Newspapers across US rebuke Trump for attacks on press

13 Sept 11:51 Key points summarised by AI

Hundreds of US newspapers launched a coordinated defense of press freedom, rebuking President Trump's attacks on media organizations as "enemies of the American people."
The Boston Globe, which coordinated the effort, asserted that labeling the press "the enemy of the people" is un-American and dangerous to the nation's civic compact.
President Trump continued his criticism, tweeting that "THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THE OPPOSITION PARTY" and accusing them of pushing political agendas.
The New York Times emphasized that while journalists make mistakes, dismissing truths as 'fake news' and calling journalists 'the enemy of the people' is dangerous to democracy.
Some media critics argued that the coordinated editorial response might backfire, potentially reinforcing Trump's narrative of a biased media cabal.
