The Boston Globe is working with other newspapers by proposing a "coordinated response" to criticize President Trump’s negative rhetoric on the press.
'We propose to publish an editorial on August 16 on the dangers of the administration's assault on the press and ask others to commit to publishing their own editorials on the same date,' The Globe said in its pitch to fellow papers.
As of Saturday more than 100 papers reportedly have signed up.
Journalists have noticed an uptick in Trump's attacks against the news media in recent weeks. He has been using dehumanizing language like "enemy of the people" more often.
“Enemy of the people” and “fake news” are the terms the liberal media complain the most about, and the president was calling them out again Saturday on Twitter.
“The big story that the Fake News Media refuses to report is lowlife Christopher Steele’s many meetings with Deputy A.G. Bruce Ohr and his beautiful wife, Nelly. It was Fusion GPS that hired Steele to write the phony & discredited Dossier, paid for by Crooked Hillary & the DNC, “ Trump tweeted.
