Trump accuses Boston Globe of 'collusion with other papers amid coordinated pushback to his rhetoric

Trump on Thursday accused the Boston Globe of "collusion with other papers" after the news outlet coordinated a nationwide effort to publish editorials pushing back against the president's attacks on the press.

"The Boston Globe, which was sold to the the Failing New York Times for 1.3 BILLION DOLLARS (plus 800 million dollars in losses & investment), or 2.1 BILLION DOLLARS, was then sold by the Times for 1 DOLLAR. Now the Globe is in COLLUSION with other papers on free press. PROVE IT!" Trump tweeted.

It's unclear what he was calling for newspapers to prove, and Trump misrepresented sale prices for the Globe. The newspaper was sold to The New York Times Company for $1.1 billion in 1993, and John Henry purchased it in 2013 for $70 million.

In a subsequent tweet, the president said "there is nothing I would want more for our Country than true freedom of the press," before claiming that the media often pushes a political agenda or is "trying to hurt people."
