About 350 newspapers across America stand up to Trump

[signalmankenneth]

Good for them! This is a democracy not a damn dictatorship, a free press does not have to answer or cower to Trump!

About 350 newspapers all have one thing in common on Thursday: A statement supporting the free press and decrying President Trump's attacks against the media.

I do, Sunday paper, but it’s probably an age related habit. I get the weekly addition online.

I’m not sure how good of an idea this was by all these newspapers especially if they are trying to squash the meme that the media is on the left and conspiring against Trump. Seems to be playing right into Trumos wheelhouse and I could see him using this as ammunition for his base. Plus it’s highly unlikely that these editorials will influence anybody that already believes the media is working against Trump. It just seems like this may backfire.

This. They just proved what he has been saying all along, while at the same time denying it. You can't make this stuff up.

Should the Constitution protect the press Norah?
What good is an independent press anyway?

Absolutely it should protect the press. All I’m trying to say is that it doesn’t help to change the narrative that Trump is constantly telling his base.

Defending themselves and the fourth estate is conspiring? You are right it won’t change a Trump supporters mind, but I don’t think that was their goal. They know that isn’t going to happen.

Only amongst the rabidly emotional angstists who remain unaware that thanks to Clinton's deregulation of the FCC, half a dozen transnational corporations control the American media landscape.

When it’s an organized effort like this it doesn’t help to show that you are independent in my personal opinion. To most Trump supporters this is now 350 more fake news outlets.
