President Trump's campaign against the media has escalated, fostering an environment where dissent is punishable and the independence of journalism is jeopardized. His administration specifically targets news outlets, employing tactics reminiscent of authoritarian regimes by selectively including or excluding reporters and conducting investigations into broadcasting legitimacy. The Justice Department's potential use of anti-spying laws against journalists, coupled with various lawsuits against media outlets, showcases a troubling approach to curb press freedom while intensifying the narrative of 'fake news' to further his own political agenda.
Trump's attack on the press goes beyond criticism; it threatens independent journalism by demanding compliance and punishing dissent, reshaping the relationship between leadership and media.
The actions taken by the Trump administration—including selective exclusion from events and investigations into broadcasters—mirror tactics of authoritarian regimes, aiming to control the narrative.
