Birther-Trump Explodes And Turns Off The Record Meeting Into A Total 'ON THE RECORD' Disaster
freedom of the press definition. The right to circulate opinions in print without censorship by the government. Americans enjoy freedom of the press under the First Amendment to the Constitution."The members of the networks expected to negotiate presidential press access during their meeting with the President-elect. What they got was a Trump-style temper tantrum where his disrespect for the free press was on full display.
The meeting took place in a big board room and there were about 30 or 40 people, including the big news anchors from all the networks , the source said. Trump kept saying, Were in a room of liars, the deceitful dishonest media who got it all wrong. He addressed everyone in the room calling the media dishonest, deceitful liars. He called out Jeff Zucker by name and said everyone at CNN was a liar, and CNN was network of liars.
The networks set themselves up for this by agreeing to the off the record meeting with Trump. In the last few days, America has gotten a hint about how Donald Trump intends to govern. As President, Trump appears to not tolerate dissent or disagreement, and the free press will never be respected.
Survival, not greatness, may be the goal for the next four years of Donald Trump.

His advisers needs to school him on the First Amendment and the importance of free speech and a free press.

is that the Rs want to alter the Constitution to suit their dominance objectives and then there will be no 1st Amendment as we once knew it, along with other alterations intended to secure the next several despots they have lined up.

a critical role in his most important campaign tactic, helping to sell the Big Lie of Hillary the anti-Christ. In fact, I'd go so far to say that the press had more to do with getting him elected than HE did!
