Makes morbid sense.. Once the US (Republican leaders) chimed in with the other dictatorial regimes of the world denouncing The Press, there became less refuge and an apparent ‘open season.’ Hopefully, this will have been it’s peak 
PS, I appreciate you posting the meat of the piece and not simply ‘a link.’

I thank (somebody!!??!) Every single day that we have a powerful free press. If not, I doubt we would know Anything about immigrant families being ripped apart, to name just one horrible thing.
Hitler's first move, less than 6 months into office, was to build Dachau for the press & other "dissidents".......
