In a show of solidarity, the publisher of The New York Times writes an op-ed for the newspaper's competitor, The Wall Street Journal, to defend the free press
The subject: President Trump's increasingly extreme rhetorical attacks against the news media.It is a remarkable show of solidarity — especially since The Journal's opinion pages are relatively supportive of Trump. And it is part of a broader effort across the news industry to stand up for First Amendment values. Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger was moved to write the op-ed after Trump accused the paper of committing a"virtual act of treason" last weekend.
"There is no more serious charge a commander in chief can make against an independent news organization," Sulzberger wrote."Which presents a troubling question: What would it look like for Mr. Trump to escalate his attacks on the press further? Having already reached for the most incendiary language available, what is left but putting his threats into action?"As CNN noted on Sunday, Trump's casual use of the word"treason" started recently.
