  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  What he is doing now is in the same Arena as dictators have throughout the world in recent history.

  I wonder who you could have been talking about... hmmmmmmm

  At the end of the day, I can't believe Trump complaining about news sources he doesn't like is worth crossing the street to nazi germany destruction of America. Although the MSM might try to have me believe otherwise... my mind is my own, and I entertain ideas of less outraged sound people. Comparing everything to Nazi germany is trendy, that doesn't make it reality

  This system has been eroded for decades by both sides of the aisle

  If you had actually read anything I have ever said on here thats exactly what I have been saying. I even reference the Iraq war as the biggest f-ckery damage by the MSM becoming more the news reporting, but an arm of government.

  I feel like the media right now is Chicken Little running around screaming "the sky is falling".

  Exactly. It's absurd.

  My favorite was that blithering idiot f-ck trumpet Chris Cuomo (of CNN... self proclaimed “The Most Trusted Name in News), saying being called "fake news" was "like an ethnic disparagement" for journalists. Seriously? Put on your big boy pants Chris. *triggered* You are giving the orange one exactly what he wants, you crying like a baby lol.

  He's not a dictator though. Look at the travel restriction and how it got shut down. You think he is just going to fli a switch on the media?

  Some would say the BS with the democrats and MSM is also dictatorish and fascist ala hitler, these ideas are thrown out way too much. America is NOT like nazi germany.

  and this

  The leader of the free world calling the media the enemy of the American people

  This has been becoming the general consensus of the people over the last several decades, MSM is dying and it's not because trump has been in office for a few weeks. People distrust the ignorant MSM. The internet is far more varied and powerful now. But they still have their platform.

  When I watch a CNN so blatantly and disgustingly race bait, I do believe they are an enemy of the people. That is not news, its political agenda propaganda.

  And I see it as everyone saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so the media and trump are at war, they feel the need to side with the media for some reason and step off of center. I find that comical. Mainstream media political collusion was involved in the biggest foreign policy f-ck up of our generation, attacking Iraq for WMD. Well now, suddenly, because it's at odds with Trump the media is holy sacred.

  I see complaining about that to pissing in the wind.

  if the shoe was on the other foot, and it was Hillary confronting the media would you feel the same? this is what I am talking about, everyone is so caught up in their rage for Trump they will step out of the center rationality and take a side as long as it opposes him. Wasn't it Obama who even coined the phrase "fake news"? I am neither Democrat or Republican but the hypocrisy of both amuses me.

  The astonishing reality is that the mainstream media often leaves the public more ignorant and confused than if they ignored them altogether. This is in fact what polling by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s Public Mind Poll

  http://publicmind.fdu.edu/2012/confirmed/final.pdf

  “We expect that watching the news should help people learn, but the most popular of the national media sources – Fox, CNN, MSNBC – seem to be the least informative.”

  its fine to be profit driven

  Trump isn't censoring news, if he starts broadcasting this own news station and shuts the others down we should be worried. But as much as the "sky is falling" set wants to believe that, its not going to happen. I get everyone is outraged but don't let that undermine your rationality.

  When the CNN and DNC colluded, it's not about CNN making a profit or not, it's about fixing the system.

  Freedom of speech means you can have any kind of extreme news you want, but it also means anyone can also call them whacky, which most deserve.

  This circus of Trump vs. the MSMedia, is showing how quickly they will take the bait and sink to his level.

  Mainstream media is in trouble anyway, it's literally falling apart because of the internet. Its such an establishment it appears so large an powerful, yet its lost its audience. Except for those looking for an echo chamber

  And I am not defending Trump behavior or delivery, but I still feel its not worth the overreaction, and going down the same old path that he is Hitler and America is becoming Nazi Germany, that is absurd at best. But I will also not come to the defense of the MSM shit show like its some sort of moral beacon of truth. its just not lol

  MSM has no diversity of voice, the internet does, its has no gatekeeper, and that is why MSM is dying off

  Trump aside, I don't think the question of the media's integrity is isolated to Trump. It's just the fact that he is saying loudly now the news is corrupt many people are changing their tune simply because it's the anti-trump thing to do. To me this quote said it all.

  CBS president Les Moonves said recently that spending so much time covering Republican candidate Donald Trump "may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS."

  https://www.facebook.com/prageru/videos/1182232715152916/?hc_ref=newsfeedcan islam be reformed though?could it, for example, be accepted eventually that only the quran, and only the nice parts of it, need to be followed?how did judaism - the non- orthodox kind - become one of the most progressive and open of religions, considering their holy text is so violent?maybe that should be studied?.

  The Jihadist element to Islam is unique, all religions are not created equal, and Islam is the worst. Those who try to disarm it to become more like Christianity and so on, are labeled extremists and racists. Until that changes and adherents aren't regarded as some sort of vulnerable oppressed group, but individuals accepting an ideology, nothing will change.

  Another victim of the SPLC Maajid Nawaz, a British activist, author, columnist, radio host and politician. He was the Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for London's Hampstead and Kilburn constituency in the 2015 general election. He is also the founding chairman of Quilliam, a counter-extremism think tank that seeks to challenge the narratives of Islamist extremists. THE SPLC HAS LABELED HIM AN ANTI-ISLAM EXTREMIST.

  As Exjws this should be of interest to all of you and your freedoms. By merely trying to reform a RELIGION you could be labeled as a Hate-group participant.

  I don't think Trump's position is News in general is all fake.

  Like any politician obviously they prefer news that favors them, that's nothing new with Trump

  I think Obama was justified to criticize Fox for its radical right slant and constant barrage against him personally

  I think Trump is justified to feel this way about sensational left news

  I do believe he is expressing most people's feelings that MAINSTREAM media is about as honest as politicians

  I have two eyes and ears and to me most of the noisiest, mainstream, news is far left leaning in its nature, and does not present news, but takes a position of outrage from a political perspective along party lines. I don't consider this a mark of true progressiveness

  I think Trump is actually trolling the MSM's propensity to trigger outrage.

  This dishonesty and collusion of media goes back well before Trump

  It's not that the media has gotten too powerful, it's that government has gotten too big, and there is no question many major highly visible MSM forums are nothing more than propaganda machines for one party or the other

  Leftist mainstream journals dominate the airs waves, and news feeds (google, facebook, youtube) however, they are not that strong among the population. Contrary o their highly visible presence through internet and TV platforms, many are suffering.

  News should be reported and if it outrages the people that is one thing, the news should not be an instrument of constructing the outrage. The truth and information should speak for itself not have a cheerleader telling you how this should make you outraged. Just like his call to unification of 2nd amendment advocates was positioned to be an assassination suggestion against Hillary, that is not reporting news, that is making shit up.

  The news SHOULD hold politicians in check

  This should be done bipartisanly, that is NOT happening

  The media is trying to look like the good guys and that they are exposing every trump evil they can find, but it's too little too late. They are already understood to be dishonest.

  In 2016 trust in mainstream media hit an all-time low, despite that fact, everyone that simply hates trump, suddenly trusts the media????

  Mainstream media has become a circus because they are now a money machine that must be fueled.

  CBS president Les Moonves said recently that spending so much time covering Republican candidate Donald Trump "may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS."

  Is it any surprise that people would lose trust in a media entity with that kind of motivation?

  Facebook plays a bigger role in the news industry than any single entity has ever played in the history of modern information consumption. More than 1.5 billion people use the network, and large numbers get their news there. When the imigiration check points news broke (fake news) it was through social media, you can't say this doesn't count anymore if Facebook exceeds news networks by a million miles in 'news'.

  Do we trust those news sources that tell the truth, or do we trust the ones that tell us what we want to hear or believe?

  Our media is suppose to have no gatekeeper for good or bad! However, MSM has become a sort of gatekeeper, undeniably. However they are losing this grip to indepenedent sources spread all over the internet, still they dominate the airwaves.
  

  Everyone is saying the MSM is just reporting on Trump, but there is a hyperfocus on every breath he or even his daughter or wife take.

  Here is a not fake news flash, the distrust of media goes back at least 10 years before Trump.
