Mr. President, Apologize to the Families of Daniel Pearl, Chauncey Bailey and Other Slain Journalists


On February 17, the New York Times reported the following: 

"President Trump, in an extraordinary rebuke of the nation’s press organizations, wrote on Twitter on Friday that the nation’s news media “is the enemy of the American people.”

"Even by the standards of a president who routinely castigates journalists — and who on Thursday devoted much of a 77-minute news conference to criticizing his press coverage — Mr. Trump’s tweet was a striking escalation in his attacks."

From The G-Man is respectfully requesting that President Trump, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus, Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer review the videos that have been posted. FTG is also requesting that President Trump issue a public apology to the wives, families, friends and colleagues of slain journalists. 

Mr. President, let the videos and link that have been provided serve as a reminder that journalists in the United States, as well as hundreds abroad, have been and will continue to be killed in their effort to expose the truth.... and preserve and protect freedom of the press. 


 
On January 23, 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was abducted while working on a story in Karachi, Pakistan.
