Senate Resolution: Press Isn't 'Enemy of the People'

The U.S.

Senate unanimously  passed a resolution  tacitly condemning President Donald Trump's attacks on the press Thursday.  While  the resolution  did not mention President Trump by name, it affirmed that "the press is not the enemy of the people," as the president has claimed repeatedly.  The move comes on the same day  more than 300 publications  across the country  ran editorials  criticizing the president's rhetoric.  The Boston Globe organized the effort and says the president's comments aim to undermine trust in the press and threaten press freedom.  The president responded to the Globe's editorial Thursday morning, writing on Twitter, "The Globe is in COLLUSION with other papers on free press."  The president added, "The press is FREE to write and say anything it wants, but much of what it says is FAKE NEWS."  Additional reporting by  Newsy affiliate CNN .
