Barbra Streisand @barbrastreisand.bsky.social · 18/12/2024With the capitulation of ABC and several billionaires who own media outlets to Trump’s threats, do we still have freedom of the press as guaranteed in the Constitution in this country? 98813134
Melissa Spiegler @theatreck.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Unlikely - he has every intention of getting rid of everything in the Constitution and no one has the balls to stop him. 040
sangeeta @sangeetasanghvi.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Modi, in India bought out all major mainline media through his cronies. next is, journalists who speak the truth to power, are critical of Modi govt, are either raided, harrassed, snooped upon or jailed. BBC was also not spared. hope USA doesn't reach there. but Modi and Trump are identical twins. 010
1Feralfeminist @1feralfeminist.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Sadly, not for a long time now. We need an honest media who aren’t paid to lie to us and we clearly don’t have that. 030
Chris @highfield1.bsky.social · 22/12/2024You can't have freedom of the press when it is so easily bought and journalists have no backbone or obligation to report the truth. The Constitution is largely a thing of the past, not enough Americans wanted it. 000
Peg - I care, do you? 💙 @blueskypeg.bsky.social · 03/01/2025USA has a press, not journalism. Propaganda, not news. Alternative facts, not facts. Misinformation, not information. Authoritarianism, not democracy. Soon Project 2025, not a Constitution, if we all don’t stand up and scream every damn day. Don’t forget local politicians! 052
Collector and Collection @ayoube77.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Yes, BUT we have to stop equating “the press” with Fox, Cox, and Comcast. The PRESS are the people on the ground, collecting the facts, getting the updates from inside sources, and getting it out to the people. Thankfully the coming unqualified self-serving admin will likely be very leaky. 000
Rachel Wales @rachelwales.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Don't think so if it's owned by a billionaire who has interests in one candidate winning over another. Wouldn't trust many media outlets and publcations now. They used to be greatly respected but I don't think they will be for too long. 010

Ellen Boyd @songboyd.bsky.social · 18/12/2024We have the unfettered freedom to lie incessantly; however, attempting to tell the truth over the next 4 years could become very costly. 😢 000
Donna Mentrasti @donnam125.bsky.social · 18/12/2024If not, I fear all our freedoms will slowly either be severely compromised or competely taken away..."like death by a thousand cuts," especially if the media et al continues to normalize Trump out of fear of retribution. These are scary times for sure, Barbra. 020
pswales.bsky.social @pswales.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Watch independent news on YouTube.There are no billionaires pulling their strings. Ben Meiselas of the Meidas Touch Network just did an interview with President Biden airing tomorrow. 000

paula826.bsky.social @paula826.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I feel he really wants to alter the constitution. Also, him claiming he wants Canada as the 51st state and possibly owning Greeland. I believe he views himself as royalty. 000

Russ DiBello @russdibello.bsky.social · 25/12/2024He's about a month away from having an official government job again, but did you see the "Thank You" note he already had his flunky on the FCC send the CEO of Disney/ABC, Bob Iger? In a nutshell: watch what you say on your network, or it's your licenses. Not even prez yet. 000
StLuGal @stlugal.bsky.social · 25/12/2024I disagree with the term capitulation. I believe their goals are aligned with his goals and they will happily go along with his fascist agenda. They are oligarch owned corporate propaganda at this point and should not be treated as objective surveyors of truth. Support Independents! 000
Turning a Phrase @turningphrases.bsky.social · 24/12/2024I don't think we have had a free press for a long time. The media has felt compelled to use false balance to pursue "controversy" when there is none and to present "both sides" when only one is truly valid to make money for conservative owners. www.voicesforvaccines.org/toolkits/fal...voicesforvaccines.orgFalse Balance in the MediaIt is the journalist’s job to make sure the main narrative of their report is rooted in fact or scientifically verifiable consensus. 010
davidk58.bsky.social @davidk58.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Not if the press does not have the courage to stand up to this Wannabe Dictator. 000
Jamie Loeffler @mallla.bsky.social · 18/12/2024No, because the corporations who own the media are dictating the narrative of the broadcasts. I follow independent media outlets such as Status Coup, Breaking Points, Secular Talk, The Real News Network. 000
OldLefty 🇺🇸 🇺🇦🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🔵 @oldlefty67.bsky.social · 18/12/2024The truly free press outlets seem very hard to find. As almost all the other evils that are plaguing the country (and world) right now, it seems money in the hands of a few is the root of the problem. 000

JulieTheMainstreeter @juliemainstreeter.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I have considered supporting press willing to stand up against law suits intended to intimidate by subscribing to their paper. Has anyone else considered subscribing to the Des Moines Register to support their battle with Trump? It seems a bit like donating to a political cause. Sound interesting? 000
Stephen Blythe @cadforever.bsky.social · 18/12/2024No! Trump wants to destroy the Constitution and enrich himself. We will have to endure the pillaging of our country for 4 years. The Resistance must be fearless, never doubting that Trump will reap what he has sown. 010

kittybkraken.bsky.social @kittybkraken.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Ms. Streisand, I think you are really asking if the mainstream media are somehow being forced by Trump to return to being journalists and practice unbiased reporting. I for one think that's a good thing. And it's being done because of crashing viewership, not Trump. Mass firings and huge paycutts. 000
