Trump's Argument Against President Bill Clinton

A lot of people are against the new president and they have spoken against him. They have also peacefully and violently protested when he had his inauguration on Friday. The First Amendment protects those people who are peacefully speaking or protesting against the president, but it doesn’t protect the ones who are violently protesting and destroying property. Not only has the First Amendment has been used but it also has be restricted. There has been talk that Trump doesn’t want the media that is in the white house to be around while he is in meetings. If Trump gets rid of the media in the White House, then the country would stop knowing what new changes the president is going to make or what he has done so far. Since the media in the White House are the ones who report about everything that happens in the White House and in the country. It is important for them to know what is happening in the meetings so they can communicate it to the rest of the world. If he does that then he would interfere with the freedom of press part in the First Amendment.

The Kremlin does not take kindly to any who would question its authority, whether through speech, essays, or social media. In fact, all protests except those authorized by the government are illegal. Another example of their censorship is visible in 2015 when the Kremlin attempted to disconnect Russia’s internet from that of the rest of the world in order to close the country from outside influences (Soldatov 396). The reason for such adamancy on the subject of censorship is due to the fact that Russian authorities have reimplemented their repressive tactics towards opponents since Vladimir Putin’s presidential reelection in 2012 (Gel’den 7). The Kremlin bases its success off of the extent of control it can exert. Thus, the breeding ground of ideas that is the internet is dangerous to their objectives. While it is impossible to completely shut the country off from external influences at the moment, Russia is definitely capable of stifling domestic opposition; especially that of the people

America holds the illusion of ‘land of the free and home of the brave.’ This by any means, is not true if we continue to classify big media corporations as free press. Big corporations like Fox news, CNN, Union Tribune, etc. are also referred to as mainstream media and are completely under the control of the elite 1%. Time and again mainstream media has proved as unrepresentative, only serving the ones who pay them. In a nation where democracy is valued, people rely heavily on news sources to gather information, therefore, they need sources who can provide uncensored information that enables them to make knowledgeable decisions about their government.

In a particularly harsh and surprising article on the typically conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page, the writer voices his anger with Trump’s dubitable claims that British Intelligence wiretapped President Trump on behalf of the Obama administration. He concludes his article with the statement, “Two months into his Presidency, Gallup has Mr. Trump’s approval rating at 39 percent. No doubt Mr. Trump considers that fake news, but if he doesn’t show more respect for the truth, most Americans may conclude he’s a fake President.” While this is an especially severe statement, according to the aforementioned Fox News poll, the majority of people “think it’s better for the country if the news media ‘cover the president aggressively.’” The result of this poll is compatible with the public’s positive response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in New York Times v. United States. With the new administration, freedom of the press will remain at the forefront as questions continue to arise about what type of press is best for the

not until the twentieth century that the concept of the “press” morphed into professional journalists working in television, radio, publishing companies that conducted and investigated serious stories to deliver to the public. Since then, the courts have struggled to manage the immense role of a free press within the country for it is the emblem of a democratic, civilized and enlightened society. Because journalists generally have access to more information than an average citizen, those with wicked intentions and uninterrupted misdeeds tend to issue subpoenas to fight the journalists from releasing their dirt. However, the First Amendment clearly states, “Congress shall make no law […] prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging

In June of 2016, Donald Trump Jr. expressed interest in meeting someone described as a Russian government lawyer who had damaging information about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. This contradicts what members of the Trump presidential campaign have been saying for months, which is they never sought or received help from Russia to defeat Clinton. The denials and subsequent disclosure of the emails from Trump Jr. are only escalating the controversy surrounding President Trump’s administration.

That this actical of the week is about is A Republican newspaper is not suppering Donald Trump and supporting Hillary Clinton.What I think about all of this is that if you are a newspaper that is just post to write about one party you can't just switch over to supporting another party that is just not right. Because that new paper does not like Donald Trump does not give the right to write about the democrat party.When they are post to write about the republican party and they write about the other party not then party they are post to.All of the controversy between Hillary Clinton emails and Donald Trump sex abuse charges. I think that the newspaper should not be covering neither of the conduits because both are not fit for the president's

Furthermore, it seems like President Trump’s infamous use of social media is not the only thing influencing the country. According to Jessica Mudditt’s article, Statute becomes lightning rod for Australian nationalists, Trump’s take on politics has brought hope and motivation into the Australian nationalist party, the Party For Freedom. This right wing group focuses primarily on the opposition of immigration and multiculturalism (Mudditt). They also have widely rejected Islam, as the religion itself has been seen as connection to terrorist attacks as seen with the hostage situation in Sydney back in 2014. The Party for Freedom has even gone to the extent of adapting President Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan with their own twist – Make Australia

Our daily doses of the latest gossip and news of those around us never seem to have an objective. We are shown various articles from potential presidential candidates to the latest crime on the block, and very few enlightening stories. Each article may seem rather at random and just picked in order of the most intriguing to the less interesting, but it just goes to show how unknowingly we are influenced by the press today. The press has the power to manipulate the way we perceive our surroundings with the legitimate authority to do so. It is only up to our own morals and ethics to really understand who has power over us and to understand the differences between illegitimate and legitimate authority.

Federal Law states that freedom of press cannot be taken away from you. Thomas Jefferson states in 1786, “Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” A speech delivered by Erskine Halls on June 5th 1931, “….the U.S supreme court overruled the lower courts’ decisions, recognizing the gag law for what it actually is: Censorship.”

Broadcasters and journalists’ right to freedom of speech is restricted, because the government forces them to withhold information that is unfavorable to them or the other side of the story. This violates humans’ rights as the general public has the right to know the truth about the political, social and economic actions of the nation that they live in, rather than being deceived by their government of being tricked into doing things. The big issue with censorship is the fact that people of higher authorities start to use the word ‘censoring’, when in reality they are using propaganda to assure members of the public to be satisfied with governmental actions, and that the justified reasons for specific actions allow them to suppress the right to freedom of speech in such a small manner that it isn’t even considered violation. Governments use media to justify their actions by spreading the view that rights to freedom of speech need to be suppressed and violated for the ultimate protection of the population. For example, in the United States, after 9/11, the government justified their actions of spying into citizens’ emails and social activity, for the ultimate ‘national security’ of USA. Furthermore, to violate some basic human rights is to deny one of their fundamental rights, and dehumanize them. The denial of these rights has sprouted chaos in the population provoking citizens to be angry once realizing that they were

The government and news stations choose what we can see and believe. Trump TV is example of what is chosen for the people of America to watch. Using the media as a platform will increase the,” shrinking path to presidency.” In Orwell’s dystopian society, the government censors the media to what they want for their own benefit. Any source possible in this book is censored because they do not want the people thinking for themselves. In America, there is censorship and a limit to what the people can see. The government uses the cloak of entertainment to cover their true story or what is important. This is manipulative and it must stop! The people of the United States have the right to see, what they are covering up over the sheet of

incorrectly assume that I'm a liberal and/or support Clinton. You'd be wrong on both accounts. I'm an Independent which makes up approximately 42% of registered voters as of January of this year. My criticism of Trump is merely to point out weaknesses that if addressed would improve his chances in November.

When he arbitrarily chooses which elements of the media to legitimize and which bits to undermine, based on how favorable towards him they are, it’s the behavior of a dictator, not a president. He calls his critics the dishonest media. He spins unfavorable news as fake news. It’s rumor that he’s going to throw the Press Corps out of the White House, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least, because he wants the White House to be a safe space, where his narrative and agenda can proceed without the inconvenience of scrutiny or accountability. If someone says something he doesn’t like, he just shuts them down. “Nope! Not listening.” He conflates dissenting voices with dishonesty - and that’s dishonest. This is his plan all along - bypass the media via Twitter, berate and discredit and undermine the media so the public doesn’t trust them, be litigious with the media so they’re scared to write something unflattering. This makes him almost impossible to hold him to account. This is the behavior of a tyrant. No wonder he’s such a big fan of Putin!

Several top independent newspapers and press outlets have been effectively shut down by government decrees since the coup attempt. According to Human Rights Watch, over 140 media outlets and 29 publishing houses were shut down by government decrees in the year 2016; moreover, there has been arrest warrants issued for more than 100 top journalists and 30 of these arrests were made prior to the coup attempt (Silencing Turkey’s Media). The government has also placed restrictions and blocks on several social media outlets including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Skype (Editorial). The freedom of speech is one of the most, if not the most, important elements of a democracy and if the threat of censorship by the government exists as it does in Turkey it jeopardizes all other elements of a successful democracy and dissuades political pluralism and participation as a whole.
