The Free Press

For John, BLUF:  I think the Presslooks down on half the population, the half that voted for Candidate Trump.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is David Burge (@iowahawkblog):

If people who think the press is the enemy can't be persuaded by 350 identical newspapers editorials, I guess I there's no hope for them

Here is the original Old Gray Lady tweet:

NYT Opinion
@nytopinion In response to a call from the @BostonGlobe, more than 200 newspapers big and small, including this one, are speaking up in defense of America’s #FreePress. bostonglobe.com/freepress

It appears the Press leaders seem to think the First Amendment is in jeopardy.  On the other hand, while worried about Press Freedom, the Press seems to not worry about Free Speech.  Antifa is free to restrain free speech, but the President isn't free to question the motives of the Press?

Maybe the November election will cause a refocusing.  Or maybe not.
