Heather Cox Richardson 3/15 26 INDEPENDENT PRESS VS STATE MEDIA The Framers of the U.S. Constitution understood that a free press is imperative for a democracy. Silencing critics is the refuge of those who know what they are doing is unpopular and unjustifiable. Jim Acosta, who left CNN, noted that while the administration is attempting to establish a state media, the American people increasingly have the option of reading independent journalism. "Yes," Acosta wrote, “Trump put me on his media hit list. | regret to report to the notoriously thin-skinned, twice elected, yet soon to be thrice- impeached president that | am still here, loving the freedom of independent media.... Living rent free in the mind of the president of the United States is indeed liberating, especially when you are coloring outside the lines of corporate media.”
