from Bostonred Hosted by bostonred
'A free press was 'indispensable to democracy' during his two White House terms – hinting that he disagrees with President Donald Trump's assessment of some reporters as 'the enemy of the people.We need an independent media to hold people like me to account,' Bush said on the 'Today' show.

His administration has actually sparked some of the best investigative reporting we’ve seen since Watergate on the Russian connection and Trump’s financial conflicts – especially from The Washington Post, CNN, and The New York Times.It’s also clear that the majority of the American people aren’t buying Trump’s assault on the press.
