GENEVA — The United Nations human rights chief said on Wednesday that President Trump’s repeated denunciations of some media outlets as “fake news” could amount to incitement to violence and had potentially dangerous consequences outside the United States...

“It’s really quite amazing when you think that freedom of the press, not only a cornerstone of the Constitution but very much something the United States defended over the years, is now itself under attack from the president himself. It’s a stunning turnaround...”

Countries that did not recognize the essential role of the news media could be inspired if journalists in the United States were attacked, he said. He noted that Cambodia’s government, for example, had withdrawn licenses from the news media and it had cited Mr. Trump as an inspiration for doing so.

Horrifying, yet we have members right here on our forum who worship the guy, and attack our finest news organizations like the NYT. Sad!

Finnish president startled by Trump's lying.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...at-news-a-duck

Trump says Finland is buying Boeing fighter jets. The Finnish president called that news a ‘duck.‘

Finnish president Sauli Niinisto appeared startled and immediately looked in Trump’s direction upon hearing the comments. Niinisto later pushed back against the comments in a tweet Monday that translates to “the news of the purchase of the F-18 fighter planes is a duck.” He used a Finnish word “ankka” commonly used to describe a falsehood, similar to “canard” in English, or maybe fake news in the U.S. vernacular.

Jennifer Rubin offers a glimmer of hope. The Pig in chief's disgusting pardon of the racist sheriff faces legal challenges.
