    You don’t get an accurate view of what’s happening here by watching it from a different continent through a filtered, leftist media.

    just fund PBS news more. The nation does need a national news outlet that is not owned by multinational corporations. Nightly debates on topics consisting of a rotation of 10 left and right journalists submitted by American association of journalists and authors, also among policymakers on both aisles. Then debates among congressmen on the committees that they both share seats.

    Lol ... of course! Interesting that I know more about US issues as many of these Americans in the forum. For example it was amazing how many Americans think, they have an official language English in the USA, but they don't have in reality!
    And this rediculous lefty / righty dirt throwing you can forget in my case ... I am imum for this nonsense!

    They already are. The majority of the MSM operates in partnership with the Dems.

    I think the current state of affairs in the media today is terrible. It's a redo of the Yellow Journalism perfected by the likes of William Randolph Hearst.

    I'm not necessarily in favor of any kind of state run media, (NPR is a hybrid though), but I get the sentiment the President is expressing.

    I don't get the sentiment at all, especially from a conservative. if there is a void in the market for news, let someone develop a business plan that will make a profit from it. This hypocrisy from the president is glaring.

    I think the President is good at getting people to talk about issues. His suggestion has certainly resulted in that.

    The MSM, as it is comprised today, is a corrupt and ideologically driven fraud machine.

    Perhaps the Presidents suggestion will stimulate people to further reject what the MSM has become, and it will do something about it on its own.

    He can't help the 40% with TDS caused by the MSM and celebrity propaganda machine.

    I think that is all it is, to bring attention to issues important to him and perhaps his base. He's done this before like with the Space Force. If it was important to make it happen, he would have pushed more for it.

    And think about it in the context of heads exploding on the left at the outrageous suggestion that the Federal Government run it's own news service......

    We have had something called Voice of America. Here is how it's defined on wiki

    "Voice of America (VOA) is a U.S. government-funded international multimedia agency which serves as the United States federal government's official institution for non-military, external broadcasting, the largest U.S. international broadcaster. VOA produces digital, TV, and radio content in more than 40 languages which it distributes to affiliate stations around the globe."
    At what point in time will people on the left wake up to the fact they are being played for fools by the powers they have attached themselves to?

    With Trump you never know and it's folly to let any of his "ideas" get a pass as a joke. We all thought the wall was a joke and would never happen because it's such a worthless joke. Look how that is playing out. Government shutdown in a temper tantrum followed by diverting military funds and soldier's time (the military has to build it if military funds get used). For a wall that will stop not one gram of drugs and not more than a tiny handful of illegals.

    Nope, we have to stay on top of any wackiness from him.

    Actually, given what happened yesterday, it's folly to pay attention to anything New Democratic Party leadership, or MSM partner, has to say.
