The real images of the naïve Americans who trust in the Major US Media. The noodles hanged on their ears which mean the Liberals dupe them as the last jerks.

What "job" are you referring to? You are getting paid?

I agree there are certain fellow members who seem to have forgotten how the media treated Ron Paul, because they try to claim the media treated Trump the same way. But instead of ignoring him like they did Ron Paul, they elected him while getting record high ratings.

And now your reading comprehension took a nose dive after you got busted shilling.

Globalist shill media is Public Enemy number one. Id say Trump is wrong on his assessment ,they are the enemy of the entire planet. Time to black them out.

 

[seapilot]

Poor Don. Even guests know the truth.

You don't like Trump. I don't like Trump. Everybody here knows that. But do you honestly disagree with the premise that the MSM is fake and is undermining our republic? Can any Ron Paul supporter deny that after what the media did to him and us in 2008 a 2012?

Lets not forget it was CNN that destroyed and tried to destroy Ron Paul's image with that fake letter. Lets be honest i am loving how his destroying CNN here. CNN and MSM getting the taste of their own medicine.

Talk about the kettle calling pot black. 90% of the sh*t that comes out of his mouth is fake news and then you go to his favorite internet newsite infowhores and 99% of the sh*t is fake news too. My problem is not that the MSM he mentioned are not fake news but the fact that he has no credibility to point fingers when he and the media he likes(infowhores, fox news) are just as fake as the CNNs of this world.

You left out the National Inquirer which is the rag Trump used to smear Ted Cruz.

Yea, but most normal people already consider National Inquirer fake news that sometimes reports real news. I think most MSM and even some alt media like Breitbart and infowhores are fake news agencies that just like the National Inquirer report some real news. And if you the process of calling out fake news, you omit the fake news agencies because they support you, then you are no better than the people you are calling out.

So Breitbart is Fake News for reporting the migrant Crisis which MSM is avoiding to mention at all?

I said that they are fake news agencies that sometimes reported real news, but since you mentioned the migrant crisis. Watch breitbart reporting fake with a capital letter F news.



Watch first 2 minutes.

1:16 Ah yes that i am aware of it. True that hasn't happened yet. Are you telling me your pro migrant?

 

[AngryCanadian]

juleswin are you aware the majority of the European migrants that were saved and came through are all males and young teen boys right?

 

[juleswin]

You know that I like you, I try to be fair with you and rep you when I can but if I get one more negative rep from you with that ridiculous rep messages about points that I did not make, I would stop caring about you being angry and I will take a personal interest in you. I never said I supported uncontrolled migration to Europe or that I want to open my door to 100s of immigrants to come into my house.

Read my post carefully next time and stop putting words into my mouth. All that I am saying is that breitbart also spread fake news(while reporting some real news) like the rest of them and they did some of that fake news regarding the migrant crisis.

We should only have government controlled media like those outstanding Liberty promoting countries like China, Russia, and North Korea. Then they won't say bad things about our Great Leader. It disrupts our unity. Then we will know the Real Truth. No more lies.

(and get rid of judges too- too many checks and balances get in the way of the government doing whatever it wants to)

Trump called the news media an ‘enemy of the American People.’ Here’s a history of the term.


President Trump is not known for his subtlety. But even by this standard, his tweet Friday night was extreme. Trump called the news media “the enemy of the American People.”

The New York Times, which among others was called out specifically, labeled it “a striking escalation” from a leader who “routinely castigates journalists.”

Gabriel Sherman, national affairs editor at New York magazine, described it as “full-on dictator speak.”

They're not being pedantic.

Enemy of the people is a phrase “typically used by leaders to refer to hostile foreign governments or subversive organizations,” the New York Times wrote. “It also echoed the language of autocrats who seek to minimize dissent.”

Where did the expression come from? In its original incarnation, enemy of the people wasn't code for “enemy of my regime.” In one of its earliest uses, the phrase was used to describe a leader himself — Nero. The Roman ruler was a disastrous emperor, and a careless one to boot. As his country fell into ruin, strained by construction costs and a massive devaluation of the imperial currency, Nero vacationed in Greece. He enjoyed musical performances and theater. He took a chariot to some Olympic Games. He considered whether to build a canal across the Isthmus of Corinth.

When he got back home, the political class was angry. And he didn't do himself any favors by ignoring a revolt in Gaul. The Senate grew so infuriated that they declared Nero an enemy of the people and drew up plans for his arrest and execution. Nero took his own life after a failed attempt to flee.

The term fell out of fashion among the political class, though it popped up in literature and art. Most famously, Henrik Ibsen wrote an 1882 play called “An Enemy of the People.” It features a doctor who's almost run out of town because of an article he's written bashing the government. The idea came to Ibsen after his own brush with infamy — his play “Ghosts” challenged the hypocrisy of Victorian morality, and was deemed indecent.

Adolf Hitler was allegedly an Ibsen fan. (Some historians say they believe that he read the plays as prophecy of the Third Reich.) He reportedly read “An Enemy of the People” closely, even weaving some key lines into speeches. His administration deployed this rhetoric to describe Hitler's main enemy: the Jews. “Each Jew is a sworn enemy of the German people,” Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels wrote in 1941. “... If someone wears the Jewish star, he is an enemy of the people. Anyone who deals with him is the same as a Jew and must be treated accordingly. He earns the contempt of the entire people, for he is a craven coward who leaves them in the lurch to stand by the enemy.”

Around the same time, leaders of the Soviet Union were transforming enemy of the people into a major tool for oppression and silencing enemies. Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Bolsheviks, used “the peoples' enemies” as a label to stigmatize anyone who didn't fall into line when the revolution happened. Enemies of the people were ostracized and even their friends were under suspicion.

For foes of Joseph Stalin, being branded an enemy of the people was a death sentence. The Soviet leader deployed that language against politicians and artists he didn't like. Once branded, the accused were sent to labor camps or killed. Best case? An enemy would be denied education and employment. “It is one of the most controversial phrases in Soviet history,” Mitchell Orenstein, professor of Russian and East European studies at the University of Pennsylvania, told Voice of America

“For both Lenin and Stalin, journalists and intellectuals who didn't share their point of view were among the most hated enemies,” University of Washington professor Serhiy Yekelchyk told VOA. “In attacking them, both appealed to the people.”

Chinese dictator Mao Zedong deployed the phrase against people critical of his policies and dictates. The leader, who created a famine that killed 36 million Chinese, was obsessed with identifying and rooting out his enemies. As Zhengyuan Fu explained in “Autocratic Tradition and Chinese Politics”, every member of Chinese society, even children, were called on to root out the landlords, teachers, intellectuals and artists who opposed Mao. He wrote:

Members of society are divided into two major categories: the “people” and the “class enemy.” People describes the in-group, within which are workers, poor and lower-middle-class peasants, soldiers and cadres. The “class enemies of the people” refers to the out group … a highly arbitrarily assigned group whose members are defined by the party state.

While the “people” are described in terms of “warmth, friendliness, candor, courage, and everything that is good,” the class enemies are depicted as “cruel, cunning, morally degrading, always scheming, and evil,” Fu writes. In the enemies camp were who often were imprisoned.

Today, enemy of the people is still deployed. But mostly, you hear it from dictators. (Heads of former Soviet countries are particularly fond of the construction. Old dog, new tricks, etc.) It's never before been uttered by the leader of the free world. One more way in which Trump's presidency truly is unprecedented in U.S. history.

Glad we live in USA where a liberty loving candidate for President can get a fair shake in the pro freedom,limited government, non government controlled media. Not like those censoring, number manipulation, information controlling communist places...
