What are his qualifications for discussing mass media...beyond what I would be able to do?

While I am suspicious whenever media outlets buy each other up and too much of the press power is concentrated with just a few companies, this talk of them stopping the deal makes me wonder what is up.
I am thinking the tRump family is perhaps considering getting into the major media market, just like how they buy up other types of companies and act like they have some sort expertise in the field. (wine, steaks, "universities&quot .

If Obama had said things like this about the press, I would have not taken it seriously. It is very petty and not much like a good president to accuse the media of the things this orange man has. If he wants to be believed (by anyone beyond his supporters) he should say "Station xyz has said this and here is the proof that that was not true". Nothing he is saying about the "fake media" has any substance to it, but his supporters are eating it up.

I wonder why they are going after CNN and not Msnbc. Mr. Sparkle Feb 2017 #15
It is curious. Msnbc has a lower audiance but I have not kept up on the ratings. Also, I think riversedge Feb 2017 #16
Msnbc is premium channel in so you often have to pay more to get it on cable. Mr. Sparkle Feb 2017 #18
