The foreign press seems obsessed with the Freedom Tower, as if it was the only thing going on here. In fact, we're trying to keep a huge juggling act in balance, with the tower as just one of the many balls in play.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it.
Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation's heart, the excision of its memory.
Some of the press who speak loudly about the freedom of the press are themselves the enemies of freedom. Countless people dare not say a thing because they know it will be picked up and made a song of by the press. That limits freedom.
We saw when those World Trade towers came down what these terrorists will do.
This is the real tragedy of America's 'Internet freedom agenda': It's going to be the dissidents in China and Iran who will pay for the hypocrisy that drove it from the very beginning.
I'm very much in support of the free press, but the free press ought to be educational and informative. And I believe they have fallen down recently on that.

Every single person who enters Trump Tower, you get to see them go up, go down, they talk to the press.
