These 6 Corporations Control 90% Of The Media In America


http://www.businessinsider.com/these-6-corporations-control-90-of-the-media-in-america-2012-6

The article is a few years old but I seriously doubt there has been much change.  And BTW. Every single one of these six  corporations has  very strong ties to the Marxist...OOPS!  I mean Democrat party!

I see it different. You see it as the press attacking Trump personally, I see it more as them attacking the millions who voted for Trump, as well.

It's not that I see the press as attacking Trump personally, it's that based on his record of lashing back at everyone and everything that doesn't flatter him, HE sees it as attacking him personally.

But then it gets back to the problem I have with his not having integrity nor maturity, and I've been through that repeatedly.

Saying "the press is the enemy of the American people" is, at best, ham-handed and reckless (since it includes people like Hannity who holds worship services for Trump), and at worst tyrannical.

As much as Jefferson hated the press, he defended them above government.   There's a reason the Founders thought freedom of the press was important.

Actually, a lot of people, myself included, have attacked thepress openly and hardcore for years. And as I used to be one of them I speak from direct knowledge when I say that the press should be attacked by anyone that cares about this country and the truth. They are scum of the worst kind and the cause of liberalism consuming the planet in one disaster after another.

They should be sued, arrested where laws are applicable, tried, and mocked for the human garbage they are. They and their DNC fed 'reporting' are responsible for a lot of dead soldiers, dead civilians, destroyed homes and business and front and center in attempting to undermine two elections openly.

It's one thing if you or another civilian does it.  Completely different if the President of the U.S. does it.

Trump or any other president SHOULD do it. He's the guy that ends up having to deal with the fallout of their lying on a global scale.

Had Bush done it, Iraq would not be the mess it is today. nor would race relations or many other things they pushed hard. He could have nipped it in the ass and we all said so back then. Just because it's trump changes nothing. The truth is the truth. you fight for it with all the tool in the box or you don't.

Why? Does becoming president require one to give up his rights?

Incidentally, since Trump is expanding press access to his press conferences....

Where is the reporter from the GOP briefing room?

As I pointed out in another comment above, you are mixing up media and entertainment companies (and specifically just the ones you don't like) with 'the press'. We are the press, they are just publishers.

Declaring 'The Press' as the enemy because some are bad for you is like declaring Food the enemy because McDonalds makes kids fat.

   I nominate @Cripplecreek or @Weird Tolkienish Figure they'll definitely liven up the press conference.

Didn't say that now did I?  Nope.

But he took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution...for everyone...every Amendment...not just certain Amendments for people he likes.

And within that "everyone"...are those that work in the MSM that he is now referring to as a 5th Column.

He's wading into very dangerous waters with this attack on the press.  It will come back to bite him.

And this is all assuming he actually believes what he's saying about them...given the fact he's gotten good ink in the past from the same people he now attacks this cold all be a show...as Rob Mannifred admitted "He says things just to get people riled up"

Maybe so. But I kind of like a president who tells the truth about something.  Do you deny that the current media is decidedly left wing in it's composition or actions?

@XenaLee

   Obama's FCC wouldn't do it, not enough payola for him would be my guess, they all golfed with him on numerous occasions.
   Time Warner just spun off their Internet Division to Spectrum in anticipation of another FCC meeting, this time it will pass.  The Verizon lawyer Trump appointed will OK it, my thinking anyway ymmv

Never have denied it.  It's the worst kept secret in America.  But they never have been anything other than left wing from the start.

I'd like a President who is honest...we don't have one right now.

Well IMHO he surely is calling out the propaganda arm of the DNC, AKA the MSM, VERY truthfully!

Michelle Malkin said one member of the press calls Melania a hooker and Malkin mentioned some other incident; how does the press expect to be treated? Totally in the tank for the left.

You mean the same way the previous President said the same thing about Fox News...Drudge Rush etc?

Both sides do it...even when they get nothing from the press but favorable coverage.

So what is your point? I'm perfectly capable of making up my own mind about what any of them says and can agree or disagree as I choose.
