Democracies risk 'losing souls' as media freedom erodes, group says

[Max E.]

Sure, hold Trump too account thats fine by me, but when its compared to the kiddy glove treatment Obama just got for 8 years dont fault me for pointing out the obvious difference.

The reason everyone lost faith in the media is because it became so blindingly obvious when you compare the press' treatment of the guy the media loved to the guy the media hated, it used to be somewhat rational people could still claim the whole MSM bias was just conservatives bitching, but now the MSM have jumped the shark soooooo hard that even the biggest partisans can see it.

Have you considered the possibility that Trump is well and truly full of shit (yes you have, because you already said so), and that the media doesn't like to be lied to as a matter of course?

And if you do believe he's so full of shit, which you do, then wouldn't you want him to be held to account?

Consider that Trump is arguably a pathological liar. He lies as easily as you breathe; he's an intraday flip-flopper. He's spent over 30% of his time thus far on vacation and played way more golf than Obama (whom he complained about), and has signed more executive orders than any president since WWII, a number of them unconstitutional. And you don't want him to be held to account?

As for how the legitimate media treated Obama, consider it a matter of mutual respect. He didn't get a free ride and he was held to account when it was necessary. With Trump, who has no respect for either the truth or the legitimate media who report it, it's always necessary. "Truthful hyperbole" and all that.

Do you treat a good and decent person the same way that you treat an inveterate asshole? If not, then why would you expect the media to do otherwise?

When Obama came up short, the legitimate media held him to account.

Trump is always coming up short.

Oh, and how would you treat someone who called you "the enemy of the people?"

BULLSHIT! It just depends on who is doing the talking. The never called out Obama on stating he was going to cut the deficit in half which was clearly a lie. They backed him on it.

Much of Trumps negative criticism from the press is a self inflicted wound, i have stated this numerous times. Infact when he regularly attacks places like CNN, i dont find the response to be all that unreasonable, however, lets not play games and say they are getting an equal treatment here,

Funny how the media in Canada doesnt attack Trudeau with any where near the veracity, when both of them are equally cartoonish figures.

In fiscal 2008, the federal budget deficit was $458.6 billion, but the CBO issued a projection in January 2009, just days before Obama took office that the budget deficit would reach $1.2 trillion that year, before the cost of any new stimulus plan or other legislation was taken into account.In 2009, the annual federal deficit hit $1.4 trillion. In fiscal 2015, the deficit was $438 billion.

You were saying?

Of course he's not getting equal treatment by the legitimate media; he's not an equal president. He's getting fair treatment.

LOL, so is Trudeau getting the "fair" treatment? The guy is literally Zoolander, but the media treats him like hes some kind of canadian hero.

Again. Total BULLSHIT. Unless your definition of "legitimate media" is hardcore left-wing biased media, then I agree. It is completely shocking that you are incapable of seeing the truth and that is that the "legitimate media" is a political propaganda machine for everything libtard.

I mean it is so easy to see. All you have to do is turn on any show on MSM right now and watch it.

I thought we were talking about Trump.

 

[Max E.]

Its the same thing, Liberal media in canada treats Trudeau and Obama like a god, liberal media in the states treats Harper, or Trump like they are the reincarnation of satan, every single word and action has an evil agenda if you listen to them.
