I know reading is hard for some people...but there's no mention of "not wanting to talk to them". The bigger problem is the president saying that he will ban certain news agencies due to his opinion about them "lacking credibility" and "low viewership". Also this statement: "Media outlets shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES (which again, is a personal opinion) when they're covering the President of the United States, the Trump administration, or the United States of America."

Dude Im  not american der

 

Also they have a  right to free speech but not a  right to be in the White House his official residence they will print whatever lies they want to without him having them in the same room as him.

Sha-doh [4453054]

Neither am I...but not knowing the complete context and arguing about something gives me an ick...

 

It's not about what they print and how credible or not credible it is. The viewers can choose which media outlet they want to follow for consuming news. But the executives can't simply ban a media outlet, because it undermines democratic accountability. Restricting access reduces transparency and prevents journalists from challenging the executives.

 

Also, this is a clear violation of press freedom rights. You don't need to be American to see that.

Would be funny, If they countered his bs, created a satirical news station, and used parodies, if need be. Advertise it as entertainment. What's he gonna say then, the entertainment is fake? So is most other entertainment. They can call it, "Everyday, and Night, live." Lol. 

 

I may have missed some context, but if by ban, you mean the channel itself, from air, that's what my comment was about.

Hey Australian! 


Here in the USA, a lot of roles in the government are "Servant to the public". One being the role of "President". You have similar roles in the AU government.

 

Here, there are laws, around freedom of speech, news, etc. That includes that these servant roles, are beholden to. You have similar laws, kind of, in the AU.

 

By supporting acts against that freedom, I can only assume you are not for the ideals of the US of A. And not for the ideals of your fellow AU citizen. Maybe not your sister/cousin/neightbor, but the other side of your country has like 99% of the people, so you should go ask them too. 

 

I am guessing you get a kick out of posting this stuff online here, because you know most people there laugh at you for supporting him. 

 

TLDR: Yes he does. and getting other people who don't know or support our freedoms to agree with you isn't saying much. Especially when even your rising petrol prices is because of this buffoon. is there a word stronger than pathetic?

This was already settled in court. and is a distraction. Also, most News Outlet laws in the USA in the last 50 years have been Republican led efforts. 

 

America started the unnecessary war, made it worse by bombing a hundred school kids

While a sitting president is a known child rapist, alleged murderer,  and Saudi sympathizer. 

 

 

But some folks sure are passing their loyalty tests!

Ahh, OK. The white house, is not his house, he just lives in it. It's our house. Our house, and country, is governed by the constitution. They can smd. 

Palestine [2578434]

Bro, I just saw it, and he said "durrrrr, "my", the peoples house". Who the fuck does he think he is. Lol. If someone says some shit, he will just act like he said "my", because he is "one of the people". 

Jtester [2477772]

There’s no chance anyone with a shred of dignity can support this lmao, not to mention he already tried it once and the courts shut his ass down. Anyone supporting this is just straight up fascist 

 

He even said they might shut it down again but he doesn’t care, and then said Breitbart was the only outlet that gave him fair coverage.

 

Absolute madness lmao


Anyone that thinks Donald Trump should be the arbiter of truth and decides what media coverage is acceptable should be taken out back to woodchipper 


And of course just after more media breaks about how the American public has been completely lied to about the damage to American assets in the Middle East, so obvious. Even the Pentagon is pointing out Pete is an alcoholic liarb

Theyre actively sewing division, and attendance to press briefings is a privlage, not a right. No 1st amendment violation here
