Re: Please no more free advertising to the president.
For more than three years, we have seen how the media: press, radio, television, etc., have been making free publicity to the candidate and now president, repeating his name and surname constantly. It is valued in more than $2 billion in free advertising during the election campaign.
The president accuses the media in the most blatant, insulting and aggressive manner of being the No. 1 enemies of the American people. The aggression to the media is increasing reaching extremes situations, such as not allowing the presence or even expelling journalists from their press conferences or presentations of their reality—fake. This fanfare is extremely harmful to journalists in the United States and the world; perhaps we could relate to the horrible attack that suffered the press in Annapolis, Md., with the balance of five fatalities.
Attacks on the press are a cruel attack on the Constitution, freedom of expression and the right of every citizen to be well informed. The damage that is being done to the country in general and to the press in, particular must stop immediately and definitively; if the Republicans do not dare and the Democrats cannot, perhaps the journalists themselves should do it. The media: press, radio, TV, etc., should boycott the president’s names with absolute silence to everything he says, writes or does. In cases where there is no other choice, they can use alternatives such as: president, the executive, the administration, etc.
Maybe it does not correspond to me, but it would be advisable that the media dedicate more space to the people, poorly paid workers, to these families who cannot afford medical insurance, take their children on vacation, the rents and housing are becoming more expensive, such as the university.
Please, for the sake of democracy, of the country with our families and future generations, let us all join in the boycott; do not repeat the name or surname of the president. Please no more free publicity to the president.
