It is more important NOW more than ever for the media to stand up to the President!

the next press briefing Spicer or Huckabee try to bull sit They all need to get up and walk out. Corporate media need to stop letting White House talking heads get away with crap.

Stand up 4th estate.

Don't argue about profits or being able to have access. We need to let the media know we expect this of them.

It's another dictatorial instance by Trump....trying to quell criticism by going out to ruin someone's life and/or career. And in particular following the pattern of attacking women. And a pattern of attacking specific people in the media.

Some people don't understand. This is a big deal.

respect for the offices, but not those that slithered into them.

Someone said, and I agree, MSM should start reporting more on what is happening across the country, the effects to real people from this administration. All the media currently does is focus on Trump, etc. and endlessly repeating the same stuff and talking to each other. They need to get out into the US and report. That, will have a greater effect on this administration than just talking about the administration.
