A Free Press Needs You

UPDATES BELOW:


Like a good dictator wannabe, Generalissimo Trump has called the media the "enemy of the people." The media has hit back with hundreds of independently written editorials on why that is a lie and how dangerous it is for a POTUS to incite people to believe it. 

Trump's vicious attack on the media is unprecedented in modern American history, and it will not stand. Only a coward and a weak leader engages in undermining one of America's foundational rights, freedom of the press. That freedom means the press and other media do not fear reporting and editorializing on the American president.

Donald J. Trump is a simpering coward who cannot tolerate criticism and wishes the media to be nothing more than a syncophantic parasite for him to preen and prance in front of so it records his fake magnificence. Instead the media have reported what he says and does, and that enrages him because it exposes him for the petty, ignorant dictator wannabe that he is.

Thomas Jefferson once said that if he had to make a choice of having a government without newspapers or newspapers without government, he would choose the latter.

I agree. Would that America had only the media and not the scourge of this hideousTrump presidency.

A FREE PRESS NEEDS YOU.
