Dear Father Christmas/Santa, Please grant our Christmas Wish. We have been very good this year. We promise not to say shit, cunt, or fuck too terribly much unless we're driven to it by Trump CuntFuckery. Oh shit, so much for that promise! Well, we'll TRY. Thank You, the MN Viper Freedom Squad

He linked to a bot/propaganda account, of course. Hmm Don’t bother clicking on the links. They don’t lead anywhere. Trump obviously didn’t look before tweeting.

It's not CNN's job to represent the U.S to the world. That's yours. Our job is to report the news.

If you had any doubt Fox is low, there’s this. They have a kid on there talking policy. It isn’t his fault he has these views; he’s parroting things he’s heard. Fox is exploiting him. (BTW: this is a Caucasian-appearing child, even though his surname could suggest otherwise - and he is commenting on immigration. Perhaps he doesn’t know much about his own ancestry.)

Jacob Silva on @realDonaldTrump's first year: "I think he has done great. Illegal immigrants aren't pouring into our country as much anymore." @WattersWorld

TheClaws · 26/11/2017 04:58

Re: MAGAPill (and thanks Lion for your link). MAGAPill is generally known to be a crank site of misinformation, wild conspiracy theories and the like. Not something a POTUS should promote as a source of credible information (or a source a POTUS should put his faith in).

Here's a good trick question: if you advise 42 million people to visit a website that knowingly traffics in anti-American Russian disinformation, are you an OFFICIAL or UNOFFICIAL "agent of influence" acting in furtherance of the geopolitical ambitions of the Russian government?

The Making of an American Nazi

How did Andrew Anglin go from being an antiracist vegan to the alt-right’s most vicious troll and propagandist—and how might he be stopped?

Grin

Silva is the most common Portuguese surname. So, Caucasian.
It's also frequently used by people from Goa, as well as some Indian/Pacific Ocean islands, because of the Portuguese settling/occupying/doing trade there.
There are many Portuguese immigrants and their descendants in the US, including the infamous Devin Nunes, although I think he has more US generations than Trump. Wink

Lweji · 26/11/2017 08:48

Does Trump realize that the foreign press have reporters in the US? And that CNN isn't so important, by comparison, abroad?
That's why Fox News doesn't get so much projection abroad. People can compare.

PerkingFaintly · 26/11/2017 09:43

Shock So... when you said "child", I thought you were being sarky and referring to a 21-yr-old or something, who couldn't be expected to be an expert on foreign policy.

But... an actual child. A 9-yr-old. Being interviewed by Fox about taxes and North Korea - and Fox tweeting the child's quotes.

Ew.

TheClaws · 26/11/2017 09:53

I’m “abroad”. CNN isn’t on my radar. It certainly isn’t my main source.

TheNationalist, with respect, a POTUS saying that CNN is fake media and not a legitimate source of information is an attack on the freedom of the media. He is POTUS. He has done this repeatedly. He cannot remove their licence, but I am certain he could find another way to shut them down.

Re; your other question, yes, absolutely, Israel influencers are there to an unreported extent. I believe the Russian ones, particularly on the $$ side, are heavier, though.

TheClaws · 26/11/2017 09:57

Yes, Perking, it was bloody disgusting, poor kid. And thanks Lweji for further insight on ‘Silva’ - it’s also a very common Sri Lankan surname.

Interesting move for Trump to slam CNN just days after the DOJ filed suit to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger.

On a separate point, another take on the situation

David Frum‏
@davidfrum

Inside the US, CNN’s reporting is protected by the First Amendment and the courts. Outside the US, US-affiliated journalists do ultimately depend on the protection of the US government. Trump’s words are a direct attack on those international journalists' freedom & even safety

Natsku · 26/11/2017 13:14

I feel sorry for that child when he grows up and realises he was used by Fox and his parents, poor kid, very embarrassing.

lionheart · 26/11/2017 13:41

This is quite staggering.
