If there’s one thing we know for sure when it comes to President Trump, it’s that he is not a fan of the media.
In fact, he’s quite adversarial when it comes to press. Through his Twitter account @realDonaldTrump, the President of the United States has been taking aim at specific media outlets and encouraging his followers to call out “fake news”.
But do his constant accusations of “fake news” and his dressing down of the media mean a lot more than we think?Are they more than something that we can simply laugh off?
In a recent tweet, outspoken US Senator Bernie Sanders compared Trump's interactions with the media to totalitarianism.
In Trump's view people should ignore all the news except what comes directly from him. That is what totalitarianism is all about.

The article was about the media. The facts are that the US media is owned by just six corporations. It has become close to a monopoly.

From the article. "Back in 1983, approximately 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the United States. Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations. These corporate behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day. "
This is not good for democracy. There is room for more media players with diverse views. I for one do not believe what the media tells us. All you have to do is look at the rubbish that comes out of the ABC for starters.
Donald Trump is the biggest threat to national security that the US has ever had - why, because he is a to threat to democracy & freedom of speech from inside the Whitehouse.
He has already proven that he a persistent liar and has tried to discredit both the judiciary and the press if they don't do what he wants.
The USA has become an undemocratic, riot torn nation of idiots led by a dishonest media who through false news and dishonest reporting are hell bent and determined to undermine and destroy the duly elected President of the United States of America and bring chaos to the world though anarchy. And now the Spooks are joining the cause. Now try to tell me how I am wrong.
