Trump campaign's Brad Parscale calls media 'criminal network'
The Hill ^ | 07/17/20 05:49 PM EDT | JOE CONCHA

Brad Parscale, who was recently demoted as the campaign manager of President Trump, called the media a "criminal network" and "America's biggest enemy" in a Friday tweet, drawing criticism from journalists on social media.

“The media is a criminal network that has very few honest people,” Parscale tweeted to his more than 735,000 followers. “They have zero intention to tell the truth. I have seen so many live in fear of a negative story. I am happy I get to continue to fight with @realDonaldTrump against America’s biggest enemy, the media!”

I am happy I get to continue to fight with @realDonaldTrump against America’s biggest enemy, the media!

— Brad Parscale (@parscale) July 17, 2020 Parscale was replaced as campaign manager by Bill Stepien on Wednesday as polls continue to show the president trailing Joe Biden nationally and key battleground states. Parscale will stay on as the campaign's digital strategist and will serve as a senior adviser.

Stepien had served as deputy campaign manager before being promoted.

The reaction to Parscale's remarks about the media drew swift reaction from members of the Fourth Estate on social media.

Parscale bragged in this article about how he planned on flooding social media with misinformation, conspiracies and lies about Biden https://t.co/L9f7lQnLc1 https://t.co/Ta119mkmQy

— Pat Bagley (@Patbagley) July 17, 2020 The media -- on all sides -- is made up of humans, who make mistakes. It should be challenged & criticized. But to say the media is "America's biggest enemy"? Bigger than Nazis, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Covid-19, murder hornets, people who drive slowly in the left hand lane? Insane! https://t.co/CwvaMJfYI6

And he is 100% correct. Like it or not the media has completely controlled the narrative on both the BLM and Pandemic. Of course they couldn’t do this without institutionalized corruption within the government and the complacency of much of the population.

No need to do that.

Just tell the truth about Biden and how corrupt and inept and unaccomplished he is, and hopefully, the people will understand that Biden is the complete opposite of what democrats portray him to be.

Telling the truth about Hillary did her in, so, it should work again against Biden and democrats.

it’s worse than that.

the FakeNewsMSM has controlled the narrative every day in the run-up to and following President Trump’s Presidency.

it is sickening.

bury the FakeNewsMSM.

It’s believable to me but let’s see the Trump campaign put out some irrefutable evidence of it. Smack-you-in-the-face evidence.

I made copies of this from an earlier post, had them laminated and glued them to the back of my truck and my suv.

He doesn’t sound too upset about change of his role. He wasn’t fired.. President Trump simply switched players on a hockey line shift.

E. Pluribus Unum :" Brad Parscale,.. called the media a "criminal network" and "America's biggest enemy".."

Obviously an update to the "JournaList", which orchestrates the sound bites for the media.
If what propaganda they contrive is false, why can't the List be prosecuted under RICO / organized crime ?
Propaganda issued under such false pretense shouldn't be protected speech under the 1st Amendment.

It’s not enough to say MSM, media, etc

Disney, ATT, and Comcast must be forced to sell off their respective “news” properties.
