Editorials are being published today in hundreds of newspapers slamming Trump for slamming the media:
About 350 newspapers across the US have at least one thing in common today: a statement supporting the free press and decrying President Trump's attacks on the media https://t.co/dj4CubZQkA pic.twitter.com/zocXcpBI8v

Iowahawk summed it up as only he can:
If people who think the press is the enemy can't be persuaded by 350 identical newspapers editorials, I guess I there's no hope for themhttps://t.co/lWbFNJRZ38

I'll pay attention to NYTimes lectures on free speech when they admit it's a right other people have toohttps://t.co/QdSnttUj0g

Oh, it’s not a one-way street? Bummer for the NYT.
It's always fun seeing media folk who think the 1st Amendment only applies to people with J-school diplomas

To be clear, I believe the editorialists at the NYTimes should be free to say whatever the hell they want. I just don't see any evidence that the feeling is reciprocal.

Nothing says “there’s no evidence for the accusation that the media coordinates messaging” like hundreds of similar editorials being published all on the same day.
"How dare the President criticize and accuse us for uniting together in a biased, dishonest attack against him! In order to protest, we will unite together in a biased, dishonest attack against him!" https://t.co/v02QTQLQmf
