This was probably inevitable
So to quote Donald "Little Benito" Trump: “I love the First Amendment. Nobody loves it better than me". Guess he just meant for himself and his Propaganda Goons.
Contrary opinions (or especially facts) will NOT be tolerated!
In a month of Very Bad News, this is one of the worst. I don't know if it's just because I'm a newspaperman's kid and a journalism teacher that this feels like a punch in the gut. But it does. Because it is so clearly an "I dare you – whatchoo gonna do now, mainstream media?" moment.
And what will they do? Some of them are stepping up in solidarity. What would Trump and co do if he gave a press conference and nobody except Breitbart and Fox came? What will the rest of the news organizations do? Knuckle under? I think not, but I don't know.
Dan Rather says that "The Reckoning Has Come", from his Facebook post for his news organization newsandguts.com
Dan Rather has no credibility, at all. He is the poster boy for fake news.
So, Putrid Pig…
Well, then, spineless, groveling lickspittle to your Dear Leader…which media do you trust? Name names.
Here you go Pear — is this what you want to believe?
Even Fox stepped up:
Those claiming they were barred included The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, CNN and Politico. Fox News, which was not kept from covering the event, nonetheless joined a complaint by the chair of the five-network television pool. –Fox News
He has just made some very dangerous enemies. If they've been banished, they've got nothing left to lose. This scheme the Administration is cooking up about the Super Dangerous Countries is going to blow up in his face. Look to see lots more details about the demand for cooked intel to justify the travel ban and who was party to it. The news agencies he has frozen out don't need access to the White House to dig to the bottom of this story.
Sorry about the extra box. I couldn't get the damned comment editor back out of italics above
He'll get on that right after he releases his tax returns, like he said he would.
The problem is that ISIS is being audited.
Dan Rather reported the truth: George W Bush, President at the time, had been AWOL from his National Guard duty during 1972 & 1973. Senior military officials covered up W's lapse. This is now generally accepted, now that Bush is no longer President.
The only thing Rather did wrong at the time was to source the story from copied documents which could not be proved to be authentic. Thus the whole story collapsed, Rather and his producer were fired, and the feckless deserter GWB was never held accountable while he played War President in the middle East with millions of lives.
For a long read on all of the backroom politics surrounding the Bushes and politics at the time, check out the Texas Observer's "Truth or Consequences".
Thanks for reminding us that the current occupant of the White House is far from the first to cry "Fake News!" at true stories he doesn't like.
Now, enough of your distractions. I refuse to get in an ad-hominem attack session. Back to the question: Will our current President be obligated to accept the First Amendment to the Constitution, including the words:
…or, won’t he?
Dan Rather has been lying to viewers since Vietnam. Only in the eyes of the kook left does this man have any credibility.
I noticed (well, we all noticed) you didn't actually refute anything MJ55 said with facts. Just your usual slagpile of propaganda.
Facts the kooks rely on.
Well, one reason the "copied documents" could not be proven authentic is that they were in a typeface, Times New Roman, that didn't exist at the times they were purportedly printed. Huge blunder by people trying to slime Bush.
The documents also had proportional spacing. At the time, only an IBM executive used that, but did not have Times New Roman font. As an Army editor at West Point I used such advanced equipment, but normal company clerks did not use expensive typesetting equipment to type personnel documents. Rather was conned in this case. Overall, however, he was a careful journalist.
Why, yes, the kooks rely on facts (objective, provable things), while the Trumpkopfs rely on whatever Trump-approved media tells them.
Facts is for libruls. We have alternative facts in Trumpworld.
Excellent recitation of the facts MJ which surrounded the Bush memo. Unfortunately, no one noted the font was not a "normal" type which would have been on a typewriter.
