    How does criticism abridge the freedom of the press?

    Can one of you stop crying long enough to attempt an answer? TIA

    Probably because the President's criticism holds the weight of the administrative branch of the federal government; it's not like you complaining about how fucked up the MSM; it's the president. He can do shit; you can't.

    Reality is, I don't think Trump is a dictator or able to go down that path. His issue is he can't stand criticism, he's the type of leader who has to be surrounded by yes men. So he's changed the press room by adding none traditional media sources and if it were up to him, only friendly journalists would be in the room.

    But it can also abridge the freedom of the press in a perception way. The history of dictatorships is getting the public distrust in the media. Like I said, I don't think Trump can accomplish that in our setting or even wants to. But that is how it could get accomplished.

    So you're not saying he's a dictator, just pushing a narrative that he could be someday? Sounds an awful lot like fear mongering. Trump doesn't need to get people to distrust the media. They already do. He's just pointing out the obvious. Thanks Trumpbag.

    So you've got nothing. Just lies and fear tactics. That's what I thought.

    So that was a pretty shitty attempt to answer. Sounds like you girls are living in fear. As usual

    The President doesn't leave his First Amendment rights at the door of the Oval Office. If you are seriously trying to argue that he could intimidate the press in any way you need to light yourself on fire.

    He can say whatever the fuck he wants about the media. We? are all thinking worse about them.

    Silly

    Move on
