2. My question is this

Oct 2018

will Trump's threats against the media, against the media's criticism of him, even when warranted, cause them to back off?

CNN and MSNBC are still corporate media organizations but will Trump's threats morph them into Fox? Many reporters from CNN and MSNBC have been called out by name. Put yourselves in their shoes, it has to be a scary situation. Phil Mudd from CNN was called out by the pipe bomber, I saw how emotional that made him, how fearful he became about his family.

Will reporters start asking soft ball questions for fear of getting a pipe bomb or getting shot?

Hey Trump cultists, get out your Constitution, the free press is protected by our founders in the Constitution for reasons to check authoritarian/Nazi presidents like Trump.
