President Trump, in a recent Truth Social post, said about the New York Times newspaper: “I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for the New York Times, and others, to consistently do fake reports in order to libel and demean the president of the United States. They are the true enemies of the people, and we should do something about it.”
Maria Ressa, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize writes that: “…without good journalism,
without the sound production of facts and information, there would be no democracy.”
I want to thank all our reporters who collect and bring us the truth of the world despite
constant criticism from Trump.
