In an effort to quantify the damage done against Americas constitutional belief in free expression,
PEN America released a thorough survey of President Donald Trumps first 100 days in office.
The organization, a nationwide community of novelists, journalists, editors, poets, playwrights and more, chronicled the presidents various statements that undermine the validity of news outlets, his lack of transparency and his choice to defund groups that support artistic expression. The report, titled Trump the Truth, explores a total of approximately 60 incidents in which the White House has undermined the press.
The 30-page memo focuses chiefly on how Trumps administration treats journalists, citing some positive developments ― the administration offers Skype seats in its media briefing room for reporters outside of Washington, for example ― but mostly taking the opportunity to home in on the presidents false indictments of fake news.
In the documents introduction, the organization writes:
...what this Administration is doing ― the relentless lies, the constant efforts to chip away at public support for the press and trust in their reporting, the dismissal of peaceful public demonstrations as illegitimate ― is not normal.
