Trump is proposing a government run tv network to counter CNN. I wonder why he always goes after CNN when MSNBC is much more liberal. I think it is because independents know that MSNBC is very liberal but that CNN is fairly neutral. As a result the criticism of Trump from CNN is more believable to independents. So Trump attacks CNN because he thinks that CNN would cost him independent voters. Never mind he is losing independent voters on his own!
He claims a state run channel will make the U.S. look great. I guess it will make the U.S. look great to the rest of the world just like the Russian run state tv and the Chinese run state tv make those countries look great! There are reasons why those tv channels are not believed by the rest of the world: they are the mouthpieces of dictators! So does Trump want to make us a dictatorship? Actually, I think so. Some think that FOX News is already Trump's state run tv!
So if there is a state tv now, what would some recent headlines look like?
"Ukraine is threatening Russia" "Saudi journalist killed by enemies of the Crown Prince" "There is no such thing as climate change--concluded by administration report" "The CIA has concluded that North Korea has given up on its nuclear project" "The meddling of the 2016 election was done by a 400 lb guy sitting in his mother's basement" "GM is hiring another 14,000 workers"

I laughed when POTUS proposed a state run news network. He sounds desperate to make sure he can control his agenda. This is never a good idea. And yes, Fox seems to already be the Trump News Network. I think he goes after CNN because of Ted Turner. And CNN has not backed down from him. I read that they did a fact checker concurrent with a previous press conference with Ms. Sanders. So it looks like the gloves are off and for at least the next two years, we'll see a lot more of this back and forth. The only question is if CNN offices will get more threats from Trump supporters.
ReplyDeleteIvanka Trump is supposed to have an interview on ABC tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see how she handles it. She's a lot more polished than her dad, but she hasn't been grilled as much either.
