Scott Dworkin - Crybaby Trump Throws Tantrum, Sues Another Media Outlet [View all]

Last night, Donald filed a lawsuit against The Des Moines Register, its parent company Gannett, and their former long-time pollster Ann Selzer. He’s accusing them of “brazen election interference,” over a poll that showed him losing in Iowa just days before November 5th.

To be clear, it wasn’t election interference—it was just a bad poll.

But corporate media ran with the story, and almost every major news org parroted Trump’s claims in their headlines. They don’t talk about how frivolous and ludicrous it is, or how Donald continues to threaten the media. Just that he filed a lawsuit.

The precedent this sets is horrific. Trump is getting a pass to weaponize lawsuits, silence critics, and tighten his grip on the Press. Donald’s threats alone are enough to ruin a journalist's career and deter others from publishing anything remotely critical of him.
