"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.

If a tree falls in the forest, and there is no one to hear it
Its because it landed on top of the demonrats and killed them.

I love this. The Fake News and solidarity.
Maybe now they will understand they are worthless.
It’s time for them to stop trying to shape opinions.

I did some channel surfing and watched bits and pieces of the Sunday morning news shows, which I have not done in two years, and was a bit surprised at the level of Trump hatred I saw. There was not the least attempt at objective reporting.
The MSM talking heads have tried to situate themselves as being duty bound, for the good of the country, and to have any credibility at all, to disparage Trump.
The way they establish their bonafides is to spit venom at Trump.

I suppose the leftie liberals in the United Methodist Church will have a sermon on this. Or a Wednesday evening study group.

Well, genius, did you notice that I said I had not watched those shows for TWO YEARS and that I was a bit taken aback at the blatancy of their hate?
