全美300多家新闻媒体向特朗普'宣战'
More than 300 newspapers joined a nationwide effort to publish editorials last Thursday pushing back against President Donald Trump's ramped-up rhetoric against news media. "This dirty war on the free press must end," Marjorie Pritchard, the Boston Globe's editorial page deputy managing editor said in a statement obtained by ABC News. "It calls for urgent action by those committed to free speech and the free press to stand against a White House and its allies who are bent on eroding a pillar of an informed democracy." Publications ranging from the New York Times to smaller regional publications such as the South Bend Tribune are part of the initiative. Since his inauguration, President Trump has characterized major news organizations as "the enemy of the people". In a series of tweets last Thursday, Trump repeated the claim and declared "THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THE OPPOSITION PARTY. It is very bad for our Great Country....BUT WE ARE WINNING!" First amendment experts have raised concerns over the president's tone toward the media and worry about the possibility of violence towards the press. |
