    That's a policy I've consistently condemned; but it has nothing to do with what Trump has done. Neither has Obama been accused of pressuring the media in private meetings, nor has Trump been accused of conducting a secretive administration.

    When you're using the DOJ to go after whistle-blowers and journalists, do you really need to do it in private meetings?

    I swear some people act like history began November 9th.

    Only if you can't abide public criticism for the former.

    That's a tricky way to put it, considering previous November 9ths and Trump's darker political leanings.

    What darker political leanings?

    He didn't go after the press in secret like Obama does, with late-night phone calls placed to editors and owners. He lambasted the journalists and their owners to their faces in a big room full of journalists and media owners!

    I'm pretty sure the fucking media found out about that, somehow. Oh, because they were there, in their enemy's den, at his invitation.

    This is the same media that was constantly talking about emails for the past six months?

    The media would occasionally mention e-mails, but only mentioned what was in them a few brief times, such as when it came out that Donna Brazile had fed Hillary answers (which died in about one news cycle). Most of their mentions were things like "discredited e-mails" and other such nonsense. They didn't even fact check Democrat claims that the e-mails had been altered, which was absolutely trivial to refute.

    You got that right! Let the free market sort it out. Everyone who trusted the popular left leaning media (who said Clinton is the divine avenging angel and Trump is satan/Hitler) got anally fucked balls-deep. If they didn't learn from that, no government intervention will help them.
