Trump scandals exposed by super hero reporters remind political analyst why First Amendment exists
Journalists have been doing a lot of congratulating of other journalists this past week as the New York Times and Washington Post have broken three stories that have more and more in Congress using the “I” word when referring to President Trump.
The @nytimes and @washingtonpost are locked in battle. And every day First Amendment gets stronger & people get real news that matters.

The newspaper war between @nytimes and @washingtonpost is glorious. This is the golden age of journalism @jackshafer promised.

Subscribers of the NYT, WaPo & other publications are paying for the investigations and oversight that the U.S. Congress won't conduct. pic.twitter.com/UcAlqeUXQI

Might I just add that if not for a free press we'd know none of this. Pls hug a reporter today

Maybe credit for this new golden age of journalism should go toChristiane Amanpour, who issued the wake-up call to reporters last November, reminding themit was now more important than ever “to commit to real reporting.”
ABC News chief political analyst and proud independent Matthew Dowd was among those struck by the amazing work being done by journalists to keep the White House in check and protect average citizens from government’s overreach.
Journalists have held this White House more accountable than any politician in DC. This is why our Founders established the first amendment

@matthewjdowd Journalists are turning out to be the true super heroes of our time. Outstanding work and diligence.
