MSNBC does propaganda for the Democrats.
CNN does propaganda for both.

Other presidents have attacked the First Amendment but they are far better at hiding it than Donald Trump. For some reason, it takes a president of the party that a person doesn't like to get into the Oval Office for that individual to see the abuses of power in the halls of power. They all do it but Donald Trump is so brazen about it and he is so incompetent that's it's hard to miss.

I belive there was one statistic which said that Barack Obama jailed more whistle blowers than all previous administrations combined. Donald Trump is merely continuing the authoritarian trend. People didn't seem to care so much when it was Obama doing the attacks. Why?

I don’t think that criticizing the press is the same as limiting free speech. In fact they are very much not the same thing. Trying to equate criticism to an authoritarian regime seems as bad as Brian’s comparisons above.
