President: Fake news media (NYT, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN) is the enemy of the American People

[nikcers]

To be fair, criticism of corrupt, dishonest, MIC interests pimping corporate media doesn't equate to a call for "government controlled media".
I'm sure you'll agree with that

Yeah but Trump seemed to stop fighting with Fox news when he became president. I remember when Fox news was demonized and rightfully so. This non aggression towards Fox is a defacto endorsement, and you know what Fox likes to teach people. Fox isn't pushing a liberty agenda, they are pushing a neocon agenda.

I can't forget how the fake news treated Ron Paul.

If they treated Trump the same way they treated Ron Paul, we'd have Rand Paul as president now.

Incredible, President is now quoting one of Libertarian movement's heroes , Thomas Jefferson.


Quoting Thomas Jefferson, President Trump said:

“Nothing can be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”

Neocons may have picked another wrong fight here by banning use of term "fake news".

... were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter -- Thomas Jefferson

Trump is correct. Anyone who has been in the liberty fight long enough, especially here at RPF, know's the bullsh!t that all the media delivers. There are also countless wikileaks that confirm these tactics. The press has become a propaganda machine, manipulating the people. While I dont care for trump, I see this as a convenient aspect of his administration, forcing the exposure of this fact.

It's strategery on both ends based on mutual interests. Fox neocons do have a right leaning bent at times, so it's not too incovenient for them.

Plus they have not hit Trump and have been ironically somewhat "fair and balanced" in the Hillary-Trump fight.
If they will hit him, he will hit back looking at Trump's track record.

Trump always has to be attacking somebody. Notice he does it all of the time. The media is just his latest and most convenient target. He was always attacking somebody during the entire campaign and continues to this day- opponents, judges, media. It is how he operates. Sign of somebody uncertain they are good enough and insecure about themselves. Afraid somebody will figure out they are a fraud.

So do you. This is your entire M.O. on this forum.

As bad as it is, Trump's tweet/verbal attacks on media/neocons/SWCbags etc probably are far less immoral than some DGPbag always attacking defenseless children/innocent civillians with bombs and drones. Won't you agree?

Like Putin in Syria?

Here's Thomas Jefferson 14 June 1807 . . .

To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer,
"by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only." Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers.

Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.

. . . the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing
is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors.

CNN is now leading the MSM charge in pushing back against Trump's latest tweet.
Although question arises, how could they possibly know for sure that his claim is baseless:

The same way that Trump "knows" it's true.

Are you implying President of the US and editors of NYT/WaPo have same level of access/information regarding US secret agencies operations?
