Episode 41 – The Media is an Enemy, But Trump is Not Necessarily a Friend
Manage episode 308832024 series 3021383
In this episode, I discuss Donald Trump’s recent comments that the media is an enemy of the American people. I believe that he is correct when he says this; the media has been instrumental in perpetuating falsehoods to the American people and in eroding our liberties. However, I believe that Trump simply wants the media to get out of his way, so we cannot just jump on board with his agenda because he is right about the mainstream media. I also touch on a few other important recent stories, including Mike Flynn’s resignation and the press attack on PewDiePie.
