Sulzberger's warning
----------------------------------"New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger spoke last night at a launch event for the Press Clause Coalition, a much-needed new collection of groups advocating on behalf of journalists and news outlets.
"The publisher "had some pointed words for his peers atop U.S. media organizations"... Sulzberger named some names, calling out CBS and Nexstar for currying favor with the Trump administration, and alluded to others, like the Washington Post, for transforming its opinion section "to placate the president.
"Settling 'winnable cases' letting the president 'rewrite their style guides,' and writing 'unusually large checks for the benefit of the president' are all acts of capitulation, Sulzberger said, that serve only 'o embolden the administration to keep attacking the press. Pushing back is necessary
"Sulzberger's message last night was a version of use your rights or lose your rights."
