Attention-grabbing piece by Kareem. I assume it’s not to be taken as uncommon for Pres Trump to return out and sue the information media. He’s hanging again at his antagonists and night up the rating with them. Whether or not he wins or not just isn’t a priority. He want to win but when he doesn’t?
His frivolous fits can have price the media massive quantities of cash in defending themselves in courtroom. Hopefully a choose sees via all of this as missing advantage and in some method rejects Trump. Possibly it is usually sufficient to get the Information Media to again off.
There’s at the very least one lawyer in our midst and perhaps he may give extra element as to the probability of success.
“Trump Sues NYT, CBS, and Others in Effort to Curb Free Speech,” Kareem’s Tackle Current Occasions
MY TAKE: This lawsuit has nothing to do with details or searching for justice. This can be a preemptive strike in opposition to the information media that’s crucial of Trump with a purpose to stifle them over the following 4 years. For the comparatively low price of submitting these lawsuits (which he has loads of billionaire mates able to foot the invoice), Trump achieves two objectives:
- He threatens all information media who would possibly problem him, attempting to get them to tone down or chorus from criticizing his administration sooner or later.
- He perpetuates the right-wing fantasy that the media is out to get him and isn’t reliable. This enables him to proceed to mislead the general public whereas choking off any sources of reliable reporting.
That is like these previous Western films the place a rich rancher damns up the water on his land, so his neighbors go dry and are compelled to promote to him. The Billionaire Bros will have the ability to decontrol at our peril and go tax legal guidelines to profit solely them, and nobody will have the ability to voice concern with out being punished. It’s a type of financial censorship to maintain Individuals uninformed and complacent, so that they received’t complain.
In one other piece of his latest “Take,” Kareem provides his view:
“winning is the one thing shared by so many Americans, which is how an empty suit like Trump got elected. They think he’s a winner because he owns things rather than because he’s smart or has integrity, both of which he’s demonstrated he lacks. Trump himself sought the presidency, not out of a commitment to serve, but out of a need to receive personal validation from others. To feel powerful. In doing so, he rejects the lessons about winning, teamwork, and fair play of all our best sports movies. And so did the voters enabling him.”
