Trump's attack on media as 'enemy of the people' is disgraceful and dangerous

[ControlWarrior]

The first time Fox News was actually news.

Eek, yeah I don't agree... They have a bias, just like the others.

[Zeta333]

Idk. What I read was PewDiePie claiming to be targeted by the media and complaining how the media never reported his great story and only how much he made. I agree with the media and not with PewDiePie on this.

The fact that people extrapolate the 'targeting' as branding him a Nazi isn't something I could really comment on since it wasn't a part of the discussion I just saw. So again I ask if anyone actually watched the news or do they just come online to bitch?

Anyways I have to cut this here because I'm derailing.

His sponser who was founded by a racist and a jew hater. ironic eh.

Not surprising as Smith demanded the truth...

[infinit]

How exactly?

Agenda pushing, half stories, twisting of stories, bias, complete lack of investigation, pushing crap to try and be "FIRST!" and when the truth comes to light not correcting it.

were hardly ever given the straight news, were given the reporter's own bias wrapped around the news, or we given "news" based off a a random tweet.

this goes for both left and right wing media and its not only an american thing.

You say this and then

This

You don't get to play ignorant and at the sametime say you agree with the media.

Its clear you lack any knowledge of the story at hand. So once again you agreeing with the media is agreeing he is a nazi since the media is the ones who accused him of being one.

You don't get to play both sides of the fence sorry.

I bet they find a way to reconcile their differences once the headlines die down, but I don't think PewDiePie even needs their collaboration anymore.

[Shadowferal]

Whoever this "PewDiePie" is s/he needs to get over it.
It was a business decision and there's not a damn thing s/he can do about it.

[Cthulhu 2020]

Maybe if they would stop lying he would stop calling them out on it?

Incoming facism forever club and news stories fact checked by buzzfeed.

"The media says things I nor Donald Trump like. It's a lot of inconvenient truths that I'd rather not reach my ears. So Donald Trump absolutely should call the media "lies" even when they are not, to delegitimize them, so I can create a safe space where I do not have to hear information I'm uncomfortable with hearing."

Are you going to pretend that Disney didn't see any scrutiny over it? Remember Powder?

[xero5141]

Its fascist dictator talk. Period.

Mao, Stalin, Hitler, the worst of the worst scum of history, all declared x,y,z groups as enemies of the people.

Now we have Trump doing exactly the same. Its not a coincidence. Thank God for the system of checks and balances, even then it might not be enough.

This is the part that baffles me. Whether you like the guy or not, if you look at the things Donald Trump is doing and WANTS to do, the things he's saying. They are pound for pound traditional fascist dictator moves.

[Belize]

So, how long until some lunatic picks up on what Trump is saying, and attacks a journalist?

Seriously. What the fuck.

[Sockie]

Is that what you were doing? Asking the guy with a bunch of examples if he was aware of the problem?

I think you are rather deep in denial to be frank you will ignore reality to reinforce your beliefs...

Good for you on your Buzzfeed and Pewdiepie example. Let's see a few more. The fact that our "President" is labeling the entirety of Media as "Enemies of the people" should scare you.

[ControlWarrior]

Dude, he's like the biggest name on YouTube at the moment.

[Casterbridge]

I wish that news outlets stop using yellow jornalism tactics for revenue (like the Pewdiepie issue) and focus on the real problems, with solid hard facts, to become Watchdogs of our society. Clickbait "journalist" boozos should be kicked from the system, let real journalism take back the helm, on an age that we really need it.

Can someone explain to me what the mainstream media did that some how wronged Pewdiepie?

Everything I've read, including the links so far provided in this thread, related exactly what happened. Pewdiepie made antisementic statements and videos, he claims people are over-reacting and he did it as a joke, Youtube, Disney etc are cutting ties because it's negative publicity.

Is that not what happened? I don't' see any reference in any decent source referring to him as a Nazi or anything else at least not the media calling him such, just a report of the vids he did and the consequences of those videos.

Isn't that the media's job?

[Shadowferal]

Dude, he's like the biggest name on YouTube at the moment.

Who the fuck cares?

[Bodakane]

Well, the media is quickly making themselves the story. Despite their attempts at "objectivity".

No they aren't. They are just reporting what is happening. Trump is making them story based on Bannon's orders.

Like I said early'er, The reason Trump gets compared to Hitler is because he is doing shit from the same playbook.

The only difference between the two is that Hitler was smart.

50 Million + people give or take.

They? Why are they the problem, when you are asserting that we need to have controversy over disney's history all the time? Are you suggesting they didn't see any in their history? Are you going to suggest that Disney is somehow not rallied against, when they do shit considered insensitive?

That's all well and good and a whole lot of buzzwords. But give some specifics of the MSM doing these things.

[Zeta333]

Considering they sponsered him in the past and knew exactly who he was, getting butthurt over some jokes, as tasteless as they were is beyond stupid.
