This is good and I'm glad it's happening. If the press won't stand up for the 1st amendment, who will? Kudos to them all.

But I'm still wondering what it's going to take to get over the insane double standard between how the media treated Biden, and how they treat Trump.

For all of the people who have urged the American news media to stand together in the face of the Trump admin's attacks – it's happening right now. All the major networks are speaking out against the Pentagon's new press restrictions:

Far too many institutions are bending the knee to Trump and preemptively giving in to his demands. It’s encouraging to see these airports refuse to entertain this administration’s lawlessness. Kudos to them — hopefully their courage inspires others to follow suit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?
