Our President attacks #freepress & calls journalism #fakenews.

“Both sides of this conflict (
@POTUS & media) need to think about the public. They should restore the decorum expected in an advanced, civilized society built on diverse perspectives, free speech and freedom of the press.”@csgazettehttps://gazette.com/opinion/editorial-we-need-civility-among-president-and-press-corps/article_fc3ede82-a100-11e8-9f6f-77a17ac6af41.html …Show this thread -

The media is not the enemy. The click bait chasing members of the media however are. Reporters who actually research and substantiate their information are a gift to society. If you are writing opinion pieces please not that.
