In #TrumpNation, if you don't like the press you're getting it must be the press's fault.

In #TrumpNation, if you don't like the press you're getting it must be the press's fault. Or social media's. Or Google's. Wherever the fault lay, it most certainly is not, and cannot, be laid at your own feet, surrounded by your own actions.

After attacking the press for years, #DonaldTrump, and other conservatives, have most recently been attacking social media outlets suck as Facebook and Twitter, for promoting "liberally biased" content over their own preferred content. Now that barometer seems to have adjusted even further afield, from news, to social media and now to search itself.

Does anyone remember when conservatives were the defenders of Constitutional protections and the free market? Now it seems like they've abandoned their core beliefs as they see how a (supposedly) free market actually doesn't prefer their ideology. Why "supposedly"? Simple: there's no such thing as a truly free market.

Fox News stands to lose more than most if we start regulating news.

John Bump but he doesn't want to regulate them, his target is Google. The emperor wants to create his comfort bubble...
