Trump attacks Rachel Maddow, MSNBC and CNN [1]

Rachel Maddow has been doing such a good job, like with her stories on Pete Hegseth. Unfortunately, that didn't work because Hegseth was confirmed Friday night, as feared, with a vote by JD Vance.
Last night, she ripped into Trump's order halting all public communication output about health information. Just in time for the bird flu.
I thought he'd be on her case after her Hegseth segments. Nope. He must have been watching last night and had to Truth Social it.
If he doesn't like a show, personality, commentator, reporter or news writer, he has to attack them anyway he can. Notice that he didn't call Rachel a liar. Just that she has horrible ratings. Just like you had on the Apprentice, Donald, after making all those racist statements about Mexicans.
Then he makes a veiled threat about her going off the air. His problem is that unlike ABC, MSNBC is cable only, and the FCC doesn't have any access to harm them. Only the parent company NBCUniversal, which has licensed broadcast stations, can he affect directly. And you could tell people to boycott Universal movies and their theme parks. But, he threatens MSNBC with sudden death, anyway.
CNN, with one of our favorites, Jim Acosta, who tears into Trump's nominees and front men and confront them with their lies, is at the bottom. I'm sure he meant ratings again. CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. So we're looking at movies and cable content. All he could do would be to tell people to boycott Warner Bros. movies.
"They are the ENEMY of the people!" That's a Hitler sentence if I ever heard one. Or a communist dictator. Or a fascist. He's all three in one.
I suppose it's better that he's watching MSNBC at night than sitting down and signing more executive orders. Specifically mentioning Rachel means that she's doing a great job. Not losing her cool and getting under his skin. Which is exactly what we want to happen. With his eating habits and lack of sleep he might just do himself in soon.
