The “reign of King Trump” has begun, said Robert Reich on Salon. com – and journalists had better watch out.

Trump's “Running War” With The Media

America’s new president made no secret of his contempt for the “disgusting” media during his campaign. He cancelled campaign credentials for news organisations that criticised him, vilified individual reporters, and promised to expand libel laws. Moving into the White House has clearly done nothing to soften Trump’s attitude.
