How in THE HELL does the POTUS, much less Trump, have any authority over the media?

Its all he cares about. He is a lazy POS that doesn't care about America. He ran to stay out of jail. He didn't win because he is so qualified. He won because of lies and saying what everyone of the morons who believed him wanted to hear. WE ALL LOST.

He won bc he cheated.

See Election Truth Alliance for verifiable evidence that musk rigged the election for trump to win.

Every time I try to include a link my comment gets deleted.

Also see doc - vigilante Inc - details how over 4 million votes were lost due to suppression, interference and manipulation.

They're criminal and headed for prison of course they cheated. Kamala was meant to be president not him. How he's still infesting the WH with all this evidence against him, is beyond me.

Evidence has no power. Remember, he was convicted on 34 felony counts,

What happened to freedom of the press and freedom of speech? CouldnтАЩt they win in a court of law? 20 billion lawsuit? He has to be the most litigious person on earth! ItтАЩs always about money, power and his bloated ego. Never back down to ЁЯНКЁЯдб!!

Yes they could all band together and fight back. But many do not want to spend the money, lose their viewers on the right, or be involved in a protracted fight with Trump. They also feel empowered when so many people believe the BS they are peddling.

It works for Putin and other authoritarian regimes. Dictators he admires and wants to emulate.

Because the FCC is under the Executive Branch and they control the licensing, regulation, and oversight of the media that is on the air.

As far as the print media goes, he can't control that directly or indirectly. There are honest, factual, and centrally biased print media that you can follow on the Internet, or some independent posters who bring it all together for you, if you prefer.

I am one of those people who researches all the print media I can find, checks for factuality, etc. I may or may not add commentary, and you can read the headlines and skip the stories that are of no interest to you. I cover the U.S., Health, and International stories, as well as information, and other items of interest. I also have an entire section at the bottom every day that tells you how to be empowered, take action, fight back. If you are interested, take a look and spread it around as much as possible to add to the Independent media. My substack is always free and always will be!

Did you even read the article here? And have you heard of the FCC? Please take a civics course. The President has immense coercive power, especially when his autocratic party controls the other two branches of government.
