Mainstream Press Literally Cheers for Clinton During the Debate

Jesse Waters from the Bill O’Reilly Show wrote about his experiences in the off limits room reserved for the press.  None of the press were taking notes because it was unnecessary since they would be getting instructions from the Clinton campaign on what they are supposed to report.  Waters said that the reporters huddled in from of the TV, cheering openly every time Hillary spoke and groaning and booing every time Trump spoke.  They didn’t even pretend to be impartial.  That leads me to ask how Trump should reform the press during his presidency.

Some would say that Trump has no recourse because the constitution guarantees the right of a free press:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

There are a couple of loopholes large enough to drive Obama’s ego through.  Neither Trump or Congress has the right to dictate to the press what and how they report.  However, they could redefine say NBC from a press operation to an advocacy group.  Certainly, it would be no problem to prove that.  My suggestion is that they hold open hearings in a location that allows for a large audience to observe and broadcast nationally.  Force them to try to prove they are fair arbiters of the news.

Secondly, have the FEC (federal Election Commission) go after them for providing campaign contributions to Clinton.  It wouldn’t be hard to argue that their advocacy of Clinton should be considered a PIK.  (Payment in kind)  The government could then begin declassifying any use of the word news on their station and they can be forced to refer to themselves as an advocacy group.  This would also prevent them from being able to apply for press credentials.  They could also be charged for attempting to interfere in a presidential election.  Some could even be sent to prison in extreme cases.

Never again can these communists be allowed to try to sway an election through ridiculously biased reporting.
