It is the obligation of the free watchdog press to question the president on behalf of the American people.

Boycotting that obligation would mean an administration like this one could end press privileges.

That's why our dutiful reporters lay down a marker for history every day that the First Amendment was honored, the people were served, and the Constitution remains.

Hands off the free press.
