Why are you acting like this is an unreasonable question? 48% of Trump supporters believe the press should not be allowed to say whatever they want. He just suggested stripping citizenship for flag desecration. We are very likely looking at the end of the Republic.
The press is
not aloud to say whatever they want. You can't report something that is untrue unless you want to be sued for slander, for example. (Obviously, there's a different standard we set for famous people). Ultimately, the jury decides what is slander and what isn't.
As for the press, Trump has been the most open and accessible candidate in history when it came to the media. He was constantly doing conferences, news interviews, and phone ins. And it was always himself going out there, not an army of consultants and operatives. For better or worse, Trump was completely upfront and unfiltered.
Clinton, on the other hand, had the most secretive presidential run in history - avoiding the media like a plague. I think she went something like a whole year without holding any press conference. Every interview she did was highly staged and she knew the questions before they were asked since the media coordinated with her. (as revealed through wikileaks).
Remember the first debate? Yeah, wikileaks reveled that Donna Brazile gave her the questions before the debate. (CNN only says one, but come on. Why stop there?)
The point is, that 48% is a reflection of just how GOD AWFUL the media industrial complex is. They are not journalists interested in the truth. They have become an isolated, incestuous arm of the liberal coalition who's main function is to create narratives that advance their political agendas (recent example; 'war on women', 'alt-right', 'fake news'). Literally +96% of the media endorsed Hillary in a country that elected Donald Trump as president. You couldn't get anymore disconnected than that.
There's a reason trust in the mainstream media is at record lows with 32%. And it's only
that high because of high liberal acceptance.
*BTW, Hillary also supported banning the desecration of the flag back in 2005. And for the record, as a Trump voter, I do not.
