I hate to type this, but in a CERTAIN extent I agree with Donald Trump. Don't get me wrong I am against trump, its because again in a certain extent what he talks about the media I agree with. I think this because in the past News Networks when reporting on Latinos, Blacks, and other minorities it has been all negative or insulting. In the article it states the unreasonable and irrational actions of Donald trump; who says that Networks like NBC are terrible for the country(ironic that he says that). Later he contradict himself with saying that the news should always report honestly. Which show that he doesn't want the News to report on him making him look like a hypocrite.

Trump wants the people to agree with him on that the press shouldn't be able to publish whatever they want. It is disgusting and wrong, to trump. He wants some networks NBC for example to loose their license because he considers them to be fake news or anyone who he says is fake news. Well after saying that they should be remanded many people who believe in the 1st amendment and take it very seriously became angry. Stating that "the founders of our nation set as a cornerstone of our democracy the 1st Amendment, forever enshrining and protecting freedom of the press" With what Trump aid about the press should be taken serious because he is trying to take away many people of america's amendments.

my opinion is that the news sometimes says false statements and fake things and people believe that it is true and take it into concern. the media should stop and think before they say anything false and not true about people especially celebrities. though trump deserved it because he is not a good president at all he has said cruel and mean things that is really disrespectful to others. i hope this ugly loser does not become our president again in 2020.

President Trump’s threat to the media will affect the rights of the media. Press has the freedom to publish what they please and to an extent I do believe that it is not pleasant to the people they talk about. I believe that the press should have the freedom to publish what they please but it depends on what they are reporting on. Later it has been President Trump and his crazy allegations. But before when they would talk about the killing of innocent African Americans they put the image that theses people of color where he bad guys. When it comes to what is being said in this article I don’t believe that this is false I believe that this information is true. I believe that he is only talking like this because the press is putting all this new and true information out there that he does not want out in the public.

Trump has suggested that television networks should loose their federal broadcast licenses. He has argued that the news reporters have shared "fake news." The people have argued that their right to free speech has been violated, as stated in the text "the president’s remarks alarmed 1st Amendment advocates for suggesting the use of government power to punish the media." Trump has made people very angry, over the decisions and opinions he believes will make America a better nation which will eventually lead to many disagreements and cause more issues.

In my opinion I think Trump is right to a certain extend because sometimes the press do go over the line but i think that the press also has the right to write or say whatever they want. I think that the press should be able to write whatever they want because it is in their rights. We have the freedom of speech and the freedom of free expression for a reason. This is what i think about this.
