These morons know that's unconstitutional, right?
Of course, a SCOTUS with Kavanaugh on it I'm sure could find a way to rationalize it.
Let him effing try. He won't know what hit him.

Amazingly the results showed that some percentage of GOPers and DEMs supported the crazy idea.
I did not look at the actual wording of the question.
"Even the pro-shutdown caucus shrinks when the question becomes more specific.
Overall, 13 percent say Trump should shut down mainstream news outlets like CNN, the New York Times and Washington Post. That's 23 percent of GOPers, 10 percent of indies and 8 percent of Dems.
A reasonable reaction by journalists would be to engage in a little self-reflection about these numbers. The more likely reaction is to dismiss those who challenge their right to exist as uninformed bozos."
"A reasonable reaction by journalists would be to engage in a little self-reflection about these numbers" that comment seems idiotic to me
"...to dismiss those who challenge their right to exist as uninformed bozos." this seems a very reasonable response to me,
What are your complaints about msm like NYT or WaPo?
Laurie,
Well, that comment was actually written by the FOX writer.
And given how little faith people have in the media, I do think they could do with some soul searching.
Personally I have no problem with WAPO or NYT. I just have to remember that their perspective is a bit Left of center.
Food for thought...
10 Reasons Why People Do Not Trust the Media
I mean you have Tribe Liberal bashing half the media as too Conservative...
And Tribe Conservative bashing half the media as too Liberal...
And we wonder why folks don't trust the media.
Now this makes sense to me...
Letter: Media must report both sides in order to gain the public's trust
If one side is demonstrably wrong, there is no reason, and it is often detrimental, to offer it up on equal footing to the correct side.
Moose
A few things.
First, one needs to distinguish between the editorial page versus the news gathering and reporting of a newspaper. The Wall Street Journal, for instance, has an excellent news gathering and reporting operation and an editorial page that often acts like it doesn't read what is in the rest of the paper.
Second, one of the major faults of the media in recent years has been what media professor Jay Rosen calls "the view from nowhere" -- that is, as Moose points out, that too often the media just acts a stenographer, writing down what each side tells it to say without putting any context around it and claiming that's "balance" and "objectivity". They take criticism from both sides as a badge of honor, instead of recognizing that maybe it means that everyone agrees they're doing it wrong.
“demonstrably wrong”?
Who gets to be the judge?
