Republican Attacks on the Press
Marjorie Taylor Greene and Carrie Lake's aggressive assaults on the media at the recent Republican convention underline the party's longstanding antagonistic view towards the press. These attacks, dating back to events like the 1964 Republican National Convention, have escalated over time, fueled further by Donald Trump's discrediting of the press as 'fake news' and 'enemies of the American people.' Republicans like Green and Lake exploit anti-press sentiments to rally support, garner attention, and consolidate power within the party.
