If a sitting US President criticizes the credibility of a news network which is critical of him, is he criticizing the viewers of that network as well? Is he criticizing their intelligence? Their ability to distinguish truth from fiction?
Or is he engaging in a policy of suppression, of attempting to shut down contrary or alternate approaches to public problems, some of which could well be at least as legitimate and/or as effective as the programs he is supporting?
Regardless of one’s answers to the above two questions, one has to wonder at the wisdom of any presidential effort which even appears to be an infringement of First Amendment freedom of speech.
One has to wonder a lot at the policies and behavior of the current US President.
