The political communications professor at George Washington University worries about the bigger implications of a weakened press corps giving way to a "quasi-state-controlled apparatus" in the U.S.
"If Trump effectively shuts down the White House press corps, and only provides interviews to some amalgamation of Breitbart.com and Fox News," he says, "there's a very real risk that within six months to a year we're going to have something that looks like [state-controlled] Russia Today and [former Soviet newspaper] Pravda."
Throughout the campaign Trump has owned the ‘Medias’ ass and in doing so undermined it in ways in that I think undermine democracy. You can’t trust the media but you can trust my media.
Trump is able to use nasty language however if the media reports on the nasty language is it they we are being mean so biased against him.
Trump and his followers can revel in not being politically correct but when address Trump and his followers you must use politically correct language and not offend them. They are not being nasty you are
The word bias now means any reporting/facts that does not support the ‘facts’ I already ‘know’ is biased.
To me this is scary stuff.
How do you dialog with a man and hold him accountable when he gets to say whatever he wants, in any manner he wants while you must still play by ‘rules’ soon to be his rules. Why are so many people ok with this?
Is this a legitimate danger?
