>Journalism groups and media reporters warn that a Donald Trump presidency could do serious damage to press freedom.
>Throughout his campaign, Trump has launched a series of attacks on the press, ranging from personally attacking reporters to barring critical outlets from covering his events to promising to “open up our libel laws” if he’s elected. Trump also has a long history of suing or threatening to sue critical journalists, and he and a top ally have both invoked the prospect of enacting retribution against media using the government.
>Last week, The New York Times cited legal experts explaining how Trump's "blustery attacks on the press, complaints about the judicial system and bold claims of presidential power collectively sketch out a constitutional worldview that shows contempt for the First Amendment, the separation of powers and the rule of law."
Do we want to live in a world where journalists aren't allowed to recklessly lie about people?
Ryan Sanchez
Yes
Juan Sullivan
the MSM has already committed libel hundreds of times this election cycle
there needs to be some accountability desu, the media has become a bloated parasite because all it cares about is money
make journalism great again
Ethan Moore
>Trump also has a long history of suing or threatening to sue critical journalists >Trump has a long history of standing up for himself against liars, a trait that would prove invaluable in the highest office in the country FTFY
Joseph Russell
It's almost like people don't realize he's been campaigning against the media along with all the rest of the country's ills. And then they believe the media's attacks against him, like they're not biased

Trump trained you good.
Nolan Perez
The press is a cartel. Even if you don't do something they print it and it circulates in every other media outlet within a couple hours. Even if they are wrong they almost never apologize and circulate a corrected story. You are guilty before proven innocent.
Wyatt Reyes
>trump talks about strengthening libel laws >MUH PRESS FREEDOM
fuck all of these people
Aiden Murphy
the only thing that ensures and backs up the 1st amendment is the 2nd amendment. trump doesn't care if people have ar-15's. hillary wants to ban ar-15's.
it's that simple
Angel Thomas
You make a good point, but the problem is that every major news outlet us a globalist shill. Scratch that. The problem is that people are watching the major news outlets. Perhaps a market correction is in order, capitalists are OK with those, right?
William Turner
It's not just about Trump. How many lives have to be destroyed by the "free" press that is employed as weapon by the extremely wealthy? You seem to think that there are no journalists or news outlets that are controlled by special interest groups
Kayden Jenkins
OP I'll have you know, that the ADL is on the hurt right now.
You should rephrase this thread, or delete it all together, tbrh
(((Media Matters))) (I use this as an example) is direct, and violent hate speech you cannot use " (( ))" in your posts. It's fucking terrorism.
So I repeat. It is probably in the best interests of everyone involved in this thread if you rephrase this thread or delete it.
Sebastian Ward
>Strenghtinging libel laws
You fucking retard, he'd blow a hole in them, to make it easier for public figures AND THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT to sue journalists, creating a massive chilling effect on the freedom of press and any inquiry into his actions.
But you want that, don't you?
Chase Richardson

Can somebody explain (((this meme))) and how it is used to anger the merchant?
Angel Morgan
lol The Donald is like kryptonite to these (((media))) parasites, they have lied, threatened, tried to silence, and lately encouraged violence against Trump and his supporters but none of it has worked.
Now they are acting like the victim and sadly this might be the winning move in this culture of oppression olympics.
Sebastian Hall
WTF WE HAVE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SHIT WE SPEW THAT HAS REAL REPERCUSSIONS? BAWWWWWW HELP WE'RE BEING OPPRESSED
Journalists are all fucking scum.

At least the Donald and his followers have the decently to not even pretend they know about the Constitution, let alone care about it.
Never has a Ron Paul reaction image been more appropriate.

Oh no fuckin shit, like getting rid of all the bullshit lies they tell? You know like 99.999% of their "stories" are lies/have lies in them? Every lying journalist deserves to be unemployed for life with no benefits.
Michael Sanchez

William Powell
Because Sup Forums is now more openly anti semantic than ever, which is impressive.
Colton James

Gavin Allen
journalists who willingly twist reality to trick impressionable minds deserve to be banned from ever being part of the media/information job ever again and perhaps also jailed.
Nathan Torres
They're just pissed off about how Trump isn't kissing their asses like the other candidates
Ryan Bell
it doesnt matter you used the word wrong anyway
Jeremiah Ross
Corrupt media gatekeepers a scared of Trump doing an end around on their bullshit. Good. They should be. Fucking cunts.
Landon Mitchell
Thats probably the least American thing I've ever read. Congratulations.
Asher Walker
>press >freedom
What? Are they implying there is press freedom now?
Jack Rogers
The press get to say all kinds of fun things questioning the darkie, and he never sues no matter how out rageous the lie, but if someone said any of it about the Trump, he'd get the lawyers out. That makes him a bigger pussy than Obama.
Connor Baker
The New York Times is a propaganda organ for foreign drug cartels. It reported on Mexican violence -- by complaining that the Mexican army was using excessive force.
Ryder James
This.
Michael Jenkins
Also if you look at US journalism in Syria and Ukraine and other places, or that CBC reporter who was literally a uniform-wearing soldier in the IDF, journalists have contemptuously thrown away any pretense of objectivity or neutrality. They are government agents who agitate for war. As such, they cannot expect protection.
Matthew Brown
Good. If I were Führer I'd purge the media from top-to-bottom to weed out Marxist subversives.
Jack Perry
good
Ethan Gonzalez
i would vote for him if he did nothing else but take it to the corrupt ass media.

This!
Anthony Smith

>Nobody bothers arguing that he understands these things, >Just want the streets to run with the blood of the (((media))) for daring to insult Herr Trump
What a horrible way to prove me right.
Liam Baker
This.
Luis King
this, Trump should pay people to form a database of journalists who have displayed instances of impartiality, lying, corruption and collusion. Then just ream these "Champions of the first Ammendment" about their behaviour and associates every time try they try to stump him.
kinda like he's already doing but all of them
Austin Taylor

Jeremiah Robinson
Did you see an american flag in that post, my dude?
Daniel Turner
>press freedom
You mean the freedom to lie unconditionally?
It'll be interesting to see which media outlets are actually worried about this.
Jace Diaz
serious damage to the press that supress those who dont fit the agenda? sounds good, lets promote alternative sources of information
Anthony Flores
>THE MEDIA LIES >Zero specific examples of press commiting libel all thread
yawn
Levi Russell
The same group that constantly misrepresent his views and words and slander him daily?
Plus they lie about Hillary and the establishment
Fuck the media they aren't freedom of speech thy are the rhetorical equivelant to tyranny of the majority
Mason Evans
reminder that a major reason ron paul lost over and over again was because of dishonest media
quite the catch 22, no?
Alexander Mitchell

There are literally too many to keep track.
James Rodriguez

What? You mean calling them out on their bullshit? We don't have press in this country. We have stenographers for the Liberal Party.
Elijah Lee

The New York Times: “Trump’s claim that illegal Mexican immigrants are ‘rapists.”
Time Magazine: “Trump’s comment that Mexican immigrants are ‘rapists.’”
Associated Press: “Trump called Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals”
CBS News: “Trump defends calling Mexican immigrants ‘rapists.’”
L.A. Times: “describing Mexican immigrants as ‘rapists.’”
Fortune: “in a speech branding Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists.”

Brandon Gray
Journalists print outright libel and slander >"M-MUH FIRST CONSTITUTION" Peter Thiell helps finance Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker >"M-MUH RIGHT TO HOST PORNOGRAPHY WITHOUT CONSENT BUT WE WOULD TOTALLY TAKE IT DOWN IF HE WAS FUCKING A 4 YEAR OLD (BUT ONLY IF THEY WERE 4 OR YOUNGER)" Obama administration sees the retirement of laws which prevented the Press from printing propaganda >COMRADE OBAMA IS THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER IN FACT ALL PRESIDENTS SHOULD BE BLACK FROM NOW ON BECAUSE WHITEY B RACISS N SSHEEEEIT"
The way I see it, Journalism has already lost all integrity and merely become a propaganda arm of the State, which commands the goyim to play by the rules which the Press no longer plays by.
if you're unable to parse a sentence, he said that some of the illegal immigrants are in fact rapists, which they are
he didn't say that ALL Mexican immigrants are rapists, but that hasn't stopped the media from pretending as if that's what he said.
James Butler
GOOD
FUCK THE PRESS
Austin Cooper
>AND SOME I ASSUME ARE GOOD PEOPLE >Rapists, criminals and drug dealers for sure, have to make assumptions about the good people
No, you learn how to parse a fucking sentence
Anthony Scott
He said some illegal aliens are rapists which is true.
Those headlines and you say he called all mexicans rapists, that's clearly not true and a man should have recourse to get justice for libel.
we all know who the shill is here m8
Caleb Evans
So you deny that rapists, criminals, and drug dealers are coming across the Mexican border? Are you some kind of rape apologist? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Matthew Roberts
it's an objective fact that there are murders, rapists, and drug dealers illegally immigrating. It's a subjective opinion that any illegals are good people
Joshua Baker
So you agree with Don's implication that the rapists are more a certain and common thing coming over than the good people, who we can merely assume will be arriving like, one for ever five drug runners?
Benjamin Miller
So... He did call them rapists after all. Ok, where's the lies by the fucking media then?
Logan Carter
Try that again but coherent this time
Hudson Foster
Since you can't pay attention, we've pointed out that the media has repeatedly pretended that Trump said ALL mexican immigrants were rapists, which he never said
Hudson Bailey
That is the thing. If the presstitutes were genuine muckrakers that would be one thing. They would being doing good, noble work comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable.
Instead, these establishment mouthpieces, these intellectual prostitutes are Lucifer-tier Level Pathological Liars. They are complete sellouts and puppets of the establishment class.
Austin Phillips
Poor journalists, can't slander and purposely lie about people. It's almost like under Trump, they'll have to report *gasp* actual news!
Charles Jones
Jesus Christ you kids are fuckin naive.
Justin Brooks
>t. Increasingly nervous lugenpresse
Mason Green
Funny, I don't see the word all in this at all. He did call Mexicans rapists. This is a fact.
Justin Thompson
Press is cancer
That thing should be censured. I seriouslly believe that the government would be more trustfull than the kike media
Aiden White
he said there were rapists illegally immigrating, that doesn't mean ALL rapists are illegal immigrants
are you retarded or is it merely an act?
Isaiah Carter
That's what Goebbels said as well.
Brandon Peterson
>press freedom >continue to lie >continue to be funded by the Jew
Yeah, no thanks. Fuck the press.
Liam Sanders
No one is saying he said "ALL BEANERS ARE RAPISTS" except you cunts. You have weird ways of proving "the press is lying"
James Walker
Someone post the unedited one.
Nathan Lee
Holy shit, a sane person in my thread! Hi!
Brandon Bennett
I love this edit. We have such a beautiful future ahead of us.
William James
>""""Sane person"""" By same you mean agrees with your ideaology?
Connor Butler
And you deny that there are rapists coming across the border. You are a rape apologist. Meanwhile:
>In Trump’s speech when he announced his candidacy for president, he began by comparing Mexican immigrants to “rapists” and then decided to broaden the scope of his insult to all Latinos.
also handwave Trump's statements, though they do not use the word "all" they do launch into a tired regurgitation of immigrant crime statistics, which implies that they believe that Trump was referring to ALL illegal migrants, hence their need to "disprove" his statement
these two are just examples, the same thing was repeated in many articles that tacitly presumed that Trump was talking about all migrants
Juan Young
The way these headlines are worded implies that Trump think that all Mexican immigrants are rapists you daft cunt. Here's your (((you)))
Austin Wilson
No more like a rape enthusiast.
Carter Baker
(((Media Matters)))
Julian Ross
And you faggots think this rises to the grounds of rewriting all the libel laws, letting the government kill the press, so trump can sue the journalists who reported on him calling some mexicans rapists?
That is sickening.

Leo Smith
Sometimes friend, we must change our beliefs as new information comes to light. You can't expect someone to stay hard nosed on every issue their whole life.
There has to be some acceptable level of opinion change in order to grow as humans and find the right path.
Jacob White
You are not presenting arguments, you are presenting baseless statements to distract from the simple fact that the media needs more accountability. As it stands the media does not serve the people, it serves whoever pays them. If you truly loved freedom then you would understand that, but you serve corporate masters and are happy swallowing the shit they feed you.
It makes sense that you would do that though, because you are a sad degenerate.
Brody James
gimme a break. the left-wing press wants everything to be like europe, where everything is censored.
Jonathan Perry
Of course, they should report on the Truth, and only the Truth.
Carter Roberts
The shit you don't know about American Libel laws could fill books, especially if you think the petty semantics about how many Mexicans Donny called rapists rise to that level.
No wonder he wants to change the laws, he has no real goddamned claims for libel he could actually win on if this is the best you've got.
William Parker

Journalism is a failed industry being propped up by politicians and special interests buying the news. Let it die.

By the power of the free market this outlet will be destroyed, not by the force of government intervention--as these liberal pundits are trying to claim--but by the deposition of the consumers, or we the people who are the "Invisible Hand" which Adam Smith wrote about.
Let the liberal media slander and lie. Let the SJW lefties go on their childish tantrums. It only exposes them for who they really are and helps our cause. So laugh at them and turn them into memes and meme magic will do its job.
