You dont want to know facts. but the fact is, its guaranteed in the first amendment.
You certainly dont use facts in your posts.

The problem is when all they are interested in reporting are negative facts, but do not balance it with any positive facts.
That's where THAT is the problem. Because Trump declare war on them. They have declared war upon him and they see their job as to bring him down.

Every politician have done both not so popular and good things.

There is nothing professional about the Journalism going on right now. It's all vindictive Journalism.

With Hillary, it was all one sided as well. Only all the good stuffs.

The problem is when the Media take sides and does not report objectively.

They have the power to swing a whole country direction. Then who is truly in control? The people and what is really best for them? Or what is best for the media?

You have CNN Anderson Cooper rolling his eyes on National TV at Kellyann Conway. I mean come on! It's getting crazy, all their professionalism and staying neutral and keeping their personal feelings out of it, basic journalism 101, thrown out of the window.

The best news channel reports news sterilely and neutrally and not sensationalise or create drama. We have tabloids for that!

The article does not say what you think it says. Why comment ?

Come up with an article that DOES say that and maybe I will.

Trump added that, should he win the election, news organizations that have criticized him will "have problems." He specifically cited The New York Times and The Washington Post.

He did it to impress his friends.
It's legal, but it's also extremely fucking stupid.

Nobody can deny that Trump is a threat to National Security.

In case you had any doubts about your new Fuhrer, he seems pretty anxious to go full autocrat and imprison reporters who publish leaks about his incompetence.

Of course, leaks about Hillary are not only okay, but to be encouraged and Russia was right to help everyone make an informed decision when voting. It's just the leaks about Trump that must be punished.

Personally, I think anyone who dares criticize President Joffrey should be shot, and I think the RWNJs on this forum would agree with me.

Why would anyone want to know things when we can just pretend everything is fine and let Trump do whatever he wants?
It's not like he's an incompetent child or anything.

So your news article specifically states what they are saying is unconfirmed yet you run with it as fact? Fantasy.

quote:

Mr. Comey had been in the Oval Office that day with other senior national security officials for a terrorism threat briefing. When the meeting ended, Mr. Trump told those present — including Mr. Pence and Attorney General Jeff Sessions — to leave the room except for Mr. Comey.
Alone in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump began the discussion by condemning leaks to the news media, saying that Mr. Comey should consider putting reporters in prison for publishing classified information, according to one of Mr. Comey’s associates.
Mr. Trump then turned the discussion to Mr. Flynn.
After writing up a memo that outlined the meeting, Mr. Comey shared it with senior F.B.I. officials. Mr. Comey and his aides perceived Mr. Trump’s comments as an effort to influence the investigation, but they decided that they would try to keep the conversation secret — even from the F.B.I. agents working on the Russia investigation — so the details of the conversation would not affect the investigation.

Leakers aren't reporters, genius.

And Obama was talking about classified information that could get people killed (the article you linked to specifially states 'related to National Intelligence'), not reports from disgruntled employees frustrated by his incompetence.

If you agree that we should punish leakers of classified intelligence, then Trump himself should be thrown in jail for what he just told the Russians.

Obama’s crackdown views leaks as aiding enemies of U.S.

Even before a former U.S. intelligence contractor exposed the secret collection of Americans’ phone records, the Obama administration was pressing a government-wide crackdown on security threats that requires federal employees to keep closer tabs on their co-workers and exhorts managers to punish those who fail to report their suspicions.

President Barack Obama’s unprecedented initiative, known as the Insider Threat Program, is sweeping in its reach. It has received scant public attention even though it extends beyond the U.S. national security bureaucracies to most federal departments and agencies nationwide, including the Peace Corps, the Social Security Administration and the Education and Agriculture departments. It emphasizes leaks of classified material, but catchall definitions of “insider threat” give agencies latitude to pursue and penalize a range of other conduct.

Government documents reviewed by McClatchy illustrate how some agencies are using that latitude to pursue unauthorized disclosures of any information, not just classified material. They also show how millions of federal employees and contractors must watch for “high-risk persons or behaviors” among co-workers and could face penalties, including criminal charges, for failing to report them. Leaks to the media are equated with espionage...

Trump can't be a leaker, because he is the president

He is the one elected to decide what information gets shared, and with who
