President Trump’s Attack on the Media reads as an attack on Free Speech

Donald Trump’s attack on the media are the acts pf a dictator. The following reports on his actions support this contention

The top executive in charge of CBS News resigned on Monday amid President Trump’s intensifying political pressure against the news operation.

Donald Trump attacked ABC News the network hosting the debate for being unfair to him.

The president has prevented The Associated Press from entering the Oval Office while his FCC goes after other media outlets. 

Media watchdogs and other journalists have already accused some of the country’s most respected news outlets of bending to Trump’s will.  Bowing to pressure by Donald Trump both the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times owners stopped their endorsements of Kamala Harris. Both NPR and PBS are under pressure to change their reporting on the White House.

Before the election, The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times were harshly criticized for shelving their planned endorsements of Harris for president. 

After the election, ABC agreed to pay $15 million as part of a legal settlement with Trump and put to bed a dispute that centered on an interview in which, Trump alleged, anchor George Stephanopoulos defamed him. 

On Jan. 31, the Defense Department announced that it was instituting a new “annual media rotation program” and dislodged several news outlets, including NBC News, from their Pentagon office spaces.

We are on the way to a dictatorship.
