President Donald Trump has reignited his long-standing feud with mainstream media, declaring that “the newscasts are against me” in a series of fiery posts and public statements. But this time, it’s more than rhetoric—his administration has taken concrete steps to challenge press freedom.

From blocking Associated Press reporters over terminology disputes to filing multi-billion-dollar lawsuits against CBS for alleged “news distortion”, Trump is framing the media as a political adversary. He’s accused outlets like 60 Minutes of “fraud” and “unlawful behavior,” calling for FCC investigations and even threatening license revocations.

This episode dives into the tension between presidential power and press independence. Is this a strategic crackdown on biased coverage—or a dangerous slide into authoritarian control?
