Big Blitz Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 French President Emanuel Macron slammed the U.S. mainstream media in an interview with The New York Times for “legitimizing” violence, saying that it was a sign that the nation’s “founding principles have been lost.” Macron’s interview comes after France was rocked multiple times last month with Islamic terrorist attacks that started with a teacher who was beheaded for showing cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed. “When France was attacked five years ago, every nation in the world supported us,” Macron said, referring to the November 2015 Islamic terrorist attacks that resulted in the deaths of well over 100 people in Paris. “So when I see, in that context, several newspapers which I believe are from countries that share our values — journalists who write in a country that is the heir to the Enlightenment and the French Revolution — when I see them legitimizing this violence, and saying that the heart of the problem is that France is racist and Islamophobic, then I say the founding principles have been lost.” https://www.dailywire.com/news/french-president-emanuel-macron-slams-u-s-mainstream-media-legitimizing-violence You nailed it Sir. The heirs to Western Civilization and our values (that they continue to mock let alone understand them) are under siege by the very people claiming that Trump is the threat to democracy. The modern left have become the heirs to Nazi Germany and Mao's China. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Macron lectured Trump in front of dozens of world leaders, saying nations that put their own interests first had lost their moral compass. Trump responded by mocking France for its military defeats to Germany. Are you referring to this Macron or a different one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This attack on the free press using vague and unspecified charges are pretty silly from the daily wire, a propaganda rag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating no comment on our own propaganda rags (NY Times, WaPo) that aren't really reporting on the beheading of a teacher. And the only comments here from the Maoists are outrage over the Daily Wire and orange man bad for life. Peak stupid.

oldmanfan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Just now, RochesterRob said: It has been already torn down by the left. You are too blinded by partisanship to see it. I am independent. You are the partisan here. Why is it that to those in your universe that only those that trend to the left are partisan, but those like you that only watch Fox New or the other right wing alternatives are not? You lose the ability of the press to question government, you have a dictatorship. But that's what you wanted with Trump, wasn't it? Did he not say that under Article 2 he could do whatever he wanted? I voted for Biden not because I'm a fan of many of his policies, but because he wants to maintain our system of government and not turn our country into a dictatorship. So my question for you is simple: why did you want to have a dictator run our country? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Howard Stern scoffed at the idea of President Donald Trump launching a news network following his failed reelection bid, predicting that such an enterprise would not even last a year. “He thinks running the country is hard — wait ‘til he has to run a news network,” Stern said on his SiriusXM show Monday (via the New York Daily News). “That’ll fail inside of a year like all the other businesses. This is just insanity what’s going on.” Stern made his projection while discussing Trump’s recent attacks on Fox News with his sidekick Robin Quivers. “The president all weekend was busy tweeting about Fox News,” Stern said. “He’s mad at them because they actually had some reality over there.” The host then gave a shout out to Trump’s new favorite network: OAN — admitting that he’s never actually seen it and does not even know where to watch if he wanted to. Quivers noted that she is familiar with the network, slamming it as “a doozy,” before the two switched gears and addressed how the president has handled his loss. “For once do something good for the country, calm down your ***** loony hillbilly friends and tell them you lost the election and you’re going to help the transition,” Stern said. “These loonies who follow you are all worked up; they think something was taken from them.” https://www.mediaite.com/radio/howard-stern-scoffs-at-the-idea-of-trump-tv-would-fail-inside-of-a-year-just-like-all-his-other-businesses/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true dictator would have squashed such a media early on. By the way I don't watch FOX News so don't try to pigeon hole me. So, you are a fan of "the thing?"
