Trump threatens to target licenses of 'NBC and the Networks' after nuclear arsenal report

@roamer_1

They're all for shutting the press up right now, but in a few years when a Democrat gets into office, see how they like  it then.

That is exactly right!

Never give your enemies a weapon you don't want pointed back at you.

I really enjoyed that show.

@RoosGirl

Right?  It never lost momentum or bored you, and the acting was incredible.

I really should stop complaining about having to do laundry.  ^-^

Who are you kidding. An uppity bitch like you has people for cleaning and laundry. You throw your clothes on the floor one day and they are clean and hung up the next.

@Frank Cannon

You need to watch Bates Motel, then.  Vera Farmiga is a combination of beautiful and crazy.  Love her.

Listen lady. I was on that show from beginning to end. I was going to bail on the last season because they killed off Norma, but luckily they figured a way to keep her in.

If we’re really to the point where so-called conservatives are calling for more government regulation of the free press, I’ve truly lost hope for our republic.  God help us........Please!

Amen.  Not Conservative or American.  I came across this tonight.  I thought about posting as a thread but this issue has been rehashed for 18 pages.  And now it has become a horror story.


Ben Sasse and Sean Hannity Throw Down Over Sean’s Career and Sasse’s Values

Posted at 7:30 pm on October 12, 2017 by Caleb Howe

Yesterday, President of the United States Donald Trump threatened the free exercise of speech in a tweet about, of course, “fake news”. Conservative Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse saw it differently and said so, also on Twitter. Then Trump talk show host Sean Trumppity Trump tweeted on Twitter about it.

We all know already what President Trump said. Here is what Senator Sasse said about what Trump said:


  Ben Sasse
 ?  ?@BenSasse 

Mr. President:
Are you recanting of the Oath you took on Jan. 20 to preserve, protect, and defend the 1st Amendment?

7:03 PM - Oct 11, 2017

And here is what Hannity said about what Sasse said about what Trump said:


  Sean Hannity
 ?  ?@seanhannity 

One of the biggest mistakes in my career was supporting @BenSasse Just useless.

It's okay Mr Hannity, I haven't watched your channel since before Meghan Kelly left.
Who is useless now?

[roamer_1]

Lest we forget, Sasse's ACU score is 100. Not many of those out there.

First time I agree with Sean 100%. There is a reason Sasse has one of the thinnest Wiki pages. It's because he has done nothing. Not a thing.

I really don't care one way or the other about Ben Sasse; he's a politician, he's conservative, yay.  But Sean Hannity?  He's the biggest douche bag on this planet.  Now he's playing Trump copycat with his tweets?  BFD.

[InHeavenThereIsNoBeer]

But Sean Hannity?  He's the biggest douche bag on this planet. 

I don't know about that.  He's got a bit of a chubby face, but I'll bet I've got 10# (beer muscle) on him.

I stand corrected @InHeavenThereIsNoBeer is the biggest douche bag on the planet.  Congratulations! Sean Hannity is the second biggest.

I wonder how many of those are losing money?

Where does the New York Times and the Washington Post fit in there? Are they in the 10%?

Here’s how the whole broadcast license thing works.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_license

While NBC the network doesn’t have a license (they own a few individual stations that do), it does have a business license, which raises some interesting possibilities.

[Smokin Joe]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_license

In addition to a broadcast license, NBC would have to have a business license, which raises some interesting possibilities.

Nah. We have been assured that it is just a matter of contributing to the right politicians and things go smoothly. It's called "The price of doing business in New York City", and applies all too often elsewhere as well.

Either way it is time to get rid of them.

Saw on "Good Morning America"  just this morning one of the propaganda agents who portrays himself as News Anchor say in reference to Trump signing an executive order on Obamacare:


"Trump is going to hurt millions of poor people just because he wants to. "



"Just because he wants to. "


And some of you think threatening to pull their licenses for such blatant political campaigning is beyond the pale?

They are nothing but blatant propagandist! Liars all!

If I am not mistaken three or four companies own 80% of the viewed content on TV.

I also heard some insurance expert on NPR use that exact same phraseology.

So, the BS narrative is set. However, they’re facing a very different President this time.  One that’s  got small thumbs and a phone – and he tweets. Boy, does he tweet. LOL!

I knew a lady who worked behind the scenes at the local TV station who had the utmost contempt for "newsreaders". Face it folks, these people are only someone presentable, with the right voice and a well crafted sense of 'gravitas' who can act as a loudspeaker for the teleprompter or the voice in their ear.
