Several hundred outlets have decided to conduct coordinated attacks aimed at US President Donald Trump over his accusations that some US media report “fake news” and cite “nonexistent” anonymous sources.
On August 16, some 343 media outlets agreed to join a Boston Globe campaign aimed at publishing editorials denouncing what the media have called a “dirty war against the free press” allegedly organized by US President Donald Trump. The Globe claims that the current administration’s policy is an organized “assault on the press” and is trying to portray it as the “enemy of the people.”
The campaign united both small local media and huge news conglomerates, from the US and abroad. Among the media outlets joining the campaign were The New York Times, The Guardian, Chicago Sun Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Miami Herald and others, many of them championing the Democratic Party’s agenda.
The anti-Trump media campaign has ignited a controversy online. Many netizens slammed it, stressing that it is “fake news media” that they are the real “enemy of the people,” not just any outlet.
