CNN headline: Trump calls press America's 'biggest enemy'

Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. Benjamin Franklin
Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy. Walter Cronkite
The only security of all is in a free press. Thomas Jefferson
Freedom of the Press, if it means anything at all, means the freedom to criticize and oppose George Orwell
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. John F. Kennedy
Whoever controls the media, controls the mind. Jim Morrison
As unbalanced parties of every description can never tolerate a free inquiry of any kind, when employed against themselves, the license, and even the most temperate freedom of the press, soon excite resentment and revenge. John Adams
Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!  Donald Trump
