U.S. Senate Unanimously Passes Resolution Asserting That The Press Isn't The Enemy

[Madmallard]

The Senate unanimously passed a resolution Thursday confirming that “the press is not the enemy of the people.”

Introduced by three Democrats Brian Schatz (Hawaii), Richard Blumental (Conn.) and Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), the resolution stemmed from a move led by the Boston Globe that saw more than 350 news organizations write editorials in support of press freedom.

The resolution is mostly symbolic and was passed by a voice vote with no senators objecting, the Boston Globe reported.

There actions are symbolic then WTF did you do it for? For the love of our country fix the shit storm that has been created. Symbolize real representation and help the fing people.

Whomever thought up this resolution and brought it to the floor should be fired into the sea out of a cannon thirty five miles off shore.

If they have that much time to waste they are no longer needed.h

Their problem is the “press” Trump is referring to isn’t actually the press, it’s the corporate punditry circus that is loaded with bias and not fact, propaganda pushed by neoliberal billionaires, that is diguised as news.
Nobody cares about the actual news, that’s not what he is talking about.

To the extent the press is essentially allied with one political party then yes, it is an enemy of the people.

Glad to see our elected representatives have fixed all the big problems and have time for this nonsense.
