Newsweek (March 27)
“By almost any measure, last week was a disastrous week for President Donald Trump. Truth seemed to be catching up with the president, but he hasn’t fessed up. Trump’s “disconnection from the truth continues apace…. At this point it’s still a race to see how long the public and dogged reporters will have the energy to keep up at this pace.”

“Although at this point nothing should surprise anyone about how Trump conducts himself, it was still hard not to have your jaw drop as his face-off with reporters played across screens. He lashed out personally against reporters, he resumed fighting over the outcome of the election and his loss in the popular vote, and continued steadfastly refusing to admit to facts that are beyond dispute…. This is not a way to conduct the presidency.”

New York Times (March 9)
“American press freedoms rank among the broadest in the world,” but the government can still crimp this freedom by “prosecuting those suspected of leaking classified documents, and even seizing reporters’ records. Uninhibited and robust criticism can go only so far without meaningful access to information.”
