Of course he does. Silencing the press is a vital part of the fascist agenda
Good. Start with Fox News.
But their not a news network. They’re an entertainment network.
By definition making them a fake news network.
So Fox “News” will be taken off the air? Because that would be the correct interpretation of his words.
This senile fuck has no idea he’s turned up the water too fast and everyone is noticing the boil. Firing Kimmel didn’t go well, what makes him think this will be any different? Same day as the Qatari air base? Bold move.
But what can people do about it?
What did people do last time and the time before that and the time before that? This isn’t new we know the outcome of these sorts of things.
They’ll start with MSNBC. People will complain but if they stay the course it will become the new normal. Other news networks will adjust their programming to avoid the same fate. Part of why the Kimmel thing failed was because it was indirect action - the threat was to not grant approval for the Nexstar merger, but the media and publishing backlash made them reinstate Kimmel.
If they start directly revoking licenses then the “kill chain” is basically 1 or 2 links long and the order coming right from Trump’s office.
Personally I think he could get away with it. Americans are still mostly too comfortable for the kind of action it would take to actually stop him.
We’re about to have underground and pirate news networks.
What a time to be alive.
WWII and the Nazi regime 2.0
They are so unimaginative that the only thing they can do is to repeat history
So tired of this asshole.
yep. was thinking the other day, we need to be aware:
when he dies, no matter the cause, when people celebrate, they’ll be doxxed by rightwing fuckwits.
so that’s a future we have to look forward to.
I’m imagining about 32% of the country doxing the 50+% of normal Americans that won’t exactly be sad about Taco’s passing…I would say I don’t believe it would be a thing, but I am watching the unfolding of their hysterical overreaction to a Z-list podcast “star” getting shot and people that don’t agree with Nazism getting fired for quoting the Nazi, so…sadly, you are probably correct.
Trump’s dead in this scenario, though? Worth it.
I hope so.
Truly. Because it would REALLY REALLY FUCKING SUCK to find out after he keeled over from hamberder that a fascist dictatorship run by a bumbling moron is preferable to a fascist dictatorship run by half competent types.
or god forbid even a fascist skilled at the tools of governance.
Notice he didn’t mention CBS.
Yeah Skydance/Paramount/CBSViacom just bought the Free Press for $150 million and installed Bari Weiss as CBSNews editor-in-chief.Hadn’t heard that… just read up on it some and wow. Horrifying!
And of course he’s the one who decides which are which…
Trump’s return to the White House this year has brought a revival of his adversarial relationship with the media.
Keep calling a nuclear bomb a stick of dynamite. That’s how the news will die.
Chimo says what?
