"How the quiet war against press freedom could come to America
Some foreign leaders have ruthlessly curtailed journalism. US politicians could draw from their playbook."

It might have something to do with the #NewYorkTimes editor, Joe Kahn.
'New York Times editor Joe Kahn says defending democracy is a partisan act and he won’t do it'
"But to Kahn, democracy is a partisan issue and he’s not taking sides"
https://presswatchers.org/2024/05/new-york-times-editor-joe-kahn-says-defending-democracy-is-a-partisan-act-and-he-wont-do-it/
One can suppose that Joe Kahn, in his role as #editor, refused to publish an article that talks about democracy's role in defending #press #freedom, and the press's role in defending the #democracy that protects the #FreePress.

from Sulzberger:
"Over the past year, I’ve been asked with increasing frequency whether The #NYTimes, where I serve as publisher, is prepared for the possibility that a similar campaign against the free #press could be embraced here in the #UnitedStates, despite our country’s proud tradition of recognizing the essential role #journalism plays in supporting a strong #democracy and a free people.
It’s not a crazy question."
