Hundreds Of Newspapers Denounce Trump's Attacks On Media In Coordinated Editorials
WBUR ^ | 8/16/18 | James Doubek

Posted on 08/16/2018 3:46:24 AM PDT by Libloather

More than 300 news publications across the country are joining together to defend the role of a free press and denounce President Trump's ongoing attacks on the news media in coordinated editorials publishing Thursday, according a tally by The Boston Globe.

The project was spearheaded by editorial staff at the Globe, who write, "This relentless assault on the free press has dangerous consequences. We asked editorial boards from around the country – liberal and conservative, large and small – to join us today to address this fundamental threat in their own words."

Editorials are typically written by opinion writers and are considered separate from organizations' news coverage. NPR, for example, has a separate "opinion" category.

Trump can take comfort in the thought that you know you're over the target when you're taking flak.

Beyond the damage done at home, Trump's verbal attacks on reporters — blasting them as 'disgusting' and 'sick' and 'among the most dishonest human beings on earth' — put journalists around the world at greater risk.

They say that as if it were a bad thing...

Aside from that, expressing the truth is a bulletproof defense.

Just sayin'

Hundreds of papers owned by how many companies?
Just curious.

Heh heh...

As Jonathan Gruber the Wise told us a while ago...

We can never overestimate the ignorance and stupidity of the American voter.
Or Congress, for that matter.

The Main Stream Media are today known as THE ECHOES!!!

The MSM, as truth in advertising, should be renamed Insane DNC talking Points Echo #1, Insane DNC talking Points Echo #2, Insane DNC talking Points Echo #3... etc, etc.

Let the MSM try to claim that, that is inaccurate and unfair...

It's freakingly demonstrable and documented!

All of the papers conspiring in a deluded collusion.

Not one independent thought with any of them.

Nice
