President Donald Trump and his team are increasing the pressure on journalists to cover the war in the Middle East the way the administration wants. The president has complained on social media about stories he doesn’t like and berated a reporter on Air Force One over the weekend. The government’s top media regulator warned that broadcasters risk losing their licenses to operate if they don’t stay away from “fake news.” Both Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have questioned the patriotism of some news outlets because of their reports. Antagonism between presidential administrations and the press isn’t unusual, but Trump’s team has shown a hostility toward the very idea of being questioned.
