The press has gone too far with their campaign against Trump. If they purposely lie to the public and disobey to journalistic standards (like the so called fact checkers that claim one-sided, unproven and ideologically colored opinions to be facts) they should be held accountable because they threaten democracy.

I am a fan of free and critical press if it stays truthful, fair and honest. But here they want to destroy him and his family with whatever it takes and this goes way too far.

The press should let him do his work and criticize the results where necessary instead of spreading pure hate. He really and honestly plans to make life better and safer for everyone and this should be honored instead of being sabotaged.

And I really cannot believe that so many people here believe the bullshit written by the media about him. If you watch his speeches or conferences and read the news afterwards you will see that they are outright lying or making things up. They not only put things out of context, they often make things up and provide extremely negative headlines about things he never said or meant this way.

Instead of attacking Trump on a personal level and writing 99,9% negative artickles about him, the media should do their job and report abput the massive immigrant riots in France https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJXvHRsjzBQ , but they want to hide the truth and bring along their own political agenda.

But you are contradicting yourself if you say that you want a free press IF they are truthful, which is highly subjective. Obama absolutely hated Fox news but never banned them from getting access in public forums. All media at all times are influenced by different ideologies, it's impossible for any entity to be neutral. They do aim to be objective though, even Fox news. And the moment people in power dictate what is "true" in medias reporting, then we don't have free press anymore.

How do you know CNN has been lying when we have verifiable facts that the Trump administration constantly lies? Who in that case determines if the press are lying?

It never fails, Republicans and their double standards. 

George W. Bush = engages in an illegal war in Iraq that kills tens of thousands of people, collapses the entire global economy, has 9/11 happen on his watch

Bill Clinton = got a consenting blow job while in office

Guess which of the two they tried to impeach.
