Fox News is State TV

Trump is pressuring them on who to broadcast and they are responding. He has tweeted many times about Fox News, praising shows that will be favorable to him. This is an unprecedented and inappropriate relationship between a network and a president.

The President controls a massive propaganda network that’s allowed to masquerade as the country’s biggest cable news outlet. https://t.co/0sQ7E9LSTz

Trump attacks the Times and the Post. Here’s how to subscribe to them.

I subscribe to both. We need to support journalism.

More on liar Sarah Sanders

They won’t fire her so the networks should ban her and boycott her press conferences.

The @PressSec is quadrupling down on the lies told to the American people by now distancing herself from her claim she *personally* was contacted by FBI employees. Lost on no one is that her comments to Mueller (under penalty of perjury) were different. pic.twitter.com/E2C4gTaKrj

The quote is “She should be let go. She should be fired. End of story. When there is a lack of credibility there, you have to start lopping the heads off.”

Pretending that Ryan was calling for violence is more incitement than anything she said.

I support April Ryan. She does a great job on CNN. Unlike Sanders, she is honest.

Sarah Sanders denies she admitted to Mueller that she lied https://t.co/dOY7gZuX0H
— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) April 19, 2019

She’s a proven liar.

Let’s remember *why* @PressSec lying to the public is relevant: It falsely bolstered Trump’s pretextual reasons for firing Comey, ostensibly because of his performance. Sanders knew that wasn’t the real reason, and her lies were part and parcel of the cover up. https://t.co/JKbYCoAF2t

These appearances now raise complex questions. Henceforth how does press treat Sarah Sanders? Does it rely on her less? Remind listeners/readers/viewers she is a proven dissembler every time we quote her? Or what? https://t.co/XZVlVY205W

What If Fox News Covered Trump the Way It Covered Obama?

A great video on YouTube.

Trump lies about the New York Times

He lies when he says they apologized. He lies when he says they are failing. Sad!

As you can see from the old tweets, he has told these lies before.

Once again, never apologized, never had a reason to, subscribers way up. https://t.co/v2lQ91uqWg

Once again, does he know he’s lying? Probably, right? https://t.co/cn0IgW8m0L

Trump says New York Times apologized to him for its bad coverage & is failing. NYT says they didn't apologize & subscriptions are booming.

This extemporaneous Trump speech, including the usual Thing-That-Didn't-Happen (the NYT didn't apologize for anything) just confirms that we're in a state of political crisis and we're likely to be there for a while.

Trump falsely claims that the @NYTimes "had to apologize because they covered it/us/me, all if it, so badly"

Trump's tweet is a deliberate mischaracterization of a Nov. 13 letter from the @NYTimes to its readers. NYT was not "forced to apologize."

Trump has no shame. He's now demanding that NYT apologize for critizing his mockery of a reporter with a disability: https://t.co/M4XXXTApX7

Trump’s wrong attacks on the Washington Post and New York Times

The Washington Post and New York Times told the truth. Just because Mueller didn’t charge Trump with criminal activity doesn’t mean the articles were wrong. Trump should not attack them. He says ‘no collusion”. I say “no retractions”.

Trump. Jr. doesn’t know much about Pulitzer prizes so he should keep his mouth shut. Sad!

Twitter users are roasting Don Jr. over a deeply misguided tweet about the Pulitzer Prizes. https://t.co/MjpjOcIEYz
— Esquire (@esquire) March 30, 2019

1) They gave the WP a Pulitzer for exposing the Trump Foundation as a corrupt entity. 2) No apostrophe. 3) They actually do give a Pulitzer for fiction. 4) You have the wit and insight of a mold spore. https://t.co/1l97MR9OyV

Pompeo briefed faith-based media

The State Department wouldn’t provide details on the event. They’re taking after Trump since he wouldn’t make information on his meetings with Putin available. This should not be acceptable. Sad!

State dept defending @SecPompeo limiting briefing today to “faith based media” saying they regularly do targeted media and “other engagements are more targeted or designed for topic, region, or audience-specific media.” Can’t recall religion being a test before for journalists
— Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) March 19, 2019

This is absolutely not OK. Cabinet officials are public servants. They work for us. When they speak to reporters on the record everything they say — in its entirety — needs to be released at the earliest appropriate time. That’s proper accountability. That’s what we deserve. https://t.co/OBJht2BaAK
