Trump releases statement saying he’ll break up media companies, threatens action against NBC, CNN, NYTimes, WaPo
Trump’s statement is a wild, unhinged anti-media rampage.
Click here for reuse options!“Over a hundred years ago, a pro-business Teddy Roosevelt busted up more than 40 oil, railroad, steel and other “trusts” that were wielding their rapacious monopoly power to gouge consumers and interfere with the efficient functioning of the American economy. Donald Trump will break up the new media conglomerate oligopolies that have gained enormous control over our information, intrude into our personal lives, and in this election, are attempting to unduly influence America’s political process…
“NBC, and its Clinton megaphone MSNBC, were once owned by General Electric, a leader in offshoring factories to China. Now NBC has been bought by Comcast, which is specifically targeting the Chinese market – even as Comcast’s anchors and reporters at MSNBC engage in their Never Trump tactics.
“AT&T, the original and abusive “Ma Bell” telephone monopoly, is now trying to buy Time Warner and thus the wildly anti-Trump CNN. Donald Trump would never approve such a deal because it concentrates too much power in the hands of the too and powerful few.
“The New York Times strings are being pulled by Mexico’s Carlos Slim, a billionaire who benefits from NAFTA and supports Hillary Clinton’s open border policies. Amazon, which controls the Washington Post, profits from the flow of illegally subsidized foreign products through its distribution channels. Lower costs mean higher margins — no matter if bad trade deals lead to massive unemployment in America.
“This oligopolistic realignment of the American media along ideological and corporate lines is destroying an American democracy that depends on a free flow of information and freedom of thought. Donald Trump will drain the swamp of corruption and collusion, standing against this trend and standing for the American people.”

I wish they sue him for his trumped up, baseless accusations regardless if he files suit or not.

He’ll break up the NYT and the Washington Post into smaller newspapers and call them Pravda New York and Pravda Washington.

maybe he should release his tax returns instead of statements like this…

Where is Wikileaks when you need them?
If anything needs to be leaked, it’s Trump’s tax returns. His emails would also be entertaining.
Wikileaks wants to be seen as a legitimate media outlet but they have totally discredited themselves.

Let’s start with AM radio.
I live in one of the most liberal cities in the nation and all I can get are right wingers on the car radio.

Now you’ve got me wondering what city you live in… Portland? Austin? Provincetown?
Mensa Member October 24th, 2016 at 11:29
Ha! You guessed it. Portland.
Portland had a profitable liberal AM station with a good signal and Clear Channel replaced it with a station that gets something like a 0% rating.
Now all we have is Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and Portland’s own right winger Lars Larson.

Or religious stations. Pretty much the same thing, though.

Any Republicans here, want to bet for your Candidate Whiny Little Bitch Drumpf? No way in million years, he will be a President unless Rusian help him to cheat this election. Learn how to play fair, we have fackchecks. Hillary is not a great candidate but she is way much better that Drumpf. Either we want to go low or go high as a country. It’s your choice.
