More Than 100 Papers Sign On



But no, they’re not the enemy.

Quote:They’re all Jim Acosta now, it seems.

CNN’s Brian Stelter reports Saturday that more than 100 newspapers will publish editorials decrying President Trump’s anti-press rhetoric this coming Thursday:

The Boston Globe has been contacting newspaper editorial boards and proposing a “coordinated response” to President Trump’s escalating “enemy of the people” rhetoric.

“We propose to publish an editorial on August 16 on the dangers of the administration’s assault on the press and ask others to commit to publishing their own editorials on the same date,” The Globe said in its pitch to fellow papers.
Wow … we haven’t seen so many reporters coordinate like this since Ezra Klein’s lefty JournoList was dragged into the sunlight.

You know — we’re actually fine with that; after all, something’s going to go on that editorial page that day. To be honest, though, we’d be happier to flip through the pages and see follow-up reports on that school-shooting training compound led by a New York imam’s son in New Mexico, or on that final report on all the failures that allowed the Parkland mass shooting to happen, none of which was the fault of the NRA.

This could really damage trump's reputation with voters ages 75 and up.

And yet nothing about the censorship of Infowars.

So the press is co-ordinating to gang up on the President? Or, in other words, just another day at the office.

The press “should”attack Trump? How exactly would that be any different from the last year and a half? Let me get this straight—the great defenders of free speech—has a problem with Trump’s free speech right to call them on thier bias? Confusing times we live in. Frankly, the big bad press sounds like a bunch a tiddy babies who can dish out criticism—but are incredibly thin skinned when criticized. How about a third option—-how about trying real unbiased news journalism rather then the one sided liberal propaganda we see posing as journalism today. How about we give that a shot.

I think what you are really seeing here is panic. The old "coordinated liberal slant press attack" of years gone by would have already had this president forced to resign (for nothing more than not following liberal policies). The press has been unclothed as mere DNC mouth pieces reading from the morning DNC Pravda email blast. Nobody is buying "unbiased journalist just presenting the unvarnished facts" line anymore for the likes of the lying liberal "mainstream" media---and its killing them. Worse yet---Trump isnt the reason they lost the trust---he is just a symptom. The networks misused and abused the public trust---and now that they have lost that trust---they want to blame it on Trump---when the truth is---they have nobody to blame but themselves.
