Bannon: Media is Opposition. Should Keep Its Mouth Shut.

[sonrisa]

Yay for the first Amendment! Yay for our fearless leader and his advisors!

Mmm, yeah, that'll shut 'em up. 

[pitta12]

Good to know he's getting pissed off. Keep it up, reporters!

[tessalb]

I just came to post this.

We can assume this view is shared/supported by Trump, yes? I think I need to subscribe to another paper. Keep up the good work.

[Dig Ophelia]

I hope you suffocate inside your KKK robes, Bannon.

[cookies]

This is chilling and crazy as hell.

[simpsongal]

Huh, I figured he could take the heat, seeing as he came straight from hell.

“The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”

The media aren't the only ones who don't understand why Trump is president.

[robyn]

God I can't wait to throw this in the face of every fucking asshole who went on and on about their damn second amendment rights (which they usually are wrong about anyway) for 8 years of Obama and how he was going to "take away their guns"

[pitta12]

I mean, keeping Steve fucking Bannon happy is not a goal the USA should have.

[madisen]

Looks like we've got our third party - the media...the opposition party. How do I join?

[2curlydogs]

This seems like a good place to drop this:

And above all, be strong, fight, endure, and remember you're on the good side of history.
EVERY authoritarian, totalitarian and fascist regime in history eventually failed, thanks to the PEOPLE.


- With love, your Eastern European friends

Side note: Can we start an Opposition Party, though? Sign me up for that.

Go to college, spend $40,000 on a degree and then get a salaried job that pays slightly over minimum wage when you think about 40 hours a week but you'll not actually work 40 hours a week.

Oh wait, that's just me. /bitter

Yes, but it will cost $200 for a bottle of shitty Cuervo.

And yet Trump can't turn off the TV:

[goldengirlz]

Says the guy who RAN A MEDIA COMPANY.

Why doesn't he take his own damn advice and STFU?

[goldengirlz]

Also, the media is not supposed to be a mouthpiece for the government. The media is the fourth estate. They're a fundamental part of our democracy and you're not supposed to like it.

Not just you. #bitter


My journalism friends are fired up about this. Good fuel to keep them going to find every little thing to get these assholes on.

[pumpkins]

Hope you don't mind a lurker popping in!

Do you think they are taking "1st is the worst, 2nd is the best" too literally when it comes to the Constitution?

😉

[bowies]

Someone just filed a complaint against Bannon to the FBI. Apparently he was taking a salary from a super PAC while working for the campaign. (Not sure why FBI - shouldn't that be FEC?)

His laundry is gonna be laid out.

Shit, old link. Hold.

ETA: Alright never mind me, that's the only date stamp I can find.

I left media for advocacy because I apparently really hate having money to pay my bills lol.

I'm in health related social media. I don't like paying my bills and like having people yell at me. lol
