After Trump wins the first thing he should do is issue an executive order requiring honest in reporting across all media. Then start purging the news shows, news papers and cable news channels of those scumbags who constantly lie to the American people. Freedom of the press only works if the press is honest

So, basically, you don't want a press, you want a party-controlled propaganda arm. And you've convinced yourself that that's what counts as "Freedom of the Press". The doublethink is strong with this one. Just seeing "purge" in the same sentence as "news" is WTF-worthy in my opinion.
So doing the same thing you claim democrat presidents want to do? Get rid of the news sources that don't agree with them. I mean we often hear that Democrats want to shut down am news radio, fox news and every conservative source and want to do it because they hate freedom and want to control us all. So you want Trump to do just that?
and maybe once he's purged all the existing news shows for 'dishonesty' he could start his own one.
Now though what to call it?
Maybe 'the voice of fate'
or the 'ministry of truth'
comeon i'm sure the rest of you can come up with better ones.
I think you mean if Trump wins.

How about: The Honest Voice of the True Patriots? Slogan: If we don't tell you, you don't need to know!
....unless, of course, they're YOUR pet liars...
We can just call it "Pravda".
1 it already exists but FOX gets to lie their asses off because they sued to be recognized as news entertainment rather than the factual journalism they try to present themselves as. Want them gone? Sweet.
2 Donald Trump can't go two interviews without lying about something, whether it's about his business, his campaign, or getting lewd phone calls from pop idols. I'm not even sure he's managed one. He'd be the first arrest in the wake of stricter enforcement.
So, you want to eliminate Fox News? Sweet! Me, too!
Just look at us, you and me- we agree on something!

Well, golly. Honest, real reporting sure would be swell. But I have a hunch that the Trumpets don't actually want honesty from the press. They just want FOX News, 24/7. Because reality has that liberal bias and all...
Yet, if a leftist leader does what you suggest Trump to do with the media, you would holler and scream about what a "fascist" that leader is being.
The cognitive dissonance is astounding.
Cool, so you'd probably end up closing down CNN, MSNBC, AND Fox News. And at the same point most every newspaper, and you'd probably end up banning the news in general. Except for Free Republic, or course!
@Kat
No dissonance. If a leftist/liberal/rational person were to do what's being proposed here, then they're eeeeeeevil facists trying to hide the truth about their foul and Satanic corruption. If a conservitard does it, it's all of the good, because OMIGERD JESUS AND LOOK AT THESE PUPPIES AREN'T THEY ADORABLE!
sipow: "After Trump wins the first thing he should do is issue an executive order requiring honest in reporting across all media. Then he should unite all media into Trump Media Corporation, TMC! TMC would be in control of all media, purging the news shows, newspapers, websites, radio stations and cable news channels of those scumbags who won't follow TMC regulations!!"
start purging the news shows, news papers and cable news channels

Umm, 1984 wasn't meant as a user's manual.
"Freedom of the press only works if the press is honest"
And who gets to decide what's "honest" and what isn't? Another fucking Trumpette that has absolutely no understanding of the principles that make any country great.
Proven to be the biggest liar ever in politics. And that's fucking saying something. But he takes control? I'm not casually saying Proven to be the biggest liar ever in politics, He's caught lying almost at every speech, even his supporters are beginning to worry and some are walking at the sheer volume of dishonest shit.
Who's gonna be his secretary of media? Palin or Nugent?
Sort yourself out America, even if Hillary were twenty times the bitch you people claim or twenty times a criminal /liar, she'd STILL be better. There is nothing honest about Trump.
There's a working theory building steam that Trumps base is made up of those who voted for W each time. Part Tea Party, part their next generation and part plain racist assholes. Remnants of the Tea Party folk showed up early, loud, fat and stupid as fuck. 'Merica!
The W factor is that they don't want to talk about him, pretend those years didn't happen and now totally distrust all government because of shit that never happened and we didn't vote that shit in anyway since it never happened. This shows up at every question about those years and the fallout of it, they can't bring themselves to say his name.
Or my personal theory that fits in, crash and burn it all and start all over, praise the Cattle Barons and pass the bullets Jesus.
Morons.
Another thing they don't get is that if Trump is elected he can't clean every level of government out to put 'his people' in. Obama woulda had an easy go if that were possible, and Cheneys boys would take him out if he tried.
so:
So what you mean is Right WIng controlled media, which is near absolute right now. The Free Republic would be getting the axe on it's record to date. And what would happen to Christian programming? Gotta go bitches.
If purging involves legal actions many could be labeled traitors and incarcerated.
Vlad Putain supports Donald Fart.
Are there any news agencies/media in Russia that openly criticise Putain, and Vlad publicly says 'I may disagree with what you say about me, but I defend to the death your right to say it'...?
(*Crickets chirp *)
...thought not.
"Private Eye" magazine: savagely satirises Conservative and Labour governments. You don't want to know what they're doing with Donald Fart in a mere comic strip, pal.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
