Wow. All the “news” Trump wants you to hear and nothing more. This is truly crazy.
Having a state run news agency does not prove greatness. It proves the opposite.

What’s nuts is that THREE ALREADY EXIST: Voice of America, PBS, and NPR. Why can’t he use those instead of inventing yet another new one? Is it because they’re hopelessly infested with progressive termite damage? What makes him think his new one will escape that fate?
If you read the tweets, it is pretty clear that what the President was talking about was CNN’s INTERNATIONAL broadcasts. PBS and NPR are not relevant, since they are domestic only. VOA is relevant, as several commentators have already pointed out, although its audience is tiny.
From what I have seen travelling internationally, CNN International’s audience is even smaller than their domestic audience — which makes them fairly well irrelevant. The big English language news service internationally is BBC, which is so far left it is humorous.
I have FIOS and they keep adding new news channels and they all seem to be right leaning. I agree CNN leans heavily to the left, but we already have enough channels to counter their viewpoint.
1984 and SkyNet gets a little closer every day…loved DARPA’s Yuma synchronized killer drone test which can change targets on the fly and evaluated changing battlefield situations….can’t wait to see how that is deployed during US protests in major cities
We already have state-sponsored propaganda networks: NPR and PBS.
While that’s true, and I used to think of their news as “All (Liberal) Things Considered”, the sad truth is that these days they seem to be less biased than the commercial news services. I can’t think of even one news outlet that just gives you the news without a slant one way or the other.
I’m pretty sure the show Frontline is produced by the CIA.
Nothing racist or antisemitic just facts. Ever since the Rothschilds Zionist criminal cabal bought out Reuters and Associated Press in 1865, it’s been nothing but non-stop Jewish Zionist Supremacy Elite Power slanted biased controlled propaganda news to every single mainstream and alternative conservative alt-right media outlet and YouTube channels throughout the country. Our history books are all skewed with LIES DECEPTIONS MIS-DIRECTIONS. They write what they want us to know. TO THE VICTORS GOES THE SPOILS. That’s primary reason why so many Americans are so brainwashed brain dead close minded.
Also, in 2012 Obama repealed the original 1948 Smith-Mundt Act which had prohibited domestic propaganda so it’s been legal for our government to disseminate false bullshit narratives to control hearts minds opinions of majority. Breaking through life long held core belief systems and cognitive dissonance is one tough ass SHEKEL to crack. Have to start from scratch ground zero erase everything previously learned.
We have a false fake left right 2 party political paradigm that are both funded and controlled by AIPAC Jewish Lobby. Our country has been infiltrated hijacked and subverted from within by these Jewish Zionist Supremacist Power Marxist Communists. They also control Bank of International Settlements, international central banking cartel and finance, Federal Reserve, prints unlimited phony fiat currency, charges unfair criminal Usury they enslave us with, controls all mainstream and alternative conservative alt-right media, music and film industries, academia, stole our hi-technology which they use to globally surveil and spy on governments with their built in back doors into all hardware / software Internet Of Things, FUNDS CONTROLS MANIPULATES ALL SIDES. They are the ultimate beneficiaries and hidden puppet masters behind virtually everything geopolitical.
News flash: The media is already controlled by the government, its corporate supporters and various elite “institutions”.
Google the Senate’s “Church hearings”. Read about how the “intelligence community” already had their tentacles wrapped around the “free press” back then. If you think it is less so now? You’ve got to be kidding.
I wonder if the US Pravda would carry this story? 20 years ago, the MSM would kill each other off to carry this one, but they are all beholden now.
Trump is smart in a lot of ways but this is completely backwards.
What we need is to end internet and social media censorship and shadow banning etc so MORE news agency and sources can compete and deliver their news.
The fake news is destroyed by attacking those media outlets trying to control the news flow, NOT by making your own bloated agency.
That would create a billion dollar trolling industry, which already exists, it would simply grow into a monolith of its own. My suggestion here is not censorship, simply that it could be the rope we supply with which they strangle us.
We are going “Full Retard” now.
Just bought some more Gold five minutes ago.
“Cyber Monday Special”.
But who would want to work for such a news outlet?
Ex TV show hosts/Presidents?
… we will call it Pravda.
Really! Please read what President Trump actually wrote. He was talking about the negative way CNN presents the US to the world, and the need to present a more accurate picture of the US to people in other countries. He was not saying anything about controlling what US citizens hear within the US.
There is nothing seriously crazy about that idea of presenting a more balanced picture of the country to those outside the borders — other countries do it, see for example the BBC’s Worldwide Service or Russia Today. The flaw in the idea is that, as Jcbl points out, the US has already been running Voice of America for decades. Of course, VOA has the same problem as CNN — no-one pays any attention to them anymore.
And exactly where in the list of any possibly legitimate government’s enumerated powers, did The Founders place running a propaganda operation? I must have missed it…
Sounds like he’s groping for 2020 slogans. He can’t just recycle lock her up, build the wall, end the wars, and drain the swamp. Maybe this time he’ll Make Propaganda Great Again?
That said, there’s little reason to be scared of Trump’s ideas since he seldom intends to implement them. If Kim Jong Un were on the ball, he’d claim partial credit for this, saying he brought it up during their meetings. Would this make Trump Big Rocket Man?
Don’t we already have the Voice of America:
And PBS.
VOA – yes. PBS – not so much.
While PBS shares that old Democrat crazy idea of being taxpayer-funded, it is different from VOA since it does not broadcast internationally — the rest of the world is not interested in Pledge Week, or Pledge Month, or whatever PBS is up to now. As the President’s tweet states, he was talking about “show the World” — the bits outside the US.
You voted for CRAZY…Own it…AntiChrist Trump and his den of vipers!
Dont we already have FOX NEWS and COAST TO COAST AM? Please…
