I SUPPORT A FREE PRESS.

And so should you.

Here are three things you can do to show that support.

  1. You can state that you oppose the president’s repeated statements that those news agencies he determines are “fake news” are not “the enemy of the American people.”
  2. You can condemn threats of violence against news reporters.
  3. And you can state your support for unfettered access to White House press briefings for all credentialed reporters, whether they are considered to be right-leaning (like Fox) or left-leaning (like CNN).

And you can share your stance with other Americans.  In the Information Age (or Disinformation Age, depending on how you view it), your voice will reach farther than ever.

No, journalists are NOT the enemy of the American people. And you’re a dangerous imbecile if you think that.

It wasn’t too long ago that I read Facebook comments from a Donald Trump supporter stating that news reporters (along with members of the Democratic National Committee) should be executed for treason.

No, I am not claiming that this individual is representative of all Trump supporters. But he certainly wasn’t contradicted by any of his peers that day, including those who (to me) seemed more reasonable. And this person isn’t alone in his desire to see people dead.

Calling news reporters an “enemy of the American people” is stupid and dangerous. It is a variation of “kill the messenger” that might also kill our key constitutional freedoms — along with some innocent people holding cameras and microphones.

Quick site update.

Hey, gang.  This site’s web address is now “ericrobertnolan.com.”

I’m not sure if this will affect anyone who might have the old address bookmarked, so I thought I would let you know.  (I know you can’t bear to go without my unique brand of online nerdery.)  😉
