"Donald Trump will break up the new media conglomerate oligopolies that have gained enormous control over our information, intrude into our personal lives, and in this election, are attempting to unduly influence America's political process," said Peter Navarro, senior economic advisor to Trump Campaign.
Navarro said the very corporations that have gained from shipping America's factories and jobs offshore are the very same media conglomerates now pushing Hillary Clinton's agenda.
"NBC, and its Clinton megaphone MSNBC, were once owned by General Electric, a leader in offshoring factories to China. Now NBC has been bought by Comcast, which is specifically targetingthe Chinese market - even as Comcast's anchors and reporters at MSNBC engage in their Never Trump tactics," he alleged.
"AT&T, the original and abusive "Ma Bell" telephone monopoly, is now trying to buy Time Warner and thus the wildly anti-Trump CNN.
Donald Trump would never approve such a deal because it concentrates too much power in the hands of the too and powerful few," he said.
"Amazon, which controls the Washington Post, profits from the flow of illegally subsidized foreign products through its distribution channels. Lower costs mean higher margins -- no matter if bad trade deals lead to massive unemployment in America," he added.
"This oligopolistic realignment of the American media along ideological and corporate lines is destroying an American democracy that depends on a free flow of information and freedom of thought," Navarro said.
And then people aren't attending anything or John Lewis
The pool report that Trump has removed a bust of Martin Luther King junior, he noted, is part of the same pattern.
"I think over and over again there's this constant attempt to undermine his credibility and the movement that he represents," Spicer said.
"We want to have a healthy dialogue, not just with you but the American people because he's fighting for jobs, he's fighting to make this country safer", he said.
But when you're constantly getting told that can't be true, we doubt that you can do this, this won't happen, and that's the narrative when you turn on television every single day, it's a little frustrating," he said.
