Open Letter to the Press

Open Letter to the Press

The Issue

America is at war, a war of information. The Mainstream Media has decided to wage war on President Trump, and by association, the American people.

Over 200 media personalities (journalist) have signed a letter that states, in part:

Trump’s condoning of political violence is part of a sustained pattern of attack on a free press—which includes labeling any reportage he doesn’t like as “fake news” and barring reporters and news organizations whom he wishes to punish from press briefings and events.

One of the pillars of a free and open democracy is a vibrant free press.

At his inauguration the President of the United States swears to protect the U.S. Constitution, including the First Amendment.

This President is utterly failing to do so and actively working not simply to undermine the press, but to incite violence against it as well.

In a lawsuit filed by PEN, the writer’s organization, against Donald Trump, they charge him with violating the First Amendment. We, the undersigned, past and present members of the Fourth Estate, support this action.

We denounce Donald Trump's behavior as unconstitutional, un-American and utterly unlawful and unseemly for the President of the United States and leader of the free world.

We The People, undersigned, emphatically denounce these accusations by the press, and wish to instead hold the "news" accountable for the sustained negative attacks on our President. The never ending platform given to extremist who are inciting violence towards anyone with whom their ideas they do not align, is unacceptable. A free and open press has a responsibility to report the news, factually, not generate extremist rhetoric. We formally call on the Mockingbird Media to break free from globalist control, and start doing what is right for America.

Signed,
