Trump has sued the Des Moines Register and its pollster for the poll that showed Harris ahead by 3 points in the weeks before the election.

This is rich!

Pity he didn’t wait for Inauguration Day. Then he could sic Patel on them and lock them up.

Here we go boys and girls!

The question to ask is does the freedom of the press to publish their stories and opinions have any litigation protection from the President simply because he doesn’t like the content of their speech.

Trump should not have the power to litigate against the media on frivolous charges just to intimidate and silence them. Especially if it’s paid for by donations or outside sources.

It’s similar to the kinds of things that they did in Russia and China against their opposition media.

Trump has long threatened the media. Press freedom groups fear he might make good on it

Press freedom groups sounded the alarm Wednesday on the potential dangers facing journalists under a second Trump administration, denouncing threats from the president-elect and his associates to undermine the news media.

In the hours after Donald Trump’s decisive victory, the Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Without Borders, Freedom of the Press Foundation and American Sunlight Project called on the president-elect to end his attacks on the news media or altogether curb Trump’s power to prevent a destabilizing onslaught against the press.

“On the campaign trail and during his previous administration, President-elect Donald Trump has frequently deployed violent language and threats against the media. His election to a second term in office marks a dangerous moment for American journalism and global press freedom,” Reporters Without Borders said.

The groups’ fears are not without grounds. In the run-up to Election Day, Trump repeatedly threatened the Fourth Estate, often employing extreme and authoritarian rhetoric. Earlier this week, Trump told a crowd in Pennsylvania that he wouldn’t mind if journalists got shot. He also filed a lawsuit against CBS over its “60 Minutes” interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and repeatedly threatened to strip broadcasters of their licenses, saying on at least 15 occasions that television networks should have their licenses revoked over news coverage he disapproved of.

Between Sept. 1 and Oct. 24, Reporters Without Borders found that Trump insulted, attacked, or threatened the press at least 108 times across public speeches and remarks, a figure that does not include Trump’s social media posts or comments made by campaign staff.

He’ll never read it, txdot. Nor will the other MAGA winners. It’s from CNN.

Patel has already put the media on notice. Twitler is,coming for them.

It’s 9:59 and Trump is still a fascist.
