Trump declines request to lower flags in memory of Capital Gazette shooting victims
"Obviously, I'm disappointed, you know? ... Is there a cutoff for tragedy?" Buckley said Monday afternoon. "This was an attack on the press. It was an attack on freedom of speech. It's just as important as any other tragedy."

He's almost right.
The Free Press has been enemies of authoritarians, despots, liars, dictators and demagogues for as long as there has been a free press. Of course that doesn't sit well with Trump. For obvious reasons.
