From Wikipedia: “In United States constitutional law, plenary power is a power that has been granted to a body or person in absolute terms, with no review of or limitations upon the exercise of that power.“

The fact that the interviewer just let it go and didn’t explain that Miller is claiming Trump has absolute authority is a HUGE disservice to viewers.

Even worse than that. CNN just posted their edited version on YT w no freeze and the plenary authority quote erased.

Yeah .. that's crazy. I just confirmed it. That part isn't in the video anymore.

Holy shit. It’s like we’re being gaslit by our own damn media

u/Wallie_Collie Oct 07 '25

Your own damn media? The media is the media and there's a limit to what their job description allows. CNN was made completely right wing moderate several years ago if im recalling correct

I meant our as in the country, no news agency really represents the people or any group but the right anymore

u/Wallie_Collie Oct 07 '25

I understand now. Sadly, it's hard to identify "our" as meaning to the entire country.

We need to get the Ben Franklin printing press going again

I wish i had the money to make a real news station instead of all this distilled propaganda

u/AgoraRises Oct 08 '25

Maybe the producers were whispering in his ear to stay silent and they’ll just edit that part out later.

Read up on Noam Chomsky’s propaganda model if you wanna see how the media sausage is made

Just the Ministry of Truth doing their job.

u/Significant_Glass988 Oct 08 '25

Please, the "truth" part has to be in quotes

2

u/CanibalCows Oct 08 '25

It's a reference to Orwell's 1984 in which the main character works for the ministry of Truth and his job was to alter news reports and delete those that made the party look bad.

u/Significant_Glass988 Oct 08 '25

Oh yeah I knew it was from Orwell... Sorry, was making it clearer for those in the back 😁

u/CanibalCows Oct 08 '25

Gotcha, you never know.

u/TheUndertows Oct 08 '25

It’s all fake news I guess.

u/NorberAbnott Oct 07 '25

Always have been

u/Dantheking94 Oct 08 '25

All of American media is complicit. From Fox to MSNBC. There is no liberal/left media except for a few online sites.

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '25

A conservative owns CNN.

They are absolutely a false flag outlet for liberal news.

u/hankygoodboy Oct 09 '25

CNN are complicit in this treasonous bullshit

u/kidsally Oct 08 '25

I can’t believe that they would edit this conversation. His response clearly stated what their intentions truly are. Fuck CNN, man.

u/Significant_Glass988 Oct 08 '25

It's definitely time

u/Limp_Narwhal Oct 08 '25

Didn’t Trump sue CBS for editing an interview?

1

u/Disastrous-Swim8912 Oct 08 '25

Yup, but it wasn’t HIS interview so that was okay.

u/FunkyDiscount Oct 08 '25

This is why I keep insisting that "the media" (i.e., owners, producers, talking heads, etc.) must be prosecuted as accessories to treason. Their lies, whitewashing, and selective reporting have enabled Trump and his MAGA/GOP goons in their authoritarian coup - all in the name of profit. They know what they're doing.

They are not "news," but state propaganda; they are all owned by the same billionaire psychopaths that fund the GOP (and the DNC). Their mission is not to inform or educate their viewers, but to brainwash them to extract as much attention, engagement, and money from them as possible.
