The enemy of the people is not the free press, but rather those terrified by how the free press shines the light of truth that scatters the cockroaches that are too slow to escape its glowing revelations. Only the blind fail to be illuminated by the light.
Adolf Hitler condemned his Lügenpresse. Comrade TRUMPski’s hero Vladimir Putin simply murders journalists who get too close to the truth. Richard Nixon, the most corrupt president prior to Comrade TRUMPski, also put the press on his “enemies list.” Other presidents often squirmed under press scrutiny, yet defended the press and stood up for it.
@JLocke – you had a typo. Somehow you kept typing “leftist” when you meant “rightist.”
Analyses of the media in the US make it very clear that the majority of Americans are getting RIGHTWING opinion in the place of news. Specifically, FoxNews. FoxNews has itself admitted that only a couple of hours a day are actual news, and the rest is opinion, despite the name of the network.
Furthermore, research into the personalities and practices of people who self-describe as liberal versus conservative make it clear that liberals are far more open to diverse perspectives than conservatives. One of the “Big Five” factors of personality is Openness to Experience (as opposed to Consistent/Cautious), and liberals average significantly more open than conservatives. By definition, liberals are likely to take in more views, and therefore be better informed than conservatives. (I’m a personality psychologist myself, and not surprised by this, but I get the journals.)
So your insulting assertion that somehow liberals are in a bubble is categorically incorrect based on …facts you don’t accept into your bubble. Hm.
jlocke said, “…most universities are flagrantly left wing….”
Wait, what? Are you telling us that the Liberal Arts are being taught by Liberals? That’s outrageous. We need some Conservative lecturers to lecture in the Liberal Arts too. (Unfortunately, there are no such topics as Conservative Arts.)
Next, you’ll be telling us that us that carpentry classes are taught by carpenters. We need to demand that some plumbers get hired to do that as well.
First Child Detained by Trump Reportedly dies due to ‘Possible Negligence’
Update 3:33pm Eastern: HillReporter has just learned, via the Washington Post, that the The American Immigration Lawyers Association has confirmed that a child did in fact die shortly after being released from the ICE detention center in Dilley, Texas. This is what AILA had to say:
“AILA has learned that a toddler died soon after release from the Dilley South Texas Family Residential Center,” Gregory Z. Chen, director of government relations for the 15,000-member association, said in a statement. “We do not have information on the cause of death or information that confirms a connection between medical treatment at STFRC and this death.”

The United States has always been a champion in the struggles against tyranny and oppression.
We won the Revolutionary War against an unjust, above-the-law monarchy.
We won the Civil War against racist slavery.
We won WW2 against the hateful Nazis.
We won the Cold War against Communist Russia.
And now we have an administration that’s trying as hard as it can to unilaterally surrender in all of them.

This country was founded on a free press,
Trump takes money from Russia and calls our free press the enemy.
Does that not make Trump the enemy of America?
