Letter to the editor:

Trump assaults our core values

Freedom of the press is legally protected by the First Amendment and is considered necessary to prevent the government from interfering with the dissemination of information and opinions.

In the backward world of the Trump regime, President Donald Trump has declared that the press is the enemy of the people. He is normalizing the continuous bashing of the media, except for his primary source of information, Fox News.

Even though former President Richard Nixon thought the press was out to get him, he never called it “fake news.”

Out of the bowels of Fox News, Trump has chosen a depraved brute, who facilitated the lecherous misdeeds against women by Roger Ailes, to work in his administration. Bill Shine is no longer even employable at Fox News.

Trump picked Shine to be White House communications director. I can only imagine the coming PR onslaught against the FBI, the special counsel, deputy attorney general and Michael Cohen.

Investigative reporting has turned up Trump administrative scandals from Tom Price to Scott Pruitt. I don’t think Trump will survive scrutiny of his tax returns.
