President Trump has frequently derided unfavorable coverage of his administration as “fake news” and has stated that the mainstream media are “the enemy of the American people.” Why has the President taken this unprecedented approach to the media? What is his objective? What impact do you think this will have on the freedom of the press in our democracy?

Facebook has largely declined to fact check the President and has even relaxed some of its existing standards to accommodate misleading political speech.

What are the costs of heavily regulating speech?
