Shortly after assuming office in January 2017, President Donald Trump accused the press of being an "enemy of the American people." Attacks on the media had been a hallmark of Trump's presidential campaign, but language like this ventured into dangerous territory. Kalb writes about why we should fear for the future of American democracy. In reminding us of Edward R. Murrow's courageous reporting on Senator Joseph McCarthy's "red scare" theatrics in the early 1950s, and of Woodward and Bernstein's reporting during the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, Kalb shows that the press has been a bulwark in the defense of democracy. -- adapted from jacket.
