Donald Trump has suggested he could “take away credentials” of media organisations over negative stories about him.
“The Fake News is working overtime.” the US president tweeted. ”Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake).
“Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?”
The billionaire appeared to be responding to a segment on his favourite cable news show, Fox & Friends, which aired figures collated by Media Research Center (MRC), a right-wing media watchdog.

Trump should be thanking the media, they almost single-handedly gave him the presidency and his base of supporters. If the media didn't rail against him constantly then his supporters would have no basis for calling him an outsider.

This is the kind of action that would happen and does happen in Putin's Russia.
Or any other dictatorship for that matter.

The media wanted a fight and they got one. Sounds like Trump is about to take the gloves off. Maybe if the media didn’t dog us as people just for exercising our right to vote for Trump we’d give them more credit.

Didn't take too long for Putin to be mentioned! When the topic had nothing to do with Putin. Keep it up though, because us thinkers pay attention!

I agree with you first part, but the media was weaponized awhile ago to initiate social changes and work for the government/Multinationals. Hell, it was Obama who made it legal for them to do so.
