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.

who’s buying that crap?
I don't believe it is violent but it certainly is anti-press unless Trump approves of it.

Garbage. Anyone who saw todays White House briefing would have seen that the free press is alive and well. No different that it was 5 or 50 years ago.

If Trump's mantra and lies about fake news, his cynical attacks on the media, his attacks on reporters, his lies and his aversion to the truth do not concern you, then nothing will.

The press prints whatever the hell they want, are you suggesting Trump should not exercise his freedom of speech to call them out when he feels wronged?

Look, the press treated Obama with kid gloves for his entire administration. They have been after Trump since the day he took office. Granted he has antagonized them but that's no excuse for the constant negative coverage.

You mean with Sarah Sanders? Where is Trump? Why is he so afraid of the press? Sanders has lost all credibility.

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.
