Fuck democracy

Go read some Plato kid

Yes

I noticed The Onion and Dailystormer weren't invited either, what's the difference?

Agree.

The free press is a cornerstone of democracy. You can hate them all you want but they're necessary.

I agree with McCain when he said, "This is how dictators get started." Hitler disassembled the free press, so did Putin, and so did Lenin.

>not good for a democracy.

This doesn't inhibit peoples right to vote, dipshit.

CNN isn't entitled to press briefings or anything really. The president doesn't even have to host press briefings he can do what he wants.

The press aren't democratically elected

They're actually bad for democracy with the power they wield

true

Stepping on Donald's private property is a violation of the NAP

...

>CNN
>FOX
>MSNBC
>Brietbutt etc...

If you get your "news" from these you should immediately neck yourself.

Kill yourself David

they aren't news organizations, they're media companies.

big difference.

besides, CSPAN broadcasts everything, what the fuck do you needs CNNs contextomy?

>This sort of thing is not good for a democracy.
How ? They can't go to the WH but they are still allowed to shit all over Trump 24/7.

It's just mediatic war.Trump is in war with the MSM.

Disagree. Freedom of the press is a right that they still have. Access to the White House is a privilege they no longer possess. Learn the difference or kill yourself

>The free press is a cornerstone of democracy
How is this stopping free press? They're still able to print a story without being censored.

and where does a king nigger like you get his news?

the difference is, in liberal minds, only the corporate owned media is actual "press" that is protected under the constitution. They also seem to believe freedom of press doesn't mean the people can report on whatever they want, it means you cant criticize the MSM corporate media for being wrong.

If you haven't realized it yet, Trump/Bannon are literally trying to destroy our democracy. Go read up on some Dugin and see their ideological basis for doing so.

you're posting on it right now

Well, it doesn't really have anything to do with democracy, but it's not good in general.
As much as I want to see CNN and their ilk burn, this isn't the way to go about it.
They should be forced to report news honestly, and severely punished when they don't, not blocked from participating in important stuff.

Fuck democracy.
Democracy = mob rule where the largest group of idiots run the show

This is simply what the press does. They shit all over pretty much any president so long as there's good stories to be had. Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, GHW, GW, etc.

Do you know what happens when you're a president and you call the press the enemy? You get impeached. This is exactly what happened to Nixon.

>Getting news on a satire board

^^Its a good thing when CNN fans the flames of the uppity negro problem

Agree

>the press shit all over Obama and Clinton

u wot?

Your 'democracy' has never been a real one and will never be.

Enjoy being manipulated to sacrifice your life for israel and eat another 5 big macs

well, when you are invited to sit in the press room and here direct quotes, and you STILL completely butcher statements that are made to mislead and inflame american society, your presence is doing more harm than good to democracy.

Being barred from the press room is an embarrassment to your organization, nothing more.

As much as I hate fake news this was a bit to far

What does shitty media has anything to do with democracy?
Its a privately owned company with its policy to be biased in reporting and pretending to be "unbiased".

I really do not see the problem with his ban.

CNN has been demonstrated to have an agenda many believe to be broadly anti western, specifically anti American in bias towards certain idealogies. given their enormous power, I find that far more dangerous than ensuring access every time someone in the WH passes gas.

CNN needs to learn that it needs us more than we need them. thus balance is restored and they can go back to shitposting about celebrities or start offering real unbiased coverage.

Uhhh...

>getting news from a profit-driven media corporation

it included the nytimes and the latime, user

You are just stupid nigger, try looking outside of your box. Our legit media is on the internet now, not on the TV that no one watches. Corporate media doesn't just get a pass to do whatever they want while getting to shit all over the small media on cable and the internet.

Free press means the press is free to report on whatever the fuck they want, and they do, and they will. It doesn't mean they are absolved of criticism, and it sure as fuck doesn't mean it only applies to media companies deemed legit by massive corporations.

They dont need access to the white house to be free, that is a privelege given to certain outlets. Onigger set the precedent by fucking over fox, so here we are.

...

>He was Hitler all along
Well played Trump.....well played

It's another fake story. Nobody was banned from the White House. They held a special meeting with certain outlets and the groups that didn't get invited threw a hissy fit like the entitled cunts they are.

>democracy
IT'S A REPUBLIC lel

>Trump/Bannon are literally trying to destroy our democracy. Go read up on some Dugin and see their ideological basis for doing so.
>Dugin
>Trump and Bannon's ideological basis
>This is what neocons actually believe

Notice that "doesn't invite news organization" became "blocking news organization". This is the shift of language you want to look out for. That's the exact moment when liberals try to pretend that losing a privilege is an attack on their rights.

Were they allowed in the press conference, ie was it only the "gaggle" they weren't allowed into?

This. News should be state funded non-profit.

A private lunch is not the same as a daily WH press gaggle, with the latter being much more formal than a private lunch.

Stop worshipping democracy.

>thinking I get news from a media corporation

I'd argue it'd be better in the long run to make an example of them in court rather than just keeping them in the dark.

What do you categorize as real news? Breitbart? Infowars?

>This sort of thing is not good for a democracy.

First of all, can you define democracy?

Do you know the difference between democracy and republic?

Do you know which of these systems of government is guaranteed to us by our constitution?

How is anybody's voting franchise threatened by these subversives not being allowed access to a presidential briefing?

Hey hitler!

Talk shit, get hit

>what does media has to do with democracy
oh boy

Does Canada even have free speech?

(((news organizations)))

>it's different because they are lunch

I would argue that the lunch was more formal, seeing as the president attended himself. This wasn't a normal press conference, the propagandists weren't entitled to attend.

Smash corporatist media

no it was not a special meeting, that's the difference.

>being this naive

>Putin
here we go again the russiand boogaloo
hitler and putin are totaly the same thing

Nice loaded biased question

Disagree. They were attempting to promote a socialist government with Globalist intentions and were shilling hard for that agenda.

American news is suppose to be impartial and just report the news. Even a liberal pussy would have to admit these MSM bastards were biased for Hillubeast. Now the counts are still shilling against our president.
Fun the MSM. WE DON'T NEED THEM. There are many others that aren't corporate shills, socialist shills.

They deserve it.

Good thing America isn't a democracy then, eh?

It was a special meeting. This wasn't a normal press conference. Obama did the same thing, only he excluded right wing outlets and he met with the outlets personally.

>I agree with McCain
That's where you fucked up.
Never trust a globalist.
Their aims are always to push the Jew World Order.

There is a simple Question which should be answered?
Which dictator didn't figh against the free press and which democratic leader fought against the free press.

Nork poster

>You get impeached. This is exactly what happened to Nixon.

Nixon was never impeached you fucking dolt.

It's fucking beyond me why all you third world parasites who know nothing about our history or system of government decide to weigh in on subjects of which you have zero fucking knowledge.

Not an argument, faggot.

Nixon wasn't impeached

what so we should invite Mad Magazine, Kracked, and the Onion too?

NO ONE GAVE A SHIT WHEN OBAMA DID IT

Democracy can suck my fatty.

>Tries to put Breitbart on the same shit tier as MSNBC and CNN
No user, that's not how that works.
See, Breitbart actually has a good track record.

He's not disassembling the free press you enormous fucking faggot. There isn't a single medium we have that CNN can't sit on 24 hours a day saying whatever they want about Trump.

>Plato
Sorry im not a commie

not necessarily, I'm just responding to the implication that these corporations are the only legit source of news, which was later proven to be misconstrued:

The problem is that state-funded news is called propaganda.

Every president in our history has fought the press. Hell, our second president, John Adams made criticism of the President illegal. FDR bullied the press into hiding the fact he was in a wheelchair. Vice President Agnew was the Trump of the 20th century.

CNN is just fucking assblasted and they're losing ratings by the day. They are so desperate right now, they will do or say just about anything to get people to listen to them.
Fake news is fake and they will edit and scrutinize anyone who disagrees with them. They've been doing this for decades.

>Even a liberal pussy would have to admit these MSM bastards were biased for Hillubeast.

That's where you're wrong, I've had to argue this more than once with a couple family members.

i was thinking of presidents after WWII

media hate thread?

>The works of a russian eurasianist nationalist who hates the west are the ideological basis of two american nationalists

Don't you realize how retarted this is ?

This. There are plenty of people out there who have convinced themselves 100% the mainstream media were aligned with Trump.

and this is a bullshit argument, filled with false equivalancy.

FREEDOM OF the press does not mean you have to TALK to the press. The press doesn't like the administration freezing them out? that's cool, they'll have to make up their stories without those comments.

MSM is openly inciting the public to assassinate democratically elected officials

Well yeah, that sounds like it's very good for democracy.

in court for what? we have the first amendment, which means they can pretty much say anything they want against a public figure
you have to illustrate how untrustworthy they are. If you're getting banned by the president of the United States, people are going to want to know why.

My problem was they were more arguing that they were fair and the media is still unbiased.

If CNN or other networks want to blatantly disrespect the president at press briefings, as they've done several times before, why should Trump or Spicer invite them back? There's a difference between asking tough questions and telling the fucking president of the United States that he is acting inappropriately to his face...

>oh boy
I'm listening.

There is qualitative difference between (((media))) and media.

LITERALLY HITLER

Jewish media also known as MSM only give you news their corporate buddies want and the narratives they want.
The MSM has been ignoring conservative issues and saying you cant decrease immigration.
I would love to see the jewish ass kissers in media burnt to death.
Ignoring shitskin crimes is also why they should be round up

its all heavily biased one way or another. Right leaning propaganda is still just propaganda .

I don't understand what the problem is? Tabloid have never belonged in White House briefings.

I know its retarded, but here we are. Do Bannons insane ramblings not have everything to do with insane ramblings of Dugin? I mean, they are reading from the same hymnal. Get your head out of your ass

"Fought free press " is a bad term, as this isn't what Trump is doing. He's being critical of the media and favoring outlets that are favorable. Every president has done this. Hell, Obama openly said Fox News was a "propaganda arm of the Republican party".

What Trump is doing is nothing new at all. The media's deception on the issue is new.

Or showing up and asking questions about your own news network constantly making it about you.

Only thing would be libel, that's if they can actually get concrete proof problem is Trump says outlandish and sometimes stupid things to distract them from what he's actually doing.

Don't you have any libel laws over there that you can use against them?
