Nearly half of Republicans think Trump should be able to close news outlets April 27, 2020 7:52 pm RL

The GOP isn’t just OK with fascism… they NEED it- it is their only way to maintain power… they will do all they can to silence the voices of dissent…

Nearly half of Republicans surveyed — 44 percent — believe the president should be able to shutter news outlets for “bad behavior,” according to a new poll released Tuesday.

The poll by Ipsos emphasizes the clear divide between party lines when it comes to the role of the media and its coverage of the Trump administration. Twenty-nine percent, nearly a third, of the more than 1,000 people polled said they believed the news media was the enemy of the American people, a phrase that was coined and popularized by President Donald Trump. That number jumps to 48 percent if you just examine Republicans surveyed.

Trump often rants about the press coverage he gets and has dubbed unflattering stories about him and his administration as “fake news.” While 68 percent of Democrats polled believe that reporters try their best to do honest reporting, only 29 percent of Republicans agreed, the poll shows.
