I am totally impressed by your distillation of this long-running battle to defend the freedom of the press. Thank you for all the citations.

He did not give a single specific example of "fake news." The whole purpose of his statement was state sponsored terrorism. He is trying to terrorize the news organizations to self censor and only report Trump's party line and not the facts!

Maybe we don't have to panic based on the laws and how they work, but this does make me feel extremely threatened as an American. And that is the intention. Media is already censoring how much information they give us. We know this administration is vindictive and uses lawsuits and everything else they can use to threaten. These words ARE intended to threaten and stop what they do not approve of. It is another of their attempts to eliminate free speech of any kind everywhere.
