Seriously, we need that in every cemetery around the world. Reporters are targets even in the USA. So far they have only been arrested on trumped up charges. (Take it anyway you like.)
Stephen Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, has been referring to the media as the “opposition party”. It won’t be long until these arrests start happening here.
@BILAN: a bunch of reporters were already arrested while they were covering the demonstration against Trump that took place during his inauguration and where some property damage did occur. Those reporters were charged with the same offenses as those arrested for causing the broken windows…
I was a reporter, and my first real news story was of some misuse of federal funds by City Hall. In no time, two suits from the City Attorney’s office appeared at the editor’s desk, threatening to sue me and the paper. Not because what I wrote wasn’t true (they didn’t deny it for a second), but because they said I didn’t have the right to reveal it.
People joke about how Trump is acting like a dictator and he’s crazy and a spy for the Russians and stuff…….It would be a lot funnier if it wasn’t true. I don’t know if history repeats itself, but it’s beginning to feel a lot like the sixties again to me….Kinda looks like the ladies are going to take the lead this time……
For many years the ammosexuals squawked about their Second Amendment rights. I haven’t heard a peep from them now that the First Amendment is under attack. It’s the same Constitution that rules us all.
Like this toon anyway, comments aside. I was told that the Right did not need to be shackled by the Left’s bigotry any longer: political correctness is on its death bed but the press denies it is even sick. Wow, I think that may have some validity. Calm, peace, sympathy and patriotism are the watch word; not, hate and distortion.
If the President believes the media is corrupt, and the media believes the President is not telling all the truth, I have a suggestion. The media should stop reporting anything the President says that’s not accepted by both sides. Then I wouldn’t have to watch those flailing hands every night on television.

Under normal circumstances, I’d guess he was edited to death.

Thank you Mr. Miller! This was a fun comic, including most of the comments, even those that went off topic.
