      Not gonna sit back and think about the people who are with you on this crusade against reporters, who make practically no money and risk getting sued into permanently unlivable conditions if they get stories wrong?

      I’m for real: when was the last time you spent time with a reporter in a newsroom who was doing anything other than interviewing you? I think it’s important you come by and see the process.

      You’re missing the point & living in a bubble of self-righteous sanctimony. The public doesn’t trust you. This was true *before* the last election & only got worse. Don’t believe me? Run your own poll …

      You're very smart so I want you to think about this for a second. Do you think it's in the interest of powerful people to A: support a free press that exposes their lies, or B: tear it down so their lies are easier to tell? Now ask yourself why the polls would look bad.

          Pointing out to aspiring journo & Rodin spokesmodel, Josh Top, who thinks public polls are controlled by “powerful people” that the media is *owned* by same. Anyone who thought this was anti-Semitic is just revealing their inner bigot. The context is very clear.

          1. Disavow the egregious anti-semitism in more than half of the replies to this thread. 2. Hand your twitter account over to a crisis PR person and never, ever tweet again. Never.

          Look if 45 can joke about raping women, mock disabled folks and joke about killing people on 5th Ave and still get to be presidenr then I'm cool with EM venting his frustrations. EM has done more for our country than 45 has that's for sure.

          Yeah I saw some of those nutjobs. But he is pointing out corps own the media. And he prob didn't even realize that statement could be seen as antisemitic. I didn't--I immediately thought of corps. Not religion.....

          Who owns the five biggest media companies in the U.S.? Who owns the big film studio's in Hollywood and who owns facebook and google. Very easy to find out and very easy to find out who controls the media.

          Maybe this is why he's anti media? He says some things in context that make absolute sense. Then y'all try and twist it to make it something it's not, there's no news, just stories.
