Newspapers US speak out against Trump

boston - More than three hundred newspapers in the United States have promised to speak out on Thursday for the freedom of the press. With this they respond to President Donald Trump, who has named several media companies 'enemies of the American people'.

The Boston Globe is the initiator of the comment. It got support from The New York Times and smaller newspapers, some of which come from states won by Trump in the 2016 elections.

The Boston Globe accuses Trump of the commentary of a 'continuous attack on the free press. '' The grandeur of the US depends on how the free media can speak the truth against the powerful, 'writes The Globe. 'To label the press as 'enemy of the people' is both un-American and dangerous for the society that we share more than two centuries. '

Trump has often dismissed critical reporting about him as 'fake news. '
