Stilton’s Place<\/strong>

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can expect to see a lot of editorials like the one shown above on Thursday, August 16 (not that they’re hard to find any other day) when over 100 newspapers have announced plans to simultaneously publish editorials attacking President Trump<\/a> for suggesting that they lack integrity and (ahem) independence of thought.<\/em><\/p>\n

Specifically, they’re sick of being called “fake news” just because they publish stories which aren’t even remotely true, and additionally incensed that Trump has declared that news organizations which knowingly lie to America’s voters are “enemies of the people” because they’re attempting to (ahem) meddle in our theoretically sacred voting process.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In this case, we completely agree with Trump. Mind you, neither we nor Trump is saying that every reporter and\/or news outlet is like that. But the majority? Well, sadly…yeah.<\/em><\/p>\n
