A.G. Sulzberger : Donald Trump has spent years complaining about the media.

In his second term, he appears to be turning those complaints into actions.

He said populist leaders don't necessarily shutter newsrooms or jail reporters they don't like, but they make it harder for independent journalists to do their jobs, and they "reward news outlets that toe the party line".

There's not a serious news organization that doesn't have major concerns about this — including some news organizations on the right.

If you were willing to walk out of briefings during the Obama administration, why not this time around? The press shouldn't just matter to folks like you and me who are employed by news organizations, he says.
