Funny how every dictator starts by shouting “fake news.” When leaders discredit the press, it’s not about truth—it’s about control. History has receipts, and they’re screaming in all caps.

No, just say no, seems to be the reaction of many well-known news organizations to the demand by the SOD Hegseth that beat reporters must agree to new rules by tomorrow, Tuesday, or hand in their press passes. I hope they all walk away.

Reporting is not PR.

This was a poignant sign carried on No Kings Day to support honest journalists of all stripes.

Thanks to Aaron Parnas for posting.

Full 7-pg letter sent Monday, April 20th. “We the undersigned, call upon the White House Correspondents’ Association to use the occasion of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, to forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump’s efforts to trample freedom of the press.” ✨

This isn’t paranoia — it’s a pattern. Step by step, year by year, the pressure builds: lawsuits, bans, funding cuts, silenced voices. A constitutional crisis doesn’t come all at once. It escalates until democracy itself is on the line.

“The news may be good or bad—we shall tell you the truth.” — VOA, 1942

For the first time in 83 years, VOA went silent—not by war, but by political vengeance.

Founded to fight Nazi propaganda. Now fighting for survival.

I asked ChatGPT to compare Trump’s administration to past regimes twice—41 days apart. Its assessment changed as authoritarian actions escalated. How fast can democracy crumble?”

When I was on City Council, the media said things about me that weren’t true or fair. I got mad but never said, “Let’s ban Fox from City Hall.”

A free press matters. Even when it’s uncomfortable.

Public broadcasting matters too. It exists to inform people.

Our government is stripping away our rights and crippling our oversight. #freepressmatters
