Never thought the day would come when criticism would be earned by Donald Lambro, Washington Times syndicated columnist and contributor, once a straight shooter.

But, sadly, his column today is built on a false premise and deserves to be challenged.

In the first sentence, he says “President Trump, who has been relentlessly criticized by the national news media, has declared them to be ‘the enemy of the people.’ “ and then, built on that false premise, writes strongly about the need for a free press.

Mr. Lambro, the President specifically says ‘FakeNews is the enemy of the people’…not media in general; it’s disconcerting that so capable a columnist would not see that.

A free press is vital…a LYING press is disgraceful…

…and that LYING press deserves to be ‘relentlessly criticized’ as well, sir.
