Reuters Orders Reporters To Treat Trump Administration Like Other Totalitarian Regimes
After sly threats and arbitrary access policies for journalists covering the White House, Reuters News has told its cadre of reporters to treat the new U.S. president like any other nation where censorship, even physical threats, are used by governing officials to intimidate a free press.

* Hirsch is the third person to use the pseudonym, a not-so-veiled tribute to journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson, with the permission of his predecessors Gene Gaudette of American Politics Journal (currently webmaster and chief bottlewasher at Liberaland) and Stephen Meese at Smashmouth Politics.

“Most recently, Trump called out The New York Times on Twitter, and reinforced the message of his alt-right adviser, Breitbart head Steve Bannon, calling the press “the opposition party.”

It’s time for a national and/or an international progressive network…
