- On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realDonaldTrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @JeffBezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.
- Mueller report suggests the ‘fake news’ came from Trump, not the news media
- In December, Spicer said barring media access is what a 'dictatorship' does. Today, he barred media access. wpo.st/Akid2
- “By threatening a journalist who publishes information that he dislikes, the president promotes and instigates serious attacks on freedom of expression. Without free journalism, the other freedoms will also die." Brazil's @abraji re threats v @ggreenwald wapo.st/2ZlxE72?tid=ss…

- Extraordinary, courageous editorial in the @denverpost : “Denver deserves a newspaper owner who supports its newsroom.”
- An appalling attack on a free press.
