The Newseum, a D.C. museum dedicated to increasing "public understanding of the importance of a free press," according to its website, is selling apparel advertising one of President Trump's favorite sayings: "Fake news."

The details: The apparel, first reported by Poynter, includes "Make America Great Again" hats and a t-shirts that read, "You are very fake news." Journalists around the country have voiced outrage, saying the slogan is contradictory to encouraging a free press. But director of public relations for the museum, Sonya Gavankar, told Poynter it encourages another pillar of the First Amendment, free speech.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

The Nixon Library in CA has an entire section devoted to Watergate, and it was pretty balanced.  If Richard Nixon could wear his black eye, so can the press.

The organizations complaining are the worst offenders. In a way, they are admitting their guilt. LOL There is no Fox News reporter who is upset by this.

Walk into your living room with the kids and say very loudly, 'Anyone who would eat cookies in the daytime is Crazy!'
The first kid who says, 'No I'm not!' and you have your perp.

That is a head scratcher.  The press is against freedom of speech but is for freedom of the press? 
Liberals.  Go figure.
