He's done that several times so don't even bother trying to claim otherwise. The lump of shit also equates a negative story about him as fake. It's an indefensible position for those that truly value democracy.



We've discussed this before. I'd argue that the news media has become a cog in the machine of Cultural Marxism, part of the conspirators to undermine our democracy and collapse our Constitutional democracy and re-make us into a socialist globalist European style utopia.

And it would appear that an overwhelming majority of the population agrees with Trump that the news media has become an enemy of the people. A majority of both Republicans and Independents have ceased to trust the liberal media. And Liberals only trust it because it's confirmation bias for what they already believe.

I think on the specific subject of the political coup against Donald Trump's presidency, where FBI,, CIA and intelligence agency powers have been misused and weaponized to slander and depose a sitting president, the news media have betrayed the responsibility they were entrusted with, and have actually helped the coup rather than objectively cover what is happening.

Likewise with the weaponizing of the IRS against conservatives 6 years ago. And on the prosecution of Lois Lerner, where (like with Hillary Clinton) the case was deliberately thrown by FBI/DOJ, and the media barely covered it. That is truly scary. It is no surprise that without media pushback, Democrats were emboldened to even greater abuses of power.

Likewise, rather than exposing the pushes toward mob rule and attacks on conservatives, the news media have also selectively omitted coverage of, abdicated responsibility for, and actually sided with, the mob. Mob rule is perfectly okay for the liberal media, so long as the mob they favor wins. We are headed for a Democrat/liberal Kristallnacht on conservative America, and the media is nowhere to be found.

So while Trump has said that about the news media, and he has said not all the news media are fake, "but many of them are awful people", there are plenty of examples to back that statement up. That they are not only deliberately deceitful in their coverage of conservatives, and especially of Trump in particular, but that the media are far-Left participants in the Cultural Marxist/globalist conspiracy against the United States itself.
