Press must be fair to be a friend to the people

The press is only the friend of the people when they provide a fair and balanced news report. The media with respect to President Donald Trump has not done this. You have reported 92 percent negative comments and only eight percent positive.

Have you reported the good news for black employees? Have you reported that Trump's approval among blacks is 36 percent? These things should be headlined.

When you concentrate on negatives, you only hurt the country and increase the division that already exists.

Have you reported that universities are not even permitting conservative speakers? Have you announced how you disagree with that perspective? It seems to me that the primary focus of the press is to destroy the president. No wonder the president tweets against you.
