Article in The Washington Post by Eric Wemple 11/11/24

Headline:  “Will there be a retribution of media? I answered your questions.”

“I am guessing that the new Trump admin will at least attempt to freeze out the traditional media (ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, WPO, etc) for criticizing him during the election. How will the media handle that?

“Hey there: “Guessing” is about all we can do at this moment, simply because the Trump folks haven’t written up, printed out and published their COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR HANDLING THE TRADITIONAL MEDIA. Recall that there are two opposing forces at work here: One is that Trump loves having the media at his fingertips, assembled at the White House and available to coming running in with cameras and recorders at a moment’s notice.”

“. . . Should the media have a strategy to safeguard press freedom under the next presidency?

“Yes, and it does: Fight all attacks on the First Amendment. That, you can count on, and it applies to anyone who occupies the White House.”
