Steve Adler:
"It's not every day that a U.S. president calls journalists ‘among the most dishonest human beings on earth' or that his chief strategist dubs the media ‘the opposition party.'"
"I am perpetually proud of our work in places such as Turkey, the Philippines, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Thailand, China, Zimbabwe, and Russia, nations in which we sometimes encounter some combination of censorship, legal prosecution, visa denials, and even physical threats to our journalists."
"We don't know yet how sharp the Trump administration's attacks will be over time or to what extent those attacks will be accompanied by legal restrictions on our news-gathering. But we do know that we must follow the same rules that govern our work anywhere."

In fact, it seems that Adler is putting the Trump on notice: if you won't provide open access, he implies, we will find the truth elsewhere.

The US Government is now officially third world. The Republicans did it. We have become the laughingstock of the civilized world. Thanks GOP. You came close under Bush, but you succeeded under Trump.
Putin must be dancing a jig!
