   The main stream news media has 'selectively 'covered the truths , integrity and honesty in their representation of the elections  and all Media matters in the last twenty years  , Maybe its time Trump shut down selective media outlets .
   You know ? Black them out electronically .
   
   The blacking outs of truth  works for the media  - why not for us ?

         Morning Tess ,  Tell me something , Which is actually worse - Fake News  or actual Censorship  ?
         
         Isn't fake news  actually MORE  or at least , AS dangerous  as censorship ?  It really has nothing to do with small hands or the general left's small minded insults .  Try ,if you will,  to be serious about  media integrity .    Is fake news of the mainstream media okay as long as it generally serves the agenda of the left ?
         This might require a little intellectual insight .

               For one thing most of the USA  media now practices fake news , including Fox  . Although the  entities of the left hold all rights and patents at phony sensationalism .
               Yes , as a matter of fact , most of the anti-trump media is fake  and if it isn't fake its darned near so.
               
               Mainstream News Media in America has  swung far left ,They all hate Trump ,  sure you can find a couple of  channels that go "right "  like Fox but the vast majority . CNN, MSNBC, ABC ,  All the daily  talk shows ,  , all the city "rag"  newspapers ,  Name one that's all Trump supportive and I guarantee , that's about all you'll find is one .
               
               Take a look at the net ,  Google , AOL,  any of the "news sights , Facebook ,  Apple  , the flavoring is all left and definitely anti- whatever Trump has to offer. That  slant doesn't  make the mainstream  media more "Open ", that does however make them sensationalist  and extremely biased .    I'm not for censuring the media - but I am for pointing out Bias where Bias lives and it doesn't just live it in American media  IT THRIVES .

                     Tess, I agree with you except on one point. Professional journalists don't see liberal news as more accurate than conservative news. Both are biased and both pander to their audiences. I'm not being critical. I'm just explaining how the system works.

                     Thank you ! You just contributed greatly to the general fakeness !  I actually don't mind traditional  liberal ideology , I actually agree with some of  the modern  idea's ,    However  the New Left , Alt -left  , has taken over the media .  That I despise and happily label Fake .

                        It is genuinely scary how quickly you went from being a Trump detractor to a loyal supporter of fascism.  Textbook case, you are.

      Can't do it. It is against the Constitution. The best way to counter a dishonest press is sunshine. Let the people decide. They need to be informed and selective as a consumer of news.
      The "fake news" sites will become irelevant by their own doing, as it should.

               Anything that abides by the Constitution, supports democracy and favors a free and open society is a great answer whether it is birdsong or not.
               
               It's too bad some people can't distinguish between honest and dishonest media.

      Mein Fuhrer, censorship will NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT be tolerated. Only the feeble minded could allow themselves to be swayed in this direction by Trump

         Why not?  They've already let themselves be swayed by leftwing "alternative facts", spun, half true "reporting" and stories with only half the facts.  Why not by Trump as well - surely the feeble minded are fair in such things, and will wish to give Trump the same opportunity the libs have had!

            Is insanity all about? DAmn the rightwinger. The only thing that they want is a press corps that fawns and kisses Trump's A$$, can't you see that? What can't the people be allowed to discern for themselves what the truth is among amongst freely disseminated information?
            
            Folks thinking like you, it is just beginning of cozying up to fascist attitudes. I am suprized that you would stoop this low, it is no wonder any protest based on dissent is a threat for you. Censor the opposing side solves all the problems, doesn't it? But I guarantee you that this sort of thing is not going to happen without a fight, A BIG ONE.
            
            Perhaps  another protest or demonstration is in order to make sure that is clear?

            Trump himself can't deny what he says on camera, Twitter and microphones. It is all public record.
            
            His attacks on judges, women, minorities and disabled people are all there for us to see.

   Wow, gone for three months and come back to see the weak already capitulating to the fascist mind games.  Really?  You call yourselves patriots?  Disgusting.

   The compliance of people like you is how Hitler took hold.  I would expect it of the ill-educated and the weak of character.  Unfortunately, history and psychology have both demonstrated that even those we consider to be good people can be convinced to bow to fascism.  I bet ahorseback thinks he thought of this fascist idea all on his own.  Truth is, the alt-right has been priming his angry, scaredy-cat brain for years now.  And wilderness, jumping right on board.  That comes from the confidence of being in the "in" group, the one who won't be stifled or put down.
   
   Disgusting.
