The Boston Globe is calling on newspapers across the country to publish editorials taking a stand against President Trump’s repeated attacks on the media.
The Associated Press reported Friday that the Globe is calling for the editorial boards of other newspapers to publish editorials on Aug. 16 denouncing the Trump administration's "dirty war against the free press."
Marjorie Pritchard, the deputy managing editor of the Globe who oversees the paper’s editorial page, told the AP that dozens of newspapers have already signed on to join the coordinated effort, including larger metropolitan daily newspapers and smaller publications.
The move comes days after the president ramped up his attacks on the news media, to which he has referred multiple times as the “enemy of the people.”
Trump, on Sunday, sought to further discredit the press, saying in an early morning tweet, "They can also cause War.”
"The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it’s TRUE," he wrote. "I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!"
The president has feuded with the media since the campaign trail, deriding coverage of himself that he views negatively as “fake news.”
Did the Globe miss the meeting in 2016 when the rest of the media decided to do this?
“Let’s all get together and coordinate a protest against Trump’s saying that we all get together and coordinate a protest.” Right.
Who is going to read them?
Domestic enemies of America on full display.
Wouldn’t that be…wait for it…
Collusion!
Thus proving that they are not a “Free” Press.
With people dumping subscriptions like they carry the plague, I’m not too worried about what you say. Your entire paper is one big editorial page which has been anti-Trump from the day he announced his candidacy, and we’ve seen how much people listened to you then. My guess is that it will be even less now.
In short...prove Trump is right (again)
“Let’s all get together and coordinate a protest against Trump’s saying that we all get together and coordinate a protest.”
That sounds like collusion.
LOL, I have not read a newspaper in 20 years

Yes because editorials and enforcements meant so much in 2016.
Decaying corrupt industry flailing about trying to believe it is above criticism.
Trump hasn’t threatened the Press in any way. Journalists aren’t being jailed... papers aren’t being shut down, voices aren’t being silenced.
He’s simply criticized you and for the most part justly so! The fact you believe you shouldn’t be criticized shows how corrupt you are.
How would that look any different from what they are currently doing?
And they’re doing this for the good of the American people?
