Trump Strategist Steve Bannon Says Media Should ‘Keep Its Mouth Shut’ - Polidicks

A private news agency being duplicitous shits, as much as I hate that and as much of a privileged position as they have to be telling people the truth/'the truth', is nowhere near as heinous as the government meant to represent the [b]entire fucking country[/b] acting like complete crackheads.

Is it still too early to bring out the Nazi Germany comparitions? 'Cause [I]hooooly [B]shit[/B][/I] almighty, this is fucked up in [B]so[/B] many ways

What the fuck is wrong with these people? I've heard something new about the Trump administration trying to censor the media or do some other shady thing every day since he was elected.

[quote]They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.[/quote] I've yet to figure this out myself.

I'll flame them all I want, they succ.

[QUOTE=archangel125;51731307]Got any proof those allegations are false? The stuff you're accusing CNN of is stuff that Conservative media like Fox and Breitbart have been doing for years.

You can't simply pick the most ridiculous one of the bunch, the one everyone knew was bogus, and claim it's proof of your assertion.\\ Hang on. Wait a second. CNN never even reported this one.

I don't see how anyone can see the Trump administration blatantly trying to silence the media, scientists, and facts in general, only to spread disinformation - sorry, [I]alternative facts[/I] - openly in their press releases and interviews, and not think that there is something deeply, sickeningly, evil about the lot. I don't mean just incompetent or even malicious, I mean genuinely EVIL.

CNN did what any good news outlet is supposed to do, reported that there were accusations, and reported what the Trump campaign said in response to those accusations when contacted for comment. This is biased reporting how? It's up to a court of law to determine the truth. It's up to news media to report the facts. The reason victims of sexual assault often wait before reporting the assault against celebrities such as Trump is because they don't think any action will be taken against someone as rich and powerful as he is. When it's in the public eye, however, it cannot be ignored. And that tape coming out was the chance they'd been waiting for - hearing those words come out of his mouth convinced the public at large that he was capable of doing what they claim he did to them.

look at the bright side the more trump and co fuck up the better chance sane people/democrats/etc. will retain office after they leave trump is poisoning any reputation republicans have left and at this rate they will be treated like nazis eventually by the majority population.

Donald Trump really has no right to be pissed off at the news media. After all, they made him president. Airing his rallies uninterrupted, latching on to every single controversy and covering it to death at the expense of real reporting, propping up Hillary Clinton while disparaging her opponent - the one man who could have actually defeated Trump...

Every. Single. Time. The story was trump. They made him outshine the other primary candidates, and in the politics of today recognition matters more than anything else.

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;51731554]Unfortunately his braindead supporters will eat this shit up and continue to spend all their time complaining about the left.[/QUOTE] most of them are licking the boots of the alternative media which likely won't be affected.

[QUOTE=Seth2492;51731412]I've yet to figure this out myself.[/QUOTE] Trump is a master hypnotist, listens to people he wants to sell to, and went against an uncharismatic person. He tried pulling the same shit when Obama ran but it didn't work cause Obama is charismatic in his own way. Obama also sold hope and change concerning fat cat bankers. So Trump couldn't tap the anger he tapped into now concerning the same issue. Trump is also damn good at manipulating the media.

[QUOTE=Seth2492;51731412]I've yet to figure this out myself.[/QUOTE] Short version: Clinton ignored majority of middle states, and pissed off Sanders supporters stayed in/voted for Johnson, Stein, or Trump. For what reason is to say fuck Clinton and fuck this country.

And so will the people. Hell, didn't Bannon admire or say how Vader, Cheney, and the fucking devil have power and that's why people hated them? Then again, he is probably(?) a sociopath: [url=http://www.businessinsider.com/steve-bannon-donald-trump-satan-darth-vader-2016-11]Business Insider[/url] [QUOTE=Bannon]"Darkness is good," Bannon told the publication. He added: "Dick Cheney, Darth Vader, Satan. That's power. It only helps us when they get it wrong. When they're blind to who we are and what we're doing." [/QUOTE] Damn, and you have people in the administration saying to get the news and info from the President directly because the media can't be trusted. Congress needs to wake up and grow a spine to kick this bastard out of the white house.

Goddamn, these are scary times.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;51731287]He's not entirely wrong. A major news network was feeding shit to Clinton, did some awkward shit regarding Wikileaks(you cant view this its illegal!!!), and gave platforms to false sexual assault accusers. Sounds like opposition to me.[/QUOTE] Putting aside the extenuating circumstances of the first two (both CNN and Brazile deny leaking the questions and the only other source said it "may" have come from his side, it was [I]one reporter[/I] saying that about Wikileaks) and you still have exactly one outlet that constitutes "opposition" which really doesn't justify Bannon throwing the entire press under the bus and telling us that the only way to get the real news is from the White House itself.

Steve Bannon should go back to doing the internet equivalent of getting naked and screaming about lizard people on a street corner.

I can only hope that the media has enough of a spine not to back down.

[QUOTE=Anderan;51732283]I can only hope that the media has enough of a spine not to back down.[/QUOTE] they will have enough of a spine to profit off these controversies and nothing more

After all of the shit in the past few days this is just like "Man gives predictable opinion that nobody asked for." [QUOTE]“I want you to quote this,” Mr. Bannon added. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country..."[/QUOTE] Uh okay n/m this is worse.

He just flat-out called the media the opposition party. I used to think of him as some opportunist, I liked that he organized that meeting with Tulsi Gabbard, I wasn't really convinced that he was a nazi/anti-semite/etc. But this is just blatantly transparent fascist talk coming from the CEO of a media company turned government official. This man is a [I]danger to democracy[/I].
