Who the fuck needs a free press?
Acosta challenging Sanders wasn’t the example I used. Can you focus, please? I like you, Brian. But, you’re borderline hysterical like, 95% of the time.
No, do not confuse passion for facts, and standing up to bullies as being the same as being a bully.
Trump is hysterical. Trump is the bully. Me saying "fuck you" to the bully does not make me the same.
If you must know, I have thanked Sheppard Smith for going against his own network. Not enough, but he has. And when the CNN reporter was kicked out of the press pool this week, even the Fox reporters defend her.
What I am talking about in reality is that even our so called and falsely labeled "liberal media" is still ultimately owned by economic conservatives.
I don't care what the business is, and I include network and cable news. The CEOs are like any other industry, their job is to attract advertisers and shareholders to get the entity to grow.
My challenge is ALSO to CNN and MSNBC and ABC AND NBC AND CBS and not just Fox.
Not the journalists themselves, other than the challenge to put facts before the profits of the company. I do still side with CNN and MSNBC and ABC and NBC and CBS, as far as their staff. I am still questioning the conservative CEOs regardless.
Trump isn't saying "fake news" to point out corporate media strive for the buck. He is doing it to challenge any power to his position.
