In recent days, the President has ramped up his attacks against the press, tweeting that NBC and other news organizations should lose their licenses and saying it was “disgusting” that (in his mind) the press can write whatever it wants.

We also recommend reading a piece from Eric Black in today’s MinnPost: Contrary to Trump’s assertions, reporters do not feel ‘able to write whatever they want to write.’
