Yes, I'd agree, the thread title is quite 'stupid', and so is the fvvkwit who started the thread.......

Unbelievable - he really said that ???

What this shows about Trump is that he puts his political faith in the idea that his supporters and some others will not test what he is saying. That works with a lot of people. It like that Lincolnism about fooling some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. Trump's continued attacks on the news media would be a lot more successful, if he explained how fake news actually works, which is by putting editorial opinion alongside actual news of events. Trouble is most people are unable to separate the two in there own minds, and my guess is the Trump is one of them. That is why he cannot explain himself.

I like Trump. But I admit this concerns me.

Trump's supporters mostly don't recognize his authoritarianism ... those that do are in denial and explain it away ... then there are others who do see it and like what they see ...

The young turks first appeared on the Algore channel and stayed on air with Al Jazeera America until it went off the air. Youtube was the last place to upload their videos for income.

Fake News shouldn't fool the weak minded with their politically driven slant on the News without stating everything they broadcast is bias and opinionated.  Sometimes it is really hard to believe they don't employ the writers from The Onion. If NBC or any other so called news source can't follow the guidelines of their licenses they need to lose it. If you require a license to broadcast you do not have freedom of speech and can be taken off the air by the FCC. President Trump is within his Rights to ask if fake news is within their license.

It concerns you that Trump sees no problem in ending a free press????  So why can you POSSIBLY like Trump now? This has to be a deal breaker for every freedom-loving person surely?

But the press will always be free to publish positive things about Trump.

If fake news is an issue then Fox should have lost their licence 20 years ago.

If they had broken any rules under Obama they would have. You mistake the talking heads with hour long programs with Reporters and Journalists, they are neither. All President Trump asks is fair reporting, not the slobbering devotion shown to Democrats and not the constant venom he receives. The Media will admit proudly that over 90% of their coverage of Trump is negative and they do everything they can to undermine him and the American people.

The media openly lies and spins everything that Trump says and does. This is not news - its propaganda!  The media is no longer doing what its charter dictates. That is providing accurate news and info to the public.

Trump can only get his message across through Twitter.

I'm all for a free press but this press is controlled by the deep state and its time for these licenses to be revoked.

He's good for the economy... What kind of retard would get anything out of assassinating him?

Trump is facing the end of his presidency. Manafort is just the first low-hanging fruit, the easy indictments. Now comes the rest of them!

Trump has just about off-sided everyone with his loose lips and his penchant for scribbling thought-bubbles on Facebook and Twitter.

I can't see him winning a second term.

If he owned a dog I think it would by now be snarling at him and lunging from behind furniture to bite him on the leg. Trump's anti-magnetic personality has just about alienated him from both humans and animals.

But!

I hope he gets a Second Term so he can do more stirring of the born-to-rule establishment elite who have been far too complacent for far too long.

Incidentally, didn't Gillard and Rudd also make grumbling noises about limiting the freedom of the press because too many articles and opinion pieces were not sympathetic to their political views?

I'd be more impressed if I heard you say that Trump was dangerously wrong to threaten the licences of media outlets he doesnt like. I DONT THINK THAT EVEN YOU COULD SHOEHORN THAT INTO 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH'.

We have the same debate here about media bias. If the ABC's conduct was seriously and independently challenged, it would be found not to meet its charter obligations to be fair and balanced.



Trump has cut through, again. The media is insanely biased about him. They were like that with Dubya, but (unsurprisingly) pliant and accommodating with the first white Kenyan prez the US had.

LW58 will be scratchin' his head for days tryin' to understand the concept of what you said, because AFAIK, we have no such obligations here in Australia connected to broadcast licensing.

If he would have investigated further like I suggested, he might have read about it.....but understand it.....that's another bag of beans.

It wasn't a dopey Turkish guy it was a dopey orange guy - his tweets say it all. It was "Trumps tweets". Nobody else.

Yet every time someone does a study trying to catch the ABC out they walk away scratching their head because they invariably discover a slight bias to the right.

By a large margin the biggest purveyor of fake news in the US is Fox. They have been faking it up on the conservative side for decades but Trump loves them because they are on his side.

Just so.

Noting again, that challenging and revoking are TWO separate but possibly related things.

Nobody wants to revoke a licence or investigate non-compliance with a charter. So there is political pressure reminding the media that they have an obligation: EITHER be fair and balanced OR declare partisanship (IF they are not a publicly funded outfit, that is).

You can be as biased as you like if you are a private outfit as long as you declare it. Declaring balance and then being partisan (Granuiad, ABC, Fairfax) is not honest. Funnily enough,  News Corp's The Australian is the most balanced news and opinion source in this country.  I think it's one of the best newspapers in the world.

Why dont you just try watching them and then watch any other media site and notice the extremely different stories.

What nonsense!

90% of the news here is openly anti-Trump. The only network that gives him a fair coverage is Fox. Hannity and Lou Dobbs are definitely pro Trump but that is all.

NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS and the rest of the "news" purveyors are owned by the deep state. And they are in meltdown over Trumps success. So much so that it's  become obvious to the general public just how biased they are. Mere propaganda outlets!

Ive never said Fox does fake news generally although the DNC staffer 'murder' was all fake news and they were forced to stop talking about it. They do however show extraordinary bias towards the extreme right. Just take a look at their view on political stories as opposed to every other media site.  Even the arrests of yesterday are all now about Hillary instead of recognising that Trump is in seriousl trouble.
