Media Delight

  • Tuesday, February 28, 2017

Mr. Exum, 

Before you "delight" in Trump's authoritarian actions against the Fourth Estate, consider what company he now keeps. Among the many other news outlets Trump has denied access is the venerable international organization BBC.  

Here are the only other countries who have banned the BBC: North Korea, Zimbabwe, Myanmar, Uzbekistan, and Rwanda. 

It is a universal trait of autocratic governments to squash, discredit, and silence journalists who present facts that contradict their lies and try to hold them accountable. 

The only media outlets Trump is allowing access are those willing to unquestioningly spread his falsehoods and exaggerations. Anyone who dares calls out his many (easily proven) false statements gets branded with the Scarlet F. 

At this point, if Trump hasn't publicly called your news outlet fake, it's time to question your integrity.
