Agreed... denigrates, absolutely, but so far hasn't censored or shuttered or otherwise damaged their First Amendment rights, so could be much worse.

I do remember some reporters kicked out of events, so I wouldn't say that there has been no damage to the First Amendment.

There is no reason to censor or damage the rights of the "Free" Press. The denigration is well deserved by an estate that spends 91% of it's time bashing the Administration (not my figures, composite of polls).

[edit] Silence, is also protected under the 1st Amendment.......

The People know where the truth lies and where the Lies lie. Facts speak for themselves and it's becoming very apparent the results are being reflected in the approval ratings. He pulled the rug out from under Kim and Xi by instantly accepting the invitation to talk. Now Kim reportedly is willing to accept giving up Nuclear ambitions after a 'fatherly' talk with Xi.

And he bloodied Putin's nose more than any other country by expelling 60 spies (diplomats.........what a crock), and closing the spy shop in Washington State. So much for those calling him a Putin Puppet.

I find it interesting that Mexico did not expel a single Russian......

Stockholm syndrome

Stockholm syndrome

Hehe:) Sweden again.

Sweden has become a symbol and a bat in the domestic political debate in the United States, both among left and right sympathizers.
The left describes Sweden as a pioneer country, an example of social democracy that works and with strong family policy and healthcare.
In immigration-critical circles, Sweden is described as a country in decline.
Seven percent of the United States population is strongly negative to Sweden, according to a survey conducted by the Swedish Institute.
"They are not so many, but they are good at strengthening their message so it sometimes seems like they are 20 to 30 percent of the population," says James Pamment

The denigration is well deserved by an estate that spends 91% of it's time bashing the Administration (not my figures, composite of polls).

Eye where did you get that factiod, Faux News, Cambridge Analytics, Alan Jones of pizzagate fame, Rush Limbough or some other renowned source?

Only 91%? They are supposed to do it 100% of the time, that is their job, to keep the swamp in check. The people who fail to understand this cause the swamp to fill at an alarming rate.

betreger,

Yes, I agree that the press USED to do that important function. But I disagree with your use of the word 'denigrates' in the next sentence. Denigrates => 'unfairly criticize'.

The problem is that the 'press' is highly biased nowadays.

Fox is highly biased in favor of the Republicans.

Most of the rest are biased in favor of the Democrats (some such as MSNBC highly so).

It is not that 'Trump' or some members of the 'right' have ruined the press... The press has ruined itself with its very obvious biases.

What the press needs to do is stop making excuses for Government officials (elected and appointed), and start going after ALL of them.

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.

Major, so you think Trump is fair?

The 'press' is biased in all countries. More or less.
Some countries bias the news about the government.
Some countries bias the news to get a better rating.
That biasing should be more today?
I don't buy that.

But I disagree with your use of the word 'denigrates' in the next sentence. Denigrates => 'unfairly criticize'.

I think it is fair for ANYONE to criticize the news media. Trump included. Other than that... He is fair on some things, and unfair on others. Just like everyone else (you and me both included).
