Dear Guest:
Please explain in what shape, form, manner this President has silenced the press ( news media)?
What percentage of the American population do you believe find the press (news media) to be honest, competent, fair and balanced?
Would you suggest that the press ( news media) has a right to silence a president?
Would you suggest that a president, or anyone for that matter does not have the right to equal opportunity to present their side of a story?
Do you support Facebook's and Twitter's practice of intentionally burying conservative speak and promoting only progressives responses?
Do you believe the press (news media) has been espousing ethical journalism and living up to their responsibility of being America's watchdog?
Do you suppose it might be un-American and lean toward communistic dictatorship to have the press (news media) create fake news, deceive, ignore truths, spin in favor of those with whom ideology they share?
If this is what you mean by your original post, then I opine that you are either uninformed, under-informed, suffering from confirmation bias or you despise the present Administration so much that you would accept a dishonorable, dishonest and biased press ( news media). And that is as un-American as it can get.
Personal Best Regards:
