Senator Flake’s Floor Speech on Press Freedom

I don’t agree with Jeff Flake on much but he sure got this right.

The free press is the despot’s enemy, which makes the free press the guardian of democracy. When a figure in power reflexively calls any press that doesn’t suit him “fake news,” it is that person who should be the figure of suspicion, not the press.”
