It's always darkest before it goes completely black?

But it certainly wasn't Obama attacking the free press. Just the opposite.
Quote:
Trump has played a significant role in hostility toward media, repeatedly accusing journalists of reporting “fake news” and calling them the “enemy of the American people.” He has also cheered on violence against journalists, such as praising a GOP congressman’s assault on a reporter in May 2017. In November, the White House was forced to restore press credentials for a CNN reporter after stripping him of his pass following a heated exchange with Trump at a press conference.
In August, United Nations human rights leaders said the president’s repeated attacks undermine press freedom and raise the risk of violence against journalists.
“The president’s relentless attacks against the press has created an environment where verbal, physical and online threats and assault against journalists are being normalized,” RSF Interim Executive Director Sabine Dolan told NPR.

This is all on Donny and his sycophants.

Most of the decline over the the past two years is, but what I'm speaking to predates Obama.

And it describes the path we are on, not the racist (?) joke you finished the well known phrase with.

"racist"? Care to elaborate? Actually, that 'well known phrase' is, "It's always darkest before the dawn" since we're both mangling aphorisms.

You failed to notice my (?).
Care to elaborate on the point of your preceding post?
I answered your post 1251 question without mangling a thing.

That's funny, I Googled your phrase and the results came back 'before the dawn'. In reference to storms, the aphorism is it's always calm before the store. So... don't play dense, Bob. It's really not a good look on you.
As to elaborating on my point, it really was plain English. Only an idjit would somehow twist it to be 'racist'. Got it? Good. Ta.
