“If I had to choose between government without newspapers, and newspapers without government, I would not hesitate to choose the latter.” —Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), 3rd US president
Did you see where Trump tweeted that people now have to flush their toilets 10 to 15 times instead of just once? He is either campaigning against modern low water use toilets, or else he is so full of it that he needs to flush several times when HE uses it.
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” “There is no need for propaganda to be rich in intellectual content.” “It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.” “The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it.”
All quotes from Rupert Murdoch’s hero, Joseph Goebbels. Plus one that COULD apply to The Treasonweasel himself: “If we have power, we’ll never give it up again unless we’re carried out of our offices as corpses”
Amazing that our president quotes Vladimir – not Putin, but Lenin – every time he calls the press “the enemy of the people.” And the formerly patriotic republicans say nothing. Trump is a traitor and needs to be impeached before he does anymore harm to our country.
I find it absolutely amazing that dt and cadre are SO innocent that they refuse to release ANYTHING to the pres. Gawd, I’d just LUV to see the guy’s tax returns. . .
Fox News is a for-profit organization that panders to a segment of the population. The scorn should be dumped on the knuckle-draggers that believe Fox News and Hannity. They are the ones who have failed to remember the definition of “demagogue”. They are the ones who have poor decision-making skills. Sadly, they are the ones who are experiencing great and prolonged financial difficulties in these changing times. P.S., google: tv network news ratings 2019
In a previous strip Trudeau claimed that Trump supporters were so scarce that finding one was a newsworthy event. Yet here he is showing crowds of them.
This is too close to true. Fox Newscrews (sic) do, in fact, wear jackets, hats, etc. proclaiming their network affiliation in large, easily identifiable logos – particularly a tRUMP Rallies – for protection from the anti-media rabble-rousers.
Theaters should have regular free showings of “A Face in the Crowd,” Andy Griffith’s greatest role. You could look it up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Face_in_the_Crowd_(film)
Here in Mexico we are having the same trouble, the president´s fans behave like religious zealots in social media and on the street. Already harrased a reporter during the first anniversary of the presidency rally. Any who is critical of the man is a traitor and a conservative.
Trump not only complained about having to flush too much lately, he also said babies are born after 9 months of pregnancy far too often in every state recently.
“While reporters are routinely accosted, they’re RARELY assaulted. And not a single one has been killed so far.”We’re more likely to see such behavior on the Left. Also, when conservatives have a demonstration, they pick up after themselves (“all bark and no bite”) — leftists are inclined to have a free-for-all and leave a mess (I’ve never heard of a conservative defecating on a police car).
