What a bunch of trash, from Pravda on the Hudson.

During Obama’s term, the LameStreamMedia gleefully censored themselves, and not out of fear of being attacked by Obama and his press team, but to willingly serve them, to get the story out to best serve Obama.

Now, Trump, quite aware of that, knows the media is now operating as the virtual state media for the shadow government of the former president whom they served so well.

He has to acknowledge that and treat them accordingly.

Today’s fake news: criticism of the media is really censorship and we are being oppressed.

God created Karma. That verse is all about it.

The censorship started once the media decided to become political players, which goes back at least 100 years.

It was self-censorship, but when it’s all in one direction, what is the difference?

A separate thread here pointed to 4 suspicious deaths of people IN 6 WEEKS (last summer) with very close associations with the Democrat leadership...but did the media have any interest in these deaths? Do I need to answer that question?
