More: "You're making Vladimir Putin proud. State run Media," political commentator Brian Krassenstein wrote.

"Why would I let your state media track my data?" another user asked. A third wrote: "I'd rather launch my phone into the sun than install a government propaganda app."

Other critics responded with memes, including one showing Trump's face superimposed on that of a North Korean state television broadcaster.

This is more transparent than an administration getting posts deleted on social media sites, and silencing scientists, or government official plotting with journalists.

Nothing wrong with the government trying to counter some narrative that is in the public domain, at least you know its the government.

I am really surprised that Lumpers that would be influenced by journalist given access to people in the government without saying they were, are concerned about an explicit government outlet of information.

Wild.

Thanks for sharing Trump's talking points.

Yes yes. State run media is always 100% accurate.

It's said so itself.

If you don't believe them, just ask them.

1Nut knows what State Run Media is like where he's from, and that it supports a Corrupt Crony Capitalist faux-Communist Regime that will be demanding his DNA when he retires there.

He just thinks that showing his magnificent mind can own him some libs around here who have the temerity (look it up #2 Son) not to recognize his said magnificence.
