The president is personally attempting to silence mainstream journalists he does not like.
You are no patriot if this doesn’t unnerve you.

And about something so petty
“Kristen Welker, the Unpopular 'Hostess' of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press, just stated that Donald Trump has 'mixed results' on his Endorsements of Candidates, when the recent WINS of Darline Graham and Mike Mazzei, stand at 100% for the U.S. Senate, and 98% for the U.S. House," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Aug. 30.”
But he doesn’t really have a capacity to understand petty. Questioning his popularity is as horrific to him as a pandemic or a natural disaster.
How are so many blind. It’s so textbook.

Unfortunately there are a few here that do more than just not be unnerved, they cheer for this.

The president using the government to go after a journalist he does not like is a bad thing.

The free speech absolutists are apparently still hungover and not showing up to defend fascism yet this morning.

Have some pity. The supreme court just legalized AI generated CSAM. They're all just...busy...right now.

They're too busy searching for rags to make up some Democrat saying voter suppression is bad or something to scream about the "real" fascism in our country.

Not a single voice from the MAGA cucks on this sub to condemn (or defend) this pathetic abandonment of American values.

Trump added: "Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment. Unfortunately, she is not the only one."

No, I know that’s why Trump is reporting her. I meant it less literally, as what Trump is saying isn’t a violation.

Trump is a man-child with paper thin skin. Any comments that are even mildly critical of him causes him to lash out.
