Newspapers speak up about Trump's repeated attacks

Season 2018 Episode 302 | 4m 57s

A free press is central to our democracy and journalists are not the enemy of the state. That was the message shared by more than 300 newspaper editorial boards in an extraordinary step Thursday, sparked by a call-out from the Boston Globe. Judy Woodruff talks with Mike Clark, editorial page editor for the Florida Times-Union, about President Trump’s attacks on the media.
