What pray tell were his "assaults on democracy?"

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (16 children)

4 years of campaigns to try to limit information, votes, access, trust in the news media, and many other assults

By Twittler, as part of a 40 year tradition by Republicans, whereby Twittler told people on a daily basis not to trust the news media, helped with nominations of court justices who were GOP shills (rather than reasonable judges), reduced regulations on everything across the board, developed mistrust in democratic elections, focused on supporting authoritarian regimes instead of democratically elected governments, did whatever Russian businessmen told him to do, and so much more.

When the media lies, they limit the trust people have in them. It has notting with someone pointing out they lies. It has everything to do with people seeing the lies. Calling wallstreetbet nazi is just dumb. No one believe it. Yes wallstreetbet is stupid, but nazi? Really? The media destroy their own trust factor on a daily basis. Their trust factor have gone downhill since the 1970. It's not trump making the claim. He just pointed out what many already knew.

Yes, we all have problems with the news media, especially after the retirement of the FCC Fairness Doctrine during the Reagan admin (giving rise to Fox News &c). I am not referring to all news media. I am referring to news media at the right side of this:

Twittler referred to the middle group here as fake news, whilst pushiung talking points by the propaganda sites on the right. This has done more to divite the US, because of those disinformation, racist and misleading talking points than almost any other divisive strategy since the early 20th century.

We all know there is no evidence to support those Russia claims, thats first. I think you give very little credit to the public for being able to think for themselves, but as far as I can tell you are spreading rumors and no facts, until you can find something tangible, like, I dunno say something like claiming he was engaged in quid pro quo on video then you should probably just stop

Unless you've been under a rock in Siberia these past 4 years, with no internet, you will have seen plenty of evidence. Also, think of the kind of Hollywood evidence you're requesting. First example of evidence: it's widely known that Russian businessmen paid for Twittler's $400 million Deutsche Bank debt. There are many other examples. Did he return the favor. There are also many examples of this.

You keep saying there are so many examples yet you fail to produce even one to prove your claims. Thats problematic, don't you think?

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

Both of my comments include examples. Both of your comments do not.

[–]1hairlessmonkey 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Your examples are not based in fact

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

I want to mention that examples are not IN facts.

But what's more obvious here is that your responses are juvenile contrarian repetitions of 'no'.

I've provided facts. You've provided nothing.

I am sorry, you have not shown a single fact, you can call me all the names you wish and condescend to me for your own ego if you wish, by the way you are not correct. I'll add I provided nothing because I am not the one making allegations with out a shred of proof, that would be you so I am not exactly clear on what I should provide here

See my original response to your question, specific evidence for whcih is in 4 years of news media and is well known:

By Twittler, as part of a 40 year tradition by Republicans, whereby Twittler told people on a daily basis not to trust the news media, helped with nominations of court justices who were GOP shills (rather than reasonable judges), reduced regulations on everything across the board, developed mistrust in democratic elections, focused on supporting authoritarian regimes instead of democratically elected governments, did whatever Russian businessmen told him to do, and so much more.

Twittler told people on a daily basis not to trust the news media

Is that the same media thats admitting to a coup between news outlets and tech companies today?

There was no coup. (Read the article and comments about it.)
