The government has not prevented the press from printing or broadcasting anything. The Prez complaining about the media or calling them names is not limiting them. The press is as free today as it has ever been.

Perhaps it is bad campaign strategy but press is free to say whatever they want. They can malign the Prez if they choose.
I would agree but it is inaccurate that he is limiting freedom of the press. He is restricting access. Freedom of the press is not unlimited access. The news is free to report anything positive or negative. The press is as free as it has always been.

I agree he is limiting access but not their freedom to report whatever they want. Seems obvious. The Prez also has the freedom to complain about the press. Freedom is on the rise!

When you have a roomful of thousands of people being riled up and told that the press is the enemy of the people, that begins to endanger the well-being of journalists who are in the room. There is nothing right, and everything wrong about this.
