August 12, 2018President Trump has been accused of using “anti-press” rhetoric. Whiny Jim Acosta is convinced Trump wants to like, trash the First Amendment.
Here’s the thing. Trump isn’t anti-press. He’s sick of the FAKE NEWS. Big difference.
They asked my daughter Ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!

It’s about time media companies and reporters alike start taking responsibility for their actions. They get so absorbed in thinking that THEY are the only ones holding the people in Washington accountable. But their panties get in a wad when we try to hold THEM accountable. They’re almighty journalists! How dare you question them and their intentions!
Case in point. The Boston Globe has a plan. It’s been contacting about 100 papers and is trying to coordinate some sort of mass response to Trump’s “anti-press” rhetoric.
The Boston Globe has been contacting newspaper editorial boards and proposing a “coordinated response” to President Trump’s escalating “enemy of the people” rhetoric.
“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 Globe said in its pitch to fellow papers.
The effort began just a few days ago.
On Thursday, more than 100 newspapers will publish editorials decrying Trump's anti-press rhetoric. The # of participating papers keeps growing. Here's my full story https://t.co/OAGkQqtzTp

"The response has been overwhelming," @marjoriepritch told me. "We have some big newspapers, but the majority are from smaller markets, all enthusiastic about standing up to Trump's assault on journalism." https://t.co/OAGkQqtzTp

The Boston Globe claims it has amassed the support of “more than 100 publications.”
“The response has been overwhelming,” Marjorie Pritchard, the Boson Globe’s deputy editorial page editor said, according to CNN. “We have some big newspapers, but the majority are from smaller markets, all enthusiastic about standing up to Trump’s assault on journalism.”
Instead of printing the exact same message, each publication will write its own editorial, Pritchard said.
Keep all that in mind. When you see dozens of editorials this week about Trump targeting the press, know that it’s not a grassroots response. It’s the result of slimy journalists contacting each other and trying to rev up the #resistance ahead of the midterms.
Can't make this stuff up — MSM takes a coordinated stand against the President who complains that the MSM is always coordinating against him. https://t.co/I1OZMV0CRu

Are they dumb? They DO realize they’re proving his point, right? The press is hell-bent on hating Trump and will do whatever it takes to take him down, and they’re proving that yet again.
