One could argue that attractions and distractions come together but it is sometimes difficult to identify the relationship between the two of them. Especially when it is tied to POTUS and his press hating administration.
Considering the mounting problems POTUS and his administration are facing at home and abroad, not to mention the Democrats takeover of Congress following the midterm elections, this lie and videotape issue could be seen as a distraction.
Freedom of the press is the principle that communication and expression through various media, including printed and electronic media, especially published materials, should be considered a right to be exercised freely.
The comments about the press being the enemy of the people and this latest @POTUS action and that of his @Whitehouse have not attacked not one journalist but all of the free press. There must be complete solidarity. This is another moment for every American who believes in the US Constitution to stand up and just say NO!
