Stop. I'm not a believer in slippery slope arguments, but given the fact that our president has chosen to do his best to undermine the media and by extension the first amendment, I'm strongly disinclined to add fuel to that fire.

The press has almost always been biased and truthy. Look at William Hearst. But it's still critical to our republic.
