It's more the administration is attacking journalism than the other way around.
For example, the FCC regularly receives complaints against pretty much every broadcaster that they are biased and the FCC regularly dismisses those because broadcasters are supposed to be allowed to take positions that politicians may disagree with.
Until now. The new FCC chairman reinstated complaints against all the major network stations that were alleged to have a liberal bias and is now subpoenaing them, and did not reinstate any complaints against major network stations (e.g., FOX) that allege conservative bias.
One of the policies is that if you are at all a journalist you are an enemy of the state.
During his rallies he'd literally have the entire crowd riled up against the very concept of journalists, because they might not suck up to him every single second of every single day.
Seriously, where do comments like this keep coming from?
Maybe it's better to say the current administration is battling journalism, in a one-sided way. There's a real difference, but it looks too much like splitting hairs.
Is this controversial?
