me today in any appreciable way...they actually make it harder for the American people to tell what is really going on. They are a actally hurting us, not helping us . Just today the AP publishes a "whooper" and every idiot news source dutifully follows along....this nonsense needs to stop....fortunately the American people are able to get info directly now and the papers and other shills are losing audience. That is the best revenge. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
