On August 16, about 350 American media outlets posted editorials denouncing Donald Trump’s criticisms of the media. Since his election, the American president has often ranted about "fake news" and called the news media "the enemy of the people". Trump responded to the coordinated action with a series of tweet, one of them saying: "There is nothing that I would want more for our Country than true FREEDOM OF THE PRESS." The Senate, on the other hand, adopted a resolution reaffirming "the vital and indispensable role the free press serves to inform the electorate."
