The Senate unanimously passed a resolution Thursday affirming that “the press is not the enemy of the people.” The resolution, introduced by Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, passed by unanimous consent.
President Trump has repeatedly declared that the “fake news” media is the “enemy of the people.”

“Resolved, that the Senate affirms that the press is not the enemy of the people; reaffirms the vital and indispensable role that the free press serves to inform the electorate, uncover the truth, act as a check on the inherent power of the government, further national discourse and debate, and otherwise advance the most basic and cherished democratic norms and freedoms of the United States; and condemns the attacks on the institution of the free press and views efforts to systematically undermine the credibility of the press as an attack on the democratic institutions of the United States….” the resolution reads.
Mr. Trump often rips into the media, which he says is unfair in its coverage of him. The president took to Twitter Thursday morning, after dozens of newspapers coordinated editorials to rebuke the president for his attacks on the press.
Mr. Trump declared on Twitter Thursday morning that “THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THE OPPOSITION PARTY.” The president said in a follow-up tweet that, “The fact is that the Press is FREE to write and say anything it wants, but much of what it says is FAKE NEWS, pushing a political agenda or just plain trying to hurt people.”
They might as well have added the clause “and Democrats are not stupid, either”.
I have to strongly agree …
The press is not the problem and a enemy of the people.
It’s the Senate thatz the enemy of the pee poll.
Oh … and my tin foil hat spellchick program says that..
Enemy… should be changed to…
Drum Roll pulleazzzzz..
“Enema”.
Pretty bad when the Senate has to purger itself
Now wouldn’t you say?
Also pretty bad when they have to work sooooo hard to try to convince us of this complete and utter fuking BULLSHIT!
A little bit off subject, yet dealing with the alternative press, I just wanted to alert people to yet another ominous sign. The website theinternetpost.net has been deleted. Erased. The reason given was the by now usual “violation of terms of service”. Whether or not one agrees with the content is irrelevant. The point is they are deciding for you what you should know.
It is unlikely t”the press” is the enemy of the people.
This was pounced on when someone in the spotlight said “fake news” is the enemy of the people.
When “the press” distorts the facts they are indeed the enemy of the people.
I confirmed your statement and also noticed it’s WordPress.
I have to agree, the press is one of the enemies of the people….and notice exactly WHO introduced this: Schatz the jew! The press is controlled by jews to sell the jew agenda to the masses and subvert our Bill of Rights! This should not surprise anyone here.
“Schatz is Jewish. JStreetPAC, which supported him, called him a “strong voice for the pro-Israel, pro-peace movement,” and a supporter of the Iran nuclear agreement.[5][6]”

Schatz. Isn’t that the plural for Shat?
Shat, in turn, is the past tense for Shit?
So, according to this article, the Senate declared that the institution of the FREE press is not the enemy of the people.
President Trump said, in his tweet, that the “fake news” media is the “enemy of the people.”
So it’s absolutely accurate.
According to a 100% Senate vote….
The institution of the FREE press, including all of the internet FREE press outlets, are not a problem.
The 100% Jew owned and controlled “fake news” media IS still the enemy of the people.
To me, this is damage control, big time. They know we know the tv lies, the newspapers lie, the mainstream Internet lies. This is a desperate attempt to keep us tuned-in to the lie. They are struggling for credibility and they haven’t had it for many moons.
Their moral compass is limp, like an old weed denied water, dying, because they lied and continue to lie and uphold a farce that won’t rest ’till all is under its control.
And Trump, pretending to expose their compromise, lies his way through cruel war, and with a smile attacks our rights, our due process.
Damage Control is not working as well as it used to.
.
Start a list going back to last year. MIke Adam’s the Health Ranger ….YouTube and websites.
That’s very reassuring coming from the another enemy of the people.
Has anybody taken this stand that isn’t a Jew, or controlled by Zionists?
Democratic Senator Brian Shitz.
Barely caught that typo.
I think I need to upgrade my drunken ai spellcheck to version 2.0.
“… condemns the attacks on the institution of the free press and views efforts to systematically undermine the credibility of the press as an attack on the democratic institutions of the United States….”
Any ‘press’ that supports the propaganda that this is a democracy is absolutely an enemy of the people.
