350 newspapers across America published editorials today calling for a continued free press, and pushing back against assertions by the Trump Administration that they are nothing but fake news. A free press is guaranteed in the 1st Amendment. It’s our right. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, or ask you not to believe your own eyes. From the Honolulu Star Bulletin:
Of course, there is no denying that the media, covering fast- breaking news events on a 24-hour cycle, will make mistakes. Errors of fact and misguided news judgment are hazards of the profession. So is the appearance of bias. Readers rightly call all this out. But fake news? Come on.
Hawaii’s news media, including this newspaper, have an enduring mission to cover our communities without fear or favor.
