Well, there goes the last of their credibility. There was far less press freedom under Obama, but they refused to report on that, and there is more likely far less press freedom under Trudeau than they are letting on.

Holding the media accountable for being biased, dishonest, inaccurate, and participating in political collusion is not infringing on press ‘freedom’.

They had credibility? It’s a fully-managed arm of the Soros “Open Society Institute.”

Where were these f***os when Obama was prosecuting journalists for publishing leaks?

I wonder what Sharyl Attkisson has to say.

They as in reporters such as we see on MSM television, or those in certain leading print news media can thank themselves for their plight.

IF they are targeted entities then they exposed themselves to the missiles.

Reporters Without Borders wants journalism without accountability.

What nonsense. The MSM has never reported so negatively and inaccurately, and directed so many insults at a US president in the history of modern media. The press has never been freer. They just can’t stand it when a president sends well deserved criticism and even insults back in their direction.

Over the years RWB's private funding has come from groups and organizations such as Sanofi-Aventis, François Pinault, the Fondation de France, the Open Society Institute of George Soros, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, Benetton, and the Center for a Free Cuba.[93][97]

He doesn’t own them, either politically / ideologically or financially, and they discredit themselves ... so obviously Trump, who has put no reporters in jail but merely said bad things (which happen to be true) about them is to blame.

I blame CNN for being so single minded and in a conspiracy with the gov’t Deep State.

If the press wasn’t free they certainly couldn’t say what they are saying. I’m just sayin’.

“The Press” is nothing more than left wing political hacks pretending to be ‘journalists’... They’re not respected because they’re not respectable.

Reporters without Borders are full of shit. Ask Mark Steyn and a few other conservative writers and speakers about “freedom on the press” in Little Fidel Trudeau’s Canada.

Anti-free speech laws just a repressive and stupid as those in England, Germany and the Netherlands, plus most Moslem countries and every communist/socialist country.

Let’s rename this group of leftist pricks, “Reporters Without Brains”. I, for one, love telling the truth.

I challenge them to provide one example of a bill the president has signed in to law, or an executive order he has issued, that restricts freedom of the press. If they cannot do so, then they should STFU about it.

I thank Trump for the U.S. Drop in Press-Freedom ranking, because their freedom has become the freedom to distort and lie.
