Trump has long been fond of inciting his base against the news media. He called us “enemies of the people” in his first term. These days, he just dismisses any story he doesn’t like as “fake news.”
I’ve been a journalist for a long time; it will be 60 years this coming January. These days most of my colleagues from the 1970s and I are somewhat limited in what we can do by age, health and retirement.
But we can still exercise our rights under the First Amendment. So we will.
