Our President attacks #freepress & calls journalism #fakenews. Thomas Jefferson had a different approach: “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter."pic.twitter.com/URDCmJRY51

“The role journalism plays in our free society is too crucial to allow this degradation to continue. We aren’t the enemy of the people. We are the people. We aren’t fake news. We are your news & we struggle night/day to get the facts right.”

“The true enemy of any democracy is ignorance, and the only way to battle ignorance is through the acquisition of knowledge. The frayed social compact between the news media and its audience must be rebuilt.”

"We all are entitled to opinions & to express them as part of a rich & informed conversation about the issues of the day. But we're not entitled to our own facts. Facts are not partisan and when they are dismissed as 'fake news,' we all lose."

How about starting by the Press actually providing balanced narrative and turning the fact checking up to a 10 and the rhetoric down to 0.

How about the President and Sanders stop lying so that the press doesn't have to spend all of its time fact-checking.https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.497a4cbc38d2 …

The problem is they spend very little, if any, time fact checking. They can't cry about other people lying then play virtuous when they perpetuate those very same lies either knowingly or unknowingly.

The leader, be it a corp. or a country, sets the tone. We had far far less of this before Trump. Potus is only concerned about pleasing Putin and staying out of jail. Nothing / no one else matters, the free press fights for citizens.

Free speech and freedom of the press are awesome when they are not turned into propaganda! Obviously there are a lot of Americans smarter than our elected officials think we are.
