More than 100 newspapers will publish editorials decrying Trump's anti-press rhetoric
CNN ^ | August 11, 2018 | Brian Stelter

"The dirty war on the free press must end."

That's the idea behind an unusual editorial-writing initiative that has enlisted scores of newspapers across America.

The Boston Globe has been contacting newspaper editorial boards and proposing a "coordinated response" to President Trump's escalating "enemy of the people" rhetoric.

"We propose to publish an editorial on August 16 on the dangers of the administration's assault on the press and ask others to commit to publishing their own editorials on the same date," The Globe said in its pitch to fellow papers.

The effort began just a few days ago.

As of Saturday, "we have more than 100 publications signed up, and I expect that number to grow in the coming days," Marjorie Pritchard, the Globe's deputy editorial page editor, told CNN.

Oh my. Do they not understand they are all reinforcing his viewpoint that every newspaper is a propaganda tool for the left?

And so are his supporters.

If it walks like Fake News, and talks like Fake News, it must be Fake News. They are Drama Queens of the Fake News Business. They are full of Trump Voter Hate and Trump Hate.

“Trump actually fights back. That’s so UNFAIR!!!! WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!”

That these arrogant jackasses think themselves above criticism or that they pretend any criticism of their obvious bias and dishonesty an attack on the first amendment is a complete joke and is seen as such by the VAST majority of all Americans.

The Boston Globe? Owned by the Boston Red Sox, a baseball team. And the foremost Kennedy lovers.

Why were the Kennedys protected by the Globe all these years? Because the Irish snobs that run the Globe thought they were elite.

They became the hated Yankee corrupt elite their ancestors fought against. Sickening.

I am sure that they will all hurt Trump’s feelings and he will apologize. NOT! What would really scare the media would be if we all stood up and shouted ““I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!” Howard Beale, Network lunatic. Except, let’s make it about the Lying media, we are not going to take it anymore...

And soon the liberal media and newspapers will go the way of the blacksmith. And movie theaters will close down because of the rubbish produced by Hollywood. And liberal TV shows will lose sponsors because no one watches their rubbish. The future of America will belong to the ones who once again honor God, Country, and Liberty.

More than 100 newspapers will publish editorials decrying Trump's anti-press rhetoric

Also announced at the same time, William Kristol will run an article chastising Tump, the Wall Street Journal will run an anti-tariff editorial, Huffpo will run a pro-illegal immigrant story and Cosmopolitan will publish a special issue on "sex."

In other words, things will be exactly the same as they have been

“This just reinforces the belief that these papers are run by democrat hacks.”

You are exactly right. This is a different version of when Newt complained about being seated at the back of Air Force 1 during one trip with the Clintons. He was heavily criticized as a whiner.

The whiners are the press have maliciously destroyed many people and institutions with their words. They have a long history to criticize anyone opposed to them or their immoral, anti-Constitutional, anti-traditional American value beliefs... but for anyone who criticizes them, especially the President, is a “threat” to the freedom of the press.

Grow up “press” and stop your whining like big babies. This is America and everyone including the President is free to speak. You guys have been enjoying a lopsided control of the media ... until now. And it is easier for people to challenge your past monopoly and not take you too seriously anymore. Too bad you didn’t scrutinize BHO and HRC like you do Trump. You’d have a better reputation.
