Newspaper editorials across U.S. rebuke Trump for attacks on press

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hundreds of U.S. newspapers on Thursday launched a coordinated defense of press freedom and a rebuke of President Donald Trump for denouncing some media organizations as enemies of the American people.

The Boston Globe and the New York Times took part along with more than 350 other newspapers of all sizes, including some in states that Trump won during the 2016 presidential election.
=======================================================
It's about time that the free press push back against the despotic bully who wants to destroy them before they reveal the truth about him & Russia.

How odd, I thought they did this every day of the week already.
 

Here's a similar NYT piece from 2016 that covers the same set of facts about Obama in perhaps greater detail.

But apparently the press chose to "forgive and forget" simply because Obama didn't openly vilify them-- and maybe to some extent because they didn't want to be accused of racism against American's First Black President.

Trump has been dishonest about many things, but he's actually quite forthright about declaring verbal war on the press, in contrast to the gambit of actually using political measures against the press in a stealthy fashion.
