Love the part where a bunch of people subscribed to their news service to show support...including apparently a famous movie producer and screenwriter.

Yikes for the chief...he stepped right on top of a cherished American value. That's instant-villain territory.

I'm sure even a talented screenwriter wouldn't complain when huge chunks of a story offer to write themselves...

That kind of this only matters if you have shame. And in this age people really don’t care as long as they wield power.

At least the _ideal_ was that this was a government by the people for the people. The goal being to align incentives to wield power appropriately. When you misuse your power against the people, the people take away your power.

However, if you manage to convince the people (or at least a significant percentage of the people) that the journalists you are going up against are just peddlers of "fake news", you might get away with it...
