Trump has cracked the code in how to hurt the press.
Free speech is now at risk.
MAGA corporations must not control the news.
Support independent media.
And so, first of all, let me just point out that the very cozy hand-in-glove relationship between the government and various news outlets, it was very, very, very cozy during Joe Biden, so much so that they basically covered up the fact that he was no longer functional in the brain.
