... and the Donald would be in a lot of trouble from our incessant whining if anybody still read our rags ...

"The dirty war on the free press must end."
That's the idea behind an unusual editorial-writing initiative that has enlisted scores of newspapers across America.
The Boston Globe has been contacting newspaper editorial boards and proposing a "coordinated response" to President Trump's escalating "enemy of the people" rhetoric.
"We propose to publish an editorial on August 16 on the dangers of the administration's assault on the press and ask others to commit to publishing their own editorials on the same date," The Globe said in its pitch to fellow papers.
The effort began just a few days ago.
As of Saturday, "we have more than 100 publications signed up, and I expect that number to grow in the coming days," Marjorie Pritchard, the Globe's deputy editorial page editor, told CNN.

Just confirms Trump is on target.
100 papers owned by a far smaller number of progressive enemedia companies.
Whoopee.
Printing these editorials on the obit page would garner substantially greater readership.
The Colluding Coven known as Journolist strikes again!

I’d be interested in seeing the combined circulation figs for the 100 papers...
Those are 100 papers that are confirmed to oppose the country and Constitution.
Are they trying to lie and say they are not printing Fake News? It is going to be hard to restore credibility, especially when their hatred for Trump voters gives off a terrible smell.
Complaining about the accusation of spreading false news in much easier than stopping the spreading of false news.
Boycott ALL newspapers on August 16.
Don’t buy ‘em, don’t hit their web sites, for just that day.
Methinks.
You have a good point there. With our local rag, the obits is the first place I head, then maybe the classifieds.
When they’ve figured out how to propagandize those I’ll quite looking at it all together.
...just to confirm the premise.
This just reinforces the belief that these papers are run by democrat hacks.
These so-called “press” organizations are nothing more than clones of Pravda. They do the bidding of George Soros and the democrat Politburo.
So by all means, go ahead and out yourselves. This will show who exactly is the enemy of the people.
And here I thought the media considered collusion to be a bad thing.....
Did the unfair critism include baseless accusations of the press colluding to write editorials pushing the same message?
No conspiracy here to overturn the last election, these people are truly amazing.
In other words, things will be exactly the same as they have been for the past two years.
Boston Globe fake front page from April 2016, projecting what April 2017 under Trump will be like. According to them, the Dow would sink to 10,000
They were wrong on nearly every count.
...just to confirm the premise.
Conspiring to decry someone who accuses them of conspiracy... they are now stealing Sideshow Bob's material.
