This is not the first time it has happened. The liberal media outlets such as CNN, BBC, and MSNBC have intentionally misrepresented and lied about Trump's views, and have taken his quotes out of context. They should be ashamed of themselves.

This is the truth. Please stop believing that major news TV channels are speaking the truth. Media are not free and are controlled and owned by just six corporations.
They manipulate the truth, lie and distort reality to back up their crooked narration. Even Facebook and other social media services has advanced censorship build in.
Mainstream Media has been against Trump from the start, there were shredding his image by using omissions, lies and scripting.

Trump did not attack the media as is spreading around on media. I watched the program live on cnn. He said " I am not against the media but against the fake news media house". I was telling my friend that CNN is fake news because immediately trump said am against the fake news, CNN post on their breaking news that "Trump attack the media again".

White House: Feds will step up marijuana law enforcement

Quote from: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/23/politics/white-house-marijuana-donald-trump-pot/

"I do believe you will see greater enforcement of it," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said regarding federal drug laws, which still list marijuana as an illegal substance.

That's a reversal from the Obama administration's stance, which laid out in an official memo that the federal government wouldn't interfere in states where nonmedical use of marijuana is allowed.

That guidance was issued after two states -- Colorado and Washington -- voted to legalize recreational use of marijuana. Obama said in the immediate aftermath of those votes that the federal government had "bigger fish to fry" than cracking down on marijuana use in states where it's considered legal.

Most drug enforcement operations are carried out by state and local authorities, with little involvement by the federal government. Enforcing marijuana laws has been considered a lower priority for federal drug agents, who have remained focused on curbing narcotics trafficking and combating a nationwide epidemic of opioid abuse.

President Trump: Legalizing Drugs Will End the Violent Cartels

Quote from: http://livingresistance.com/2017/02/22/president-trump-legalizing-drugs-will-end-violent-cartels/

If you didn't hear about this, it's because virtually the entire mainstream media has been silent about it. The mainstream media is owned by just six corporations and relies for the bulk of its funding on pharmaceutical advertisers.

In a report from High Times, President Trump is referenced as stating that he is "a hundred percent" in favor of medical marijuana and added that legalizing it is "good in some ways."

The comment was made during an interview conducted by Bill O'Reilly while Trump was still a candidate, and indicated to many people that he had an open mind on the matter.

It's frustrating because I work in government and it's important for the media to say things how they want and not you. My blood pressure goes up 20 pt when they write "bicyclists" and not "person riding a bicycle." But it's important they don't just copy verbatum what the government wants them to say, but gets other perspectives.

Good for CNN. The media needs to be free to say as they please.

Trump makes statements that contradict one another. It is not possible to understand. It seems to me that he did not quite understand what he says. His attacks on the press more similar to the reaction of offended little child than the reaction of the President of America.

Do you remember the CNN putting a Halo over Hillary's head?

Trump just gave them what they deserved. Now they can cry and whine about it for another four long years.

I did not. I did not vote for her, either. To be fair ... Trump did raise good point about the system being stacked against the Sanders. I voted Stein (Green Party).

Yes, I agree that Trump will damage press freedom but it's not all.
He will damage human rights of many people in America, specially people without legal papers.
He will damage trade relationships with EU, China, Canada, Mexico, many other countries as well.
He will damage international security as well, weaken NATO etc.
I'm afraid that next US president will have very difficult job to repair it.

All they did was block out cancer, this does not damage press freedom.
Unless they also blocked the Associated Press and Reuters, which are some of the very few unbiased media outlets, THEN it'd be a problem.

The Democrats have always considered the Associated Press (and especially its diplomatic writer Matt Lee) as a thorn in their flesh. Also, you must watch the former state department spokesman John Kirby bullying Gayane Chichakyan of the RT, to get a better idea of the intolerance shown by the Democrats to the media.

The us government can take the decision to withdraw the United States from the UN Council on human rights. This issue is currently being considered in the administration of Donald trump.
The new team in the White house will be determined by membership in this organization in the near future. It is known that the final decision on this matter will be attended us President, the Ambassador to Washington at the UN, Nikki Haley and Secretary Rex Tillerson

Trump isnt damaging press freedom but he is wary and alarmed about how press are being controlled by politics. Press are no longer free but gives a biased report due to the control of their masters who are also in politics. Hilary Clinton has a huge connection and control on the majority of the News networks in the United States of America and she is using it to destroy Trump. It is right for Trump to target the current condition of the media which is no longer free but corrupted by politics.

Buzzfeed is pure cancer. CNN and BBC lost their value in my eyes, and I believe in a lot of people too. I was reading through some CNN headlines and boy oh boy is it stupid... They'll twist everything, it's gotten out of hand. You can't compare Trumps media situation with Hitlers or Stalins, it's a completely different thing.

Yes, we should only read things that agree with the president, we must be a good little comrade and not offend Dear Leader. Trump has been a trainwreck over the last few weeks - this is only good news for America's enemies.

I don't have anything against fair criticism. But the media went overboard, spreading lies and unsubstantiated rumors about the Trump administration. The best example is the recent order suspending immigration from seven countries. The media portrayed it as some sort of a Muslim ban.
