350 Newspapers Coordinate Editorials Critiquing Trump's Press Rhetoric
Summary from the AllSides News Team
On Aug. 16, 350 newspapers across the U.S. participated in a coordinated campaign, encouraged by the editorial board of The Boston Globe, in which they published editorials pushing back against President Trump's negative rhetoric about the media. Some on the Left said the move was necessary to protect freedom of the press, while some on the Right said the move will backfire by proving the media is biased against Trump.
