    Almost 350 news outlets to publish editorials denouncing Trump's 'dirty war' on press


    Participation comes after a push organized by the Boston Globe to run coordinated editorials against Trump’s attacks on the media



    Nearly 350 news organizations are set to publish editorials on Thursday pushing back against Donald Trump’s attacks on the media and defending freedom of the press.

    The publications are participating in a push organized by the Boston Globe to run coordinated editorials denouncing what the paper called a “dirty war against the free press”.

    As of Wednesday morning, 343 publications had pledged to participate, said Marjorie Pritchard, the Globe’s deputy managing editor overseeing the opinion page.

    The Guardian has also joined the effort and has published an editorial alongside outlets around the United States.

    “Donald Trump is not the first US president to attack the press or to feel unfairly treated by it. But he is the first who appears to have a calculated and consistent policy of undermining, delegitimising and even endangering the press’s work,” the Guardian’s editorial says.

    Trump has routinely attacked the press as a whole as well as individual reporters, labeling factually accurate reports “fake news” and calling the news media “the enemy of the people”.



    The Globe’s opinion page put out the call for a mass response last week.


    “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 pitch to editors said.

    The hundreds of newspapers and sites participating include the New York Times, Chicago Sun Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and Miami Herald. A host of smaller papers from cities and towns around the country are also joining in.

    350 media attacks on the sitting President..

    Not reporting news,, Attacks on the Elected President just for being elected..
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    If more people ignored the fake CIA media they would lose in the end.
    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

    Years ago, when both the Boston Globe and the New York Times printed up
    the PENTAGON PAPERs, two different groups of people made those decisions.
    Today, one small group of people is making THE decision here. Small nitpick.

    And all this time, I thought people were calling libertarians, libtards.

    This gets so confusing....

    Libtards are the Hollywood leftwing lunatics that hire armed security guards to escort them to the anti-gun rally.

    And the people that champion said libtards.

    Lets rephrase this. Do think of BUD. Think of Bud-Lite.
    Think of COORs. Think of Coors-Lite. Picture the auld
    Left-Wing Bawwstun Globe as being like a microbrew
    that is more earthy, but it now is either Coors-Lite or
    Bud-Lite becuz decisions now must loop thru NYC!!!

    what policy established by the Trump administration is undermining the free press?
    I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

    So I have to wonder, according to the media, who is supposed to call them out when they are delivering fake news?

    When I was a kid in school, I was told, "the United States is better than the Soviet Union, because their media is government controlled and ours isn't."

    I grow up only to find our media is also controlled by somebody and if it's not the government, then who but some folks with money, trying to control the government?

    Another feather in Trump's hat. With one well-delivered snark he started the fake news ball a-rolling.

    Or is it 348 papers, not 349?

    The NY Times is the Boston Globe.

    I applaud the papers, we can't pick and choose which of the Bill of Rights we want to protect, it's all or nothing. Yes the press has screwed up badly over the years. We clearly saw how the MSM gladly accepted everything the Bush Jr. admin fed them on Iraq other than a few exceptions. I will never forgive the MSM for their treatment of Ron Paul, especially Fox for going out of their way to shaft him on results. However I think they should continue to exist and question everything. Too bad investigative journalism isn't what it used to be.

    Trump is right and it is not a violation of the 1st Amendment to call the FakeNews enemies of the people, get back to me when he actually abridges freedom of the press.

    I've seen two posts from you this fine eventide. The first is your argument for the Tranny Govenor and now this... applauding the "papers" (AKA our Corrupt and Evil to The Core MSM).

    I don't think I care for the cut of yer jib, mista.

    This is hilarious.

    The Monolithic State Media created Donald Trump, by giving him, what amounted to, free press, in the run up to 2016, in what is now recognized as a monolithic effort to set up a "ringer" candidate to be easily knocked over by Hillary.

    They systematically ignored and mocked Ron and Rand and others, who presented a clear alternative to Trump and to the same old same old establishment line politicians.

    And then he wins, and the press responds to complaints of being monolithically opposed to Trump for the last two years, by?

    Engaging in monolithic opposition to Trump.

    $#@!s...be careful what you wish for.

    Hope they all go bankrupt.
