If I were a board member of any of the major publicly owned media companies, I would take note of the increasingly strident tone of his tweets, especially knowing that Trump does not pull punches when fighting back.   He probably has the information that he needs about the coordination between IC and specific journalists.   

 

The board members now need to look at whether Trump will look at the media companies in the way that the Feds looked at Arthur Andersen or how they looked at Wells Fargo.  Both of those cases involved employees who engaged in illegal/unethical conduct.  Difference is that in one, the government decided to file charges against the company and not only the individuals.   All they need to show is that if there was unorthodox cooperation, it extended beyond a single journalist.

POTUS is a BORG! :o

 

No, no. Clearly the media is in his head, and he now needs to be impeached, removed from office, voted out by the electoral college, and Hillary installed as Supreme Leader for all eternity.

The cocktail circuit comments I have been making in regards to the boy's wives were based on pretty loud whispers. Fox isn't their dad's network anymore. They are gonna drive it over the edge... there was a cartoon last month? The month before? where Fox was watching CNN hit a fake news iceberg and start to sink. Fox has been heading in the same direction. People have just been a tad slower to catch on as their weeknight (after 8pm) line-up isn't really liberal or #nevertrump. Shep and Cavuto though?  Oy.

Brett & Martha's time slots are pretty much news with interviews and panel discussions interspersed in. After eight it's all conservative opinion. I know what you mean about Shep---he's better suited for MSNBC or CNN. I've always thought Cavuto was ok but don't mind Charles Payne when he fills in for him.

15 pages of it will be the NY Times proclaiming that Mueller's report backs up their stellar reporting (while ignoring the collusion conclusions they spewed for 2+ years).

The headlines of my local paper, The Virginian Pilot, today:

Report shines light on Trump's Conduct - AG Releases Mueller Report: President's multiple attempts to stop Russia investigation largely thwarted by those around him

 

Journalism is dead.

they can't take that Trump won

 

they are the little crybabies on your block who went home when they were tagged "it" or took the rest of their life off after getting hit hard in a sports game

I wouldn't say it's dead. It's just being done by citizen journalists now. The big news congloms are compromised beyond belief. They don't report news, they push propaganda. But there are plenty of good reporters and citizen journalists out there producing top quality stuff.
