Damn straight:
Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden accused President Trump of “all-out assault on the media” during World Freedom Press Freedom Day on Sunday.
The former vice president criticized Trump’s treatment of the press in a campaign statement, saying his rhetoric threatens the freedom of the press as his “repeated efforts to demonize the media put us on such a dangerous path.”
“While many presidents have been unhappy with their media coverage, only Donald Trump has attacked the independence of journalists and launched an all-out assault on the media,” Biden’s statement said.
“He bullies and berates individual members of the press, rather than take responsibility for his failures of leadership,” he continued. “His efforts to undermine public confidence in the integrity of fact-based reporting violate our core American values and threaten our very system of government.”
Biden called it “particularly offensive” that the White House allegedly is spreading misinformation and bullying reporters during the coronavirus pandemic. The U.S. has counted more than 1.1 million cases and at least 66,760 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
