The Washington Post's publisher accused the Biden DOJ of "unprecedented" assault on the media.

Fred Ryan described an "escalation" in attacks on the First Amendment since Trump left office.

The publisher of The Washington Post accused the US Department of Justice of an "unprecedented assault on American news organizations" under President Joe Biden.

Fred Ryan said that government action against media outlets had worsened since President Donald Trump left office, despite Biden officials taking a much less combative approach to the news media in public.

Ryan noted in an opinion article that Biden had criticized the Trump administration for using "extraordinary measures to obtain subpoenas to secretly seize records of reporters at three leading U.S. news organizations."

The problem with communism is that, once they run out of enemies…

…they never really run out of enemies.

I remember when Obama/Biden wanted to put “news monitors” in the newsrooms. Even the NYT and WP balked at that.

When I was young I would have cared about this issue... newspapers and freedom of the press mattered.

Now I feel whatever they can do to the press and the white liberal ‘elite’ toadies working in the press is fine with me... they deserve it. Same attitude the press had for us.

First they came for conservatives and I wasn’t conservative, so I didn’t care... then they came for.... and came for and came for the press...
