President Donald Trump said Wednesday on Twitter that 'fake news' outlets, including TV networks he loves to hate, are 'our country's biggest enemy.'
Trump had hours earlier returned from Singapore, where he began to negotiate a nuclear stand-down with North Korea, a belligerent communist dictatorship.
He praised the despotic Kim Jong-un and said North Korea 'has great potential for the future.' Not so for the political press corps.
'So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN,' Trump tweeted of the two networks he sees as most needlessly antagonistic toward his administration. 'They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea.'
'500 days ago they would have ābeggedā for this deal ā looked like war would break out. Our Countryās biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!'

I have been saying for over a year that the liberal fake news media is a danger to America. They are domestic terrorists masquerading as media people.
When are you going to do something to stop or punish them president Trump? You have the entire power of the government available to put the screws to them in ways they cannot even imagine.

Under Mr. Obama, the Justice Department and the F.B.I. have spied on reporters by monitoring their phone records, labeled one journalist an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case for simply doing reporting and issued subpoenas to other reporters to try to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases.
And, in fairness to Trump, his administration has not escalated the conflict with the press to a new level. It has not yet come close to doing what President Obama's administration did in making the act of reporting itself criminal behavior in a case that started in 2009 under the Espionage Act of 1917.

This sounds awfully authoritarian.

PropagandaĀ is information that is notĀ objectiveĀ and is used primarily toĀ influenceĀ an audience and further anĀ agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or usingĀ loaded languageĀ to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented.
Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels.
The propagandist seeks to change the way people understand an issue or situation for the purpose of changing their actions and expectations in ways that are desirable to the interest group. Propaganda, in this sense, serves as a corollary to censorship in which the same purpose is achieved, not by filling people's minds with approved information, but by preventing people from being confronted with opposing points of view
Propaganda also has much in common with public information campaigns by governments, which are intended to encourage or discourage certain forms of behavior
The strategy intends to initiate the individual from information recipient to information seeker through reinforcement, and then from information seeker to opinion leader through indoctrination.
