When Even Fox Thinks You Go Too Far

First this.

Cavuto: The president making clear to fact check him is to be all but dead to him

Even Neil Cavuto, over at Fox, sees this man for what and who he is and what he'll do.

So naturally, the Orange One must go on a Twitter spree.

And that line--"Looking for a new outlet..."

Where does he think he is? Some Fascist, banana Republic where the media is supposed to parrot every utterance he makes?

News flash, Mr. President. This isn't a company or business you own and no, we're not some Fascist banana republic so no, we are, let us remind you, the United States of America. We have a national Constitution and always have. Going a step further, that Constitution has a First Amendment in it guaranteeing Freedom of Speech and---wait for it--a FREE PRESS.

Buck up, buttercup.

You are in WAY over your head.

Trump criticizes trio of Fox News anchors

Fox News host goes off on Trump for bashing Chris Wallace

FOX ISN"T BOOTLICKING ENOUGH FOR DONALD TRUMP!

Yes sir, Mr. and Mrs. America, the Fox Network and what they call news is now officially not good enough any longer for this Republican Party President Donald J "The John" Trump. His own words, earlier today on Facebook:

FacebookTwitter

Fox News just doesn’t get what’s happening! They are being fed Democrat talking points, and they play them without hesitation or research. They forgot that Fake News CNN & MSDNC wouldn’t let Fox News participate, even a little bit, in the poor ratings Democrat Debates. Even the Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats laughed at the Fox suggestion. No respect for the people running Fox News. But Fox keeps on plugging to try and become politically correct. They put RINO Paul Ryan on their Board. They hire “debate questions to Crooked Hillary” fraud Donna Brazile (and others who are even worse). Chris Wallace is nastier to Republicans than even Deface the Nation or Sleepy Eyes. The people who are watching Fox News, in record numbers (thank you President Trump), are angry. They want an alternative now. So do I!

That's magnificent!

This President just isn't familiar with our Constitution and Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Thanks, Republicans! 

That's quite the guy you got there!
Quite the guy you foisted on us all, on the nation!

Y'all better check in on him and see if he isn't melting down, however.

For your sake and all of ours.

Missouri, Fairness and Justice in Today's New York Times

Yes, St. Louis County and so, Missouri and fairness and gross unfairness, all in today's, Sunday New York Times.

It's an important, if brief read. A real eye-opener and certainly not limited to just that area.

Policing for Profit in St. Louis County

And not just one article, one op/ed piece but two, originating out of Missouri politics and events lately. Here's the second. Also brief but, I think, again, important:

Beat the Press

Quote of the day---from a very unexpected source

"In a country whose legitimacy is rooted in its people, then there is no fear from free media."

Excuse me?

This story broke today and seems to be all over the internets:

Dan Choi Beaten, Arrested At Moscow Gay Pride Parade

To which I say, excuse me? 

Where did you, Lt. Choi, think you were?

Did someone tell you the rest of the world was like the US, where, for the most part, you have free speech?

If you, Lieutenant, or anyone else thought this wouldn't/couldn't happen, all I can say is, wow.  

Is it right, that he got beaten and arrested?

No, certainly not, not if he were merely marching.

But the entire world isn't all "free speech" and "equality".

Heck, what am I saying?

Even the US isn't all about equality.

We never have been.

This administration looks like the last here

Freedom of the press being a hallmark of our nation, this kind of treatment should be inexcusable and not allowed:

White House shuts out Herald scribe - BostonHerald.com

By Hillary Chabot
Wednesday, May 18, 2011

The White House Press Office has refused to give the Boston Herald full access to President Obama’s Boston fund-raiser today, in e-mails objecting to the newspaper’s front page placement of a Mitt Romney op-ed, saying pool reporters are chosen based on whether they cover the news “fairly.”

This shouldn't be tolerated any longer by the American public, certainly, absolutely and finally.  We saw this kind of treatment from the last administration and we all thought poorly of it.  

We voted this president in, wanting and expecting better in virtually all ways.  This is one of the most important ways in which we expect this president and administration to take a far higher road.

Since President Obama is in the midst of his re-election bid, he shouldn't do this anyway, but granting favor or disfavor to the press by what they write should never be allowed or tolerated again.

It's censorship of some of the worst kind.

Quote of the day--on government and the "delclaration of rights"

"By a declaration of rights, I mean one which shall stipulate freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of commerce against monopolies, trial by juries in all cases, no suspensions of the habeas corpus, no standing armies. These are fetters against doing evil which no honest government should decline." ..........Thomas Jefferson to Alexander Donald, February 7, 1788, Papers, 12:571

As the Beach Boys used to sing:  "Wouldn't it be nice?"

Oh, and Mr. Obama, we really would like that habeas corpus back.

Permanently.


I took this quote, too, from that blog of which I just became aware:  http://www.nocorprule.blogspot.com/

What all media 'round the world should have done, long ago

I said a long time ago, all the media, 'round the world, should run a cartoon of Mohammed on their op/ed page, all on the same day so we can all move past this. Matt Stone and Trey Parker are the only ones, apparently, who have the cajone's to stand up to this neanderthal, 2nd century way of thinking.
