New York (CNN)I never in a million years thought I would be up here on stage appealing for the freedom and safety of American journalists at home. Ladies and gentlemen, I added the bits from candidate Trump as a reminder of the peril we face. I actually hoped that once President-elect, all that that would change, and I still do. But I was chilled when the first tweet after the election was about "professional protesters incited by the media."

Note to Journalists: The fix you are in is due to the choices each of you made.

This is what it looks like when liberal media realizes they’re irrelevant ...
To: RummyChick
LOLOL!!!
I love watching them squirm!
For years, generations, we’ve had to put up with their elitist crap.
About time they were called to taks for it.

What - they thought he would stop noticing and stating the Truth when he won? They really haven’t been paying attention.

It is funny how they always compare someone they do not like as a dictator while at the same time doing all they can to protect real dictators.
Journalist thy name is liar.

She’s behind the Facebook Firewall so I can’t comment on her article.
Perhaps that is a good thing.

He won by taking on the press. Why stop before the agenda is enacted?

The main “peril” faced by American “journalists” is losing their paycheck because their employers are big government leftwing advocates, not reporters of the news.

Journalism isn't facing an "existential crisis" at all. If anything, it has entered into an era when it has completely dominated our culture.
Because in the age of the internet and social media, everyone is a journalist.
I suspect THIS is the real reason for the all the hand-wringing and agonizing among these "old media" types.

The MSM is a case study in lack of accountability and ethics and they ponder why the demise.

Why is it so hard to report news rather than propaganda?
Investigate and report without obvious slant to one side or the other.
By all means keep an eye on Trump and the rest of the government, report what they say and do and the consequences thereof straight and don't make stuff up.
Do your Job!
You might actually like seeing the world without blinders.
