      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

      I know it has become fashionable to tear down rather than work to improve the democratic institutions that generations of Americans have built. But today, 350 newspapers spoke up in defense of a foundational institution: #freepress. Here are some of the Colorado editorials→

          Keep speaking the truth. Hopefully the GOP will wake up and notice who the enemies really are and start caring about the country and constitution more than they worry about being primaried.

          When they stop omitting, changing the order of events to change the meaning. Or flat out make up stories and don't retract, they are #FakeNews

          Senator the trouble with news today is that it is not journalism and facts, it's Opinion based on political bias. Well you may not like the president using the word fake news President Obama used government agencies to go after news reporters in his attempt to silence the news

          As a conservative i agree that facts are facts. The trouble is not everyone believes in the same facts. Have you seen any fact that would disable Judge Kavanaugh from the supreme court? I have seen lots of opinions that think he will do thus or that. But no facts.

          I no longer subscribe to the @DenverPost because I was sick of the bias in almost every article that had to do with anything political. And their customer service was atrocious. It didn’t have a ton to do with the digital age. I prefer in print newspapers.

          But when the vast majority of media in this country likes to skew those facts towards a liberal bias, it pisses half the country off including the unpresidential president. Why can’t media take the higher ground and attempt to be unbiased?

          Thank you Senator Bennet. We have to have more senators have the strength to speak out against this president. He is toxic and this can not continue. Again, thank you for your courage. We all want a free press. #FreePress

          But when some facts are ignored, given short attention &/or not reported at all, that is fake news. When organizations set out to favor one set of facts or opinions over others, or make stuff up to advance their own viewpoint or political stance, that is exactly FAKE NEWS.
