Media vs Trump

From The Panel, 4:25 pm on 17 August 2018

American media has hit back at attacks from President Trump. More than 300 news outlets launched a campaign to promote free press to counter the jibes from Mr Trump. The Boston Globe put out the call last week using the hashtag "EnemyOfNone". Mr Trump has responded to the campaign calling "the fake news media" the opposition.

The panelists discuss.

Hundreds of U.S. newspapers joined together and published editorials decrying President Donald Trump's description of the media as the "enemy of the people."
