| OSCE urges Trump to stop 'attacks' on media |
| 2017-08-29 |
| [Iran Press TV] The OSCE's media freedom watchdog on Monday called on US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... to tone down his virulent attacks on the press, warning that they "degrade" the media's key role in a democracy and open journalists to abuse. Since taking office in January, the 71-year-old leader has made a habit of publicly bashing mainstream media outlets like The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , which he regularly denounces as "fake news" on his Twitter account. "I urge the United States administration to refrain from delivering such attacks on the media," Harlem Desir, the media freedom representative of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, said in a letter to the White House. "The US president's statements are deeply problematic in that they degrade the essential role the media plays in every democratic society, holding governments to account and offering a platform for a diversity of voices," read the letter addressed to US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. |

| #7 I had a Journo major fraternity brother/housemate that I still love (named my oldest son after him). I asked him why he was a J Major? : "It was the chicks, an easy major and he cakewalked thru it." Never did it as a career. Successfully worked in marketing for So Cal Developers |

| #6 Trump should stop attacks on media. Israel should learn from the EU how to battle terrorism. And Chinese should learn from EU how to do business. |

| #2 The Media was kiss ass and still is a big smooch butt for the Democrats. I hope Trump keeps the pressure on until the Media realize the American people spit on their "news". The seven o'clock News is Urp. The Media serves garbage. I don't want to hear some opinion from a slick in a suit. I want honest and objective reporting of facts. Opinion is NOT news. Groupthink is not news. Propaganda is not News. PC sucks and I don't like puffs and cowards....journalists. Useless people. Mouths in a shirt. |
