back to article Trump's CNN tantrum could delay $85bn AT&T-Time Warner merger

The very public war of words – and GIFs – between the President of the United States and CNN could pose a threat to the $85bn merger between AT&T and Time Warner. Apparently, White House advisors have been looking at using approval of the merger as a "potential point of leverage" over the news network. While the two media …

    Another faked up poll, this time specifically geared to "prove" CNN is good and Trump is bad. So what else is new?

    Besides, CNN needs no help delegitimizing themselves. Their constant barrage of vicious attacks is becoming embarrassing, not to mention damaging to the careers of those who work there.

      The problem is, the press doesn't need to attack Trump, he makes such a mess of things himself, especially how he reacts to "the press".

      He is supposed to be the President of the United States of America and should be above such things, instead he acts like a spoilt bully of a child, making himself a laughing stock around the World.

      Usually an adult, and especially someone in his position, would not demean themselves with such childish acts, they would rebuff any criticism with real facts or be man enough to admit when he has made a mistake.

      Maybe somebody should inform him, that he is now President and he should start acting like one.

      Ayup, the media is largely an echo chamber - they only listen to themselves and therefore think they rule the roost. However, as O'l Donald likes to point out: He is the president, not them.

      It is true that almost half of USAins don't like Donald, but the other slightly larger half like him just fine and the media companies need to accept that if they want to survive, else they will lose a good chunk of their readers, since the constant wailing and railing against the Donald is getting extremely old and boring to everyone.

        Did you just make up those figures? Or are you just attempting to provide "alternative facts"?

        63 million people voted for Trump, out of a possible 250 million. Trump got the vote of around one quarter of Americans and 2.8 million less than Clinton. There is no "slightly larger half" that like him.

        Are you suggesting that he's gotten more popular since the election? Most surveys suggest the opposite.

        But I guess this is all fake news?

Those who do the same at Breitbart get a bonus, they knowingly publish stories that are completely false because they don't do journalism, they do spin.

            You can threaten to sue anyone, but that doesn't mean you will win. Or that you will even sue - Trump is notorious for threatening to sue and then never following through. He knows the press reports the threat but doesn't bother to follow up and see if it was ever filed, so in the public's mind "Trump sued them".

            Of course what works when you're just another big NY developer doesn't work when you're president - the press gives you a lot more scrutiny so they have followed up and seen how empty his threats really are.

                I recall CNN and their ilk repeatedly stating that all who doubted Obama's two-year-delayed "certificate of live birth" were certifiable. But that's all they said about it. No actual questioning was allowed. Apply lips to Obama's arse, rinse, repeat.

                It's strangely similar to the way the CAGW debate was morphed into "settled science" while the nation was sleeping. That's just how leftists roll. Strongly assert something you wish were true, then simply claim you have already proven your case, and refuse to debate it at all while labeling your former debating opponents as "crazy."

I have to point out that the American political system has a single point of failure, and it has finally been demonstrated clearly and concisely. What you fail to realize here is that the vast majority of the folks on this site would be crucifying clinton just as vigorously for her failings, and she would by now have been run over by at least a dozen stupid issues and would have stormtoopered her way out of them as she did during the campaign.

          BOTH parties in the united states no longer have any representation of the people in mind. EVER. The Citizens United decision relegated anyone who is NOT a corporation to the status of SLAVE. Which makes the BLM folks the only ones running around with eyes open. But only barely. And they have no idea how to effectively market themselves so that flies about as well as a lead balloon.

          You in your righteous indignation commit all the sins of which you accuse your lefties. In the meantime, you give up more rights, more freedoms, and more individuality every time the money rotates. Good luck.

              So Congress needs to be protected? Liberals are so ignorant and so freaking dumb. It's for you - you cuck; it's for us; it's for our protection! But if you love CNN so much - keep watching them and be like them.

      "Fox News used to claim it was 'Fair & balanced'"

      I've just spat out my cornflakes. I can't believe the words "Fox News" could ever be used in a sentence with either "Fair" or "Balanced".

      I need to go for a lie down.

      Fox News.

      Is that the one that can't say China, without putting the word Communist in front?

        Signposting jokes is naff, though, not to mention I always found the joke icon a bit too "Colin Hunt" for my taste. (I think it's that "trying-way-hard-to-be-fun" (and oh-so-90s) typeface).

        On the other hand, you can never be sure which side of Poe's law something is on otherwise...

        Edit: ...aaaaand Poe's Law it was. I just looked through the guy's comment history and realise what I assumed *was* meant to be a joke was likely serious. :-O

    If this story is true

    And if Trump's administration actually acted on it in any way (i.e. communicating to Time Warner that the merger will be denied unless CNN goes easier on Trump) rather than just talking about it internally as an option, it would be a violation of the law, and become a matter for Mueller's team to investigate.

    that time of year

    It's beginning to look a lot like...

    media censorship

      Re: that time of year

      Media censorship -- yeah - too right. But the cucks here - the boot licking - cooperate slaves - think the Reg is right on the issue. Trolling should be protected - but the Reg seems to be saying - "oh - Trump was having a tantrum" - WTF!!!

      just pretend its Obama going after Fox News for the same reasons. then it'll be all okay.

    interesting

    when Trump goes after a media outlet, the entire world screams "democracy is ending, the free press is under attack!"

    yet they all seem to forget that under identical circumstances, but in press releases and interviews rather than Twitter, the former US President went after spintacular hit pieces and the network carrying them as well. Fellow travellers echoed this and supported "controls" that the then-President suggested.

    Then it was "a good thing" now it's "the worst thing". From the same *individuals* and organizations who actively supported one and actively attack the other.

    the only actual change is the Target and the Sh*tslinger's party alliance.

    More fake news

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/business/economy/obama-corporate-monopoly.html?mcubz=0

    Trump was opposed to it on monopoly grounds before the election even took place.

    Obama used the same to block Anthem and Cigna, Aetna and Humana, and Sprint & T Mobile.

    Here is the speech from Obama, endorsing Trump's plan to block the merger: http://www.antitrustinstitute.org/files/aai-%20Presidential%20campaign%20-%20Obama%209-07_092720071759.pdf

    Muh CNN!

    Best commentary on the dumbass attack suffered by CNN actually on RT:

    The Hunt for Reddit User: CNN proves it can do investigative journalism

    RT is quite like El Reg: Between the sponsored content and lines fed by the ministry of goodthink, there is stuff one can agree with.
