A Free Press Shouldn't Fear A President's Free Speech

Had fun at my 2nd annual daddy-daughter dance this weekend. Chris Wallace & Reince Priebus discuss 'fake news.' Fake news isn't exclusively state run media. The news media in free markets can lie, too. Consumers just have alternative options & lying news organizations will presumably pay the price for misleading customers. Some radicals in the media view it as their role to either (a) stop Trump's agenda or (b) help initiate impeachment hearings. And if there are a few fake news stories along the way? Not a problem because the ends will justify the means. Ironically, the press is questioning whether President Trump has free speech to challenge them. Trump 'likely' 2nd shortest term as president ever? I detect a little wishful thinking.
