"The US was experiencing a press freedom crisis. Trump and his administration have carried out a coordinated war on press freedom since the day he took office, and we will live with the consequences for years to come."
"The report pointed to both Trump administration policies and the wider consolidation of media companies in the US, which critics say opens the door to stifling certain points of view."
"All told, just six companies control most US media: Comcast, Walt Disney, Warner Bros Discovery, Paramount Skydance, Sony, and Amazon."
The United States has dropped to 64th place in the Reporters Without Borders press freedom rankings, marking a significant decline. This decline is attributed to the Trump administration's policies and the consolidation of media companies, which critics argue suppress diverse viewpoints. The report indicates that over half of the world's countries are now facing serious press freedom challenges. RSF's North America executive director emphasized the need to protect legal rights and support independent media to restore press freedom in the US.
