How out of contact with actuality is Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer? So out of contact that he lately steered that the Trump administration is being shielded by the press.
Schumer was speaking about the truth that some media firms are being acquired by conservatives who is perhaps extra optimistic of their protection of Trump and the administration. You realize, the way in which that 99 p.c of the media has handled Democrats for many years now.
In the middle of his remarks, he used this to say that we aren’t going to have a free press anymore. Naturally, he tried to tie in the entire silly ‘No Kings’ factor as effectively.
Transcript through Schumer’s Senate Page:
Schumer: I had just a few questions this morning of my nice colleague — and as soon as once more, his energy, his indomitability, and his caring about this democracy, which everyone knows is in danger, is simply superb and so my query pertains to one thing he touched on earlier than, in his discussions with our nice senator from New Hampshire. There are such a lot of methods this administration is attempting to tear aside democracy and one in every of them, you talked about a minute in the past, is the threatening of media to simply do what Trump desires and the person who’s head of the FCC appears to be an instrumentality of that.
Trump has mentioned, issues they are saying I don’t like shouldn’t be placed on the air, they usually’ve held over the heads the printed licenses of a few of our nice media firms. In different methods, they’re getting a few of their buddies to take over a few of our media firms. And isn’t one of many biggest blows to democracy — I might ask my colleague — one of many biggest blows to democracy after we don’t have a totally free press?
And has it been a trademark of so most of the nations that he has talked about which can be autocracies or absolute dictatorships to haven’t any free press, so no info can come out? And doesn’t that dramatically damage the American individuals, when authorities is shielded and may do no matter it desires — and damage as many individuals because it desires — since you don’t have a free press? Shouldn’t it actually frighten each American that this can be a massive step on the street away from democracy in direction of tyranny and in direction of authoritarian authorities?
