@mott-the-hoople saidYet we don't see Joe Biden crying for the firing of news reporters whom report critically of him:
American news has become the equivalent of state run media as in communist countries.
- "On Thursday evening, The Atlantic reported that President Donald Trump had referred to dead American World War I troops in France as “losers” and “suckers” in 2018; and that he canceled a trip to a military cemetery because he did not want his hair wet.
Trump called on Fox to fire Griffin for her report, likening it to the so-called “Dirty Dossier” that wrongly sparked the years-long investigation of Russian collusion with his administration.
As expected, Griffin received tweeted support from colleagues in journalism for her reporting and track record, while Trump supporters lined up on the President’s team."

Additionally, trump's own not-so-clever admission to Lesley Stahl must never be forgotten either:
"President Donald Trump told the veteran journalist Lesley Stahl of the CBS program “60 Minutes” that he bashes the press to “demean” and “discredit” reporters so that the public will not believe “negative stories” about him, Stahl said."

There is no state-run press in the United States. There is no "vast 'left-wing' conspiracy". That conspiratorial lie is being perpetuated by political weaklings.
U.S. Presidents have survived our Free Press for over 200 years. It's what informs our Republic. It's our only watchdog.
Trump doesn't like that because he just can't take it. He's inadequate. He's insecure. And the bottom line:
Trump is a wimp.
