Donald Trump has made it clear--if the media doesn't bend to his will, he'll do whatever it takes to silence them. In this episode, I break down how Trump has targeted journalists, forced news hosts out of their jobs, sued major media outlets, and how he restricted access to those members of the press he didn't like, to that of the White House, Pentagon, and beyond. His goal? To dismantle independent journalism and prop up conservative media that will do his bidding. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press, but under Trump's influence, that freedom is under siege. Stay informed, stay vigilant, and don't let the truth be erased.
