Here.

“It’s not every day that a U.S. president calls journalists ‘among the most dishonest human beings on earth’ or that his chief strategist dubs the media ‘the opposition party’,” Reuters Editor-in-Chief Steve Adler wrote in a message to staff on Tuesday. “It’s hardly surprising that the air is thick with questions and theories about how to cover the new Administration.”

He cited the organization’s work in “Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Thailand, China, Zimbabwe, and Russia” as an example of how to report on the Trump administration.

Adler said that reporters could use experience learned in “nations in which we sometimes encounter some combination of censorship, legal prosecution, visa denials, and even physical threats to our journalists.”

Among other advice, the news agency pointed out that reporters should “[g]ive up on hand-outs and worry less about official access.”
 
If he were an actual authoritarian regime they wouldn't have to issue that order. ;)
 
Trump is authoritarian-lite.

For now.

How?

So far all he's done in the dictator department is disagree with mainstream Social Justice Democrat dogma...

That doesn't make him an authoritarian dictator, a fascist, Nazi or any of the other totally unhinged from reality labels you and the fringe left keep trying to stick to him.

You and Salon are the exact mirror opposite Vetteman and American Thinker 2008 talking about Jo Stalin Obama and his Kenyan Commie death squads.
 
. . . treat journalists like the enemy.

He's treated asshole journalist like assholes and been quite kind to the rest.

That's called naturally occurring consequences of being an asshole, not a dictatorship.
 
Kind of how lawyers say in movies... 'permission to treat the witness as hostile'.

They've been nice to those who don't call them out on their lies.

They've been utterly hostile to anyone who has called them out on their lies or doesn't support their agenda.

They want propaganda, not news organizations to cover them.

Which is probably fine with you.
 
More recently the Clintons.

LOL it's ok when (D)'s do it. ;)

Other way 'round. The CNN journalists ain't assholes and the Fox "journalists" are.

It wasn't a FOX journalist that got belligerent with Trump and disruptive at a press conference....

It was a CNN journalist and he got shit talked and shut down for acting like a total asshole.

That doesn't make Trump a dictator.



I'm going to help you out KO!!!



Definition of dictator
1
a : a person granted absolute emergency power; especially, history : one appointed by the senate (see senate 1a) of ancient Rome
b : one holding complete autocratic control : a person with unlimited governmental power
c : one ruling in an absolute (see absolute 2) and often oppressive way <fascist dictators>

Notice, nowhere in that definition is there anything about trash talking a belligerent asshole reporter and the news organization they represent.

That applies so deeply all around, who exactly are you talking about??


Which is probably fine with you.

It's all propaganda as far as I'm concerned.

So I don't really give a shit.
 
Then why do you post?

I need to have absolute faith in a media outlet in order to post?

LMFAO.....

I post because I enjoy the interaction.

Not because I take Salon's word like it came directly from the mouth of god himself or have a desire to push my teams flavor of hysteria .


If you don't remember 2008 I thoroughly enjoyed trashing vette and all the other "STALIN~!! KENYAN COMMIE DEATH SQUAD!!" idiots too.

Fuckin' Ish STILL has me on iggy LOL

Did you think I was just going to sit by and not enjoy another round of totally unfounded, completely unhinged from reality, partisan hysteria temper tantrum just because it is coming from the fringe left this time?? :)

Your previous post said US children not citizens. US citizens operating with terrorists are IMO legit targets. And yes non-combatants including women and children are killed. Extremely regrettable but I'm sure carpet bombing of training camps in Pakistan's tribal regions by B-52s would kill far more women and children.

Do you think that terrorists who hold US citizenship should be spared a Hellfire up the ass?

Look more. Obama took out a 16 y/o.

Not a fucking peep from his worshipers.

Fair.

I don't think it's regrettable. I think taking out terrorist and leaving their friends/family/support networks there to rally behind them is fucking stupid.

We should wipe towns/cities off the map until these people decide to either behave and start policing each other, or they are no longer around to pose a threat.

If we aren't ready to kill EVERYONE, then we need to just stay the fuck home because it's apparently not that serious.

The Constitution says US citizens have a right to a trial. So yes.

I don't think Obama deciding "fuck that shit, I'm gonna do the PATRIOT act right!! Bombs away bitches!!" is good enough to just shit can civil rights.

You want to take peoples 4A rights away, there needs to be a convention and it needs to be done in a proper, civilized manner, through and in accordance with the law.
 
Fox News is owned by the Dirty Digger (Rupert Murdoch) whose empire is proven to have illegally hacked phones ,bribed public officials and lie .
This means anything they broadcast is suspect .

NBC is owned by Comcast. ABC is owned by Disney. Have these folks ever lied to you?

You will probably say yes but not as bad as Fox.
