I don't agree with that statement. Thank you for pointing that out.
Haha, well I don't doubt that there ARE journalists and even entire networks or publications that push an agenda. How many individuals within journalism are affected by it/are like this, it's impossible to say. But SOME, sure. Would I say the whole industry? No.
When Trump's mantra and lies of "fake news" is picked up by autocrats and dictators and is used to suppress journalists and press freedoms in foreign lands, is that not limiting and abridging press freedom?
Are not Trump's words and threats against the press nothing but an attempt to stifle the press?
Of course it is.
NO link of any law/reg/EO that abridges press/speech.
Didn't think you had anything, minus standard hysterics. Got it.
The Trump war on truth, facts and journalists is having an effect on our press freedoms.
When you have a President who hates facts, truth and being held accountable and "psyco"phantic supporters who could care less about truth, is it any wonder freedom of the press is under siege.
The US has lost its position as a beacon of freedom. Trump has dimmed the light of freedom here and abroad.
Just what are these scores supposed to mean, anyway? I saw no explanation of their metrics. Anyone can manipulate statistics to show anything they want.
Just click on the link provided in the O/P and you will see headers for Methodology, Analysis, among others explaining the rationale.
Reporters without Borders is a highly respected org. It should be illuminating that these reporters are comparing experience of both ends of reporting the freedom of gathering the facts and the freedom of reporting them publicly.
It's not a pretty picture at either end.
You might also be interested in reading their RSF Initiative to combat "disinformation" contained on their home site. They do not have an "Anti-American" agenda.

What a joke, Trump has opened the door to freedom of expression. No one has been stopped from expressing disapproval of Trump have they....that was rhetorical because that's all the media does.

UGH... The only reason why the press is slipping is because they have been pounding the anti Trump Russia Russia Russia drum for too long.
I have lost all respect for the mass media because they pick and choose the stories they want to highlight while ignoring that make members of the Left look bad. They are reporting fake news.
It is not Trump's fault but we can give credit to Trump for exposing the media for what they are. Shills of the Left.

We see and know what a shill or stooge is. They are the cult following socialist Democrats to remove individual choice and freedoms and promoting the one voice collective.
