The takeaway is this: 1. Calling the press enemy of the people is despicable. Citizens need facts. 2. Help reporters with your behavior: Follow the ones you like, read, and then share their work. You promote truth thus. 3. Reflect on our attitude to reporters. Pay a little bit for good reporting in print media.Thank them for their service.
