*** Donald Trump misunderstands—or, more likely, simply opposes—the role a free press plays in a democratic society,” said Thomas Burr, the National Press Club president. ***

Free Press- free to lie, twist, edit, interpret prejudicially
anything and everything Trump says.

To quote the esteemed Diamond & Silk, “Don’t get it twisted.”

What does Thomas Burr have against telling the truth? The First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press. Inherent in that freedom is an obligation to be truthful in its reporting; otherwise, it is propaganda. That is NOT freedom of the press and is not protected.
