Just Another Day

Just another day at the office.  Not mine, but President Trump's.  It seems that the nation's newspapers are upset with him for calling them "enemies of the people".  The Boston Globe is leading the charge.
The Boston Globe named itself America’s protector of the free press and is coordinating a day designated for newspapers across the country to run editorials declaring war on President Trump’s labeling of the press as the enemy of the people.
The nation's press, by-and-large, are still butt-hurt that they couldn't wheel Hillary across the finish line.   Instapundit calls them "democratic operatives with bylines", and that's not far from the truth.  Reading the nation's newspapers has been interesting, in that they seem to parrot the same line of outrage.  The editor of the Globe wants everyone to write their own editorial.
The newspaper’s request suggests editorial boards take a common stand against Trump’s words regardless of their politics. “Our words will differ.
It will be interesting to compare a few and see if the words do indeed differ, or if the sentence structure is similar enough that we might call it plagiarism.  In many instances, the nation's press (especially the largest metro dailies) have quit being reporters of facts and have instead opted to become arbiters of political correctness.

It will be interesting to see what happens on the 16th.  I wonder if each of the nation's papers can craft an original sentence?

I have to laugh at this news. So MSM gangs up en masse to protest Trump's assertion that MSM is biased, many of them 'Fake News' sites ? MSM can easily be proved wrong.

Just internet search how many 'positive Trump stories' there have been in the recent months (it won't take long at all) and compare to the number today. I'm willing hardly anything has changed - the same sites continue to accuse Trump administration of doing only bad.

MSM takes on Trump - old news, nice try laddies and lassies.
