CNN, New York times, Los Angeles Times, BuzzFeed, the BBC! etc. are all now to be somewhat replaced by the ultra right Breitbart. Is this Trumps way of punishing agencies that do not agree with his agenda? Or is it his way of saying, he is against fake news? Better yet, with such an attempt to censorship, can we call WH news fake?!
Presidents have always had it rough with the media, but this is what made America great! We have always voiced out against autocratic regimes. Americans never thought a day would come when we would need to examine how we did things in comparison to regimes we happen to be so against.
In all fairness, CNN, NYT etc. have not been very fair in their representation on issues as it relates to Israel, Kashmir, or even fair on national issues such as the Dakota pipeline, native American concerns, or matters pertaining to blacks in inner cities, etc. etc. What media outlets have done to others, the same has now happened to them by the WH. The difference however is that these news organizations still have a voice due to their financial backing. So are we really to feel sorry for them? Where they even doing what journalist are called upon to do?
was the media really for freedom of speech anyway?
