The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) had a quick response to Steve Bannon’s declaration that the news media should “keep its mouth shut.”
That response: No, it shouldn’t.
“No, Stephen Bannon, the media should not ‘keep its mouth shut’ and if the Trump administration tries, we’ll see them in court,” the organization tweeted.
Bannon, President Trump’s chief strategist, said in an interview with the New York Times on Wednesday: “The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while. I want you to quote this. The media here is the opposition party.
