Enemy of the People

[IPleadInsanity]

Yeah, but the media starts in on everybody from the get-go. It's not like Fox News was saying Obama was a swell guy in 2008. No, they were running stories about birth certificates, about how he was an inexperienced community organizer, got into Harvard with a lack of credentials, why won't he release his grades?, etc. Obama was under attack from Fox News every day of his presidency.

I don't say Fox is any different but that is a perfect example. Those Fox stories you listed could not get legs because the rest of the media SUppressed those stories, acted like they did not exist, and they eventually disappeared. I am sure Fox SUppressed some stories as well. None of them should be called "press" and garner the right given under the 1st amendment.

Couldn't get legs because there were zero facts supporting them.

Fair point. But I prefer the "But TRUMP!" argument,

Ocasio-Cortez bans press from covering campaign event

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic socialist star running for New York's 14th congressional district, is facing criticism after her campaign banned journalists from covering a town hall meeting with voters this week.

The Queens Chronicle, a local news outlet, reported that the campaign for the 28-year-old progressive prevented reporters from attending a campaign event in Corona on Sunday, even though it was open to the rest of the public. The campaign reportedly barred reporters from a prior event as well.

“We wanted to help create a space where community members felt comfortable and open to express themselves without the distraction of cameras and press. These were the first set of events where the press has been excluded,” campaign spokesman Corbin Trent said. “This is an outlier and will not be the norm. We’re still adjusting our logistics to fit Alexandria’s national profile.”

Well the poor thing is afraid she might be asked an actual relevant question and the news media will report it and make her look stupid.

Not a deflection at all, just an observation and a completely accurate observation. Did she call the press the enemy of the people? No. Did she only ban conservative outlets? No.
Maybe you can comprehend the difference between the President of the US condemning media that he doesn't like vs. some person that nobody have even ever heard of a month ago banning all media.

By the way, when's the last time Trump held a town hall and let average Americans ask questions. Or his last press conference?

Oh I remember, and Trump's deeds are far worse than some woman's that people barely know. Furthermore, it is not their policy going forward.

And you know exactly why Trump doesn't hold Town Halls or regular Press Conferences. More importantly, his Advisers know. They know not to schedule any because they know he has no command of this issues, is unable to articulate a coherent thought, and will look like an idiot. I know it, you know it, we all know it.

Prey tell what deeds has Trump done so far that is so horrible ? I hear a the ya ya everyday but I don’t see what he’s done so far besides talk that has oppressed any group . I’m not one of those “ hate speech” people , to me words are just words so I’m going to need some deeds . Why would he do a town hall meeting ? What would he gain from it ? Why does he need to do one when he gives the press more time then any president I can remember .

LOL So if the press is her friend, why is she banning them? Holy crow dude, you are about to hit China.

Trump doesn't need press conferences. He has Twitter. The press reports every utterance from that. Why waste time telling them stuff again?

Nope, just lies incessantly (over 4,000 now). Try again. We all know why he uses Twitter, no one gets to ask him follow-up questions which he would have no idea how to answer coherently.
