YES!

If the press should not want to be known as the enemy, then it is time and past time they call for a truce with the Trump-Pence Administration.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but that does not translate directly word for word into freedom of the press. Personal opinions are just that, personal opinions. But transferred to the printed page, disguised as a “news story”, the “personal opinion” becomes propaganda, not easily answerable by anyone who lacks the same access to the printed word in a periodical publication.

The Trump-Pence Administration has accomplished many actions that either go unreported, or reported with a definite bias, alluding to sinister purposes, or omission of any number of salient facts that change the whole thrust and consequences of those actions.

“Unfair” does not begin to cover the transgressions of the mainstream media. “Hostile” may be a more accurate assessment of what it is they do.
