An American dream for free
.
In den USA haben Zeitungen für Demokratie appelliert:
.
BOSTON GLOBE, Tageszeitung in Boston Mass. USA, hat am 14. August alle US-Zeitungen zu einem Appell für Demokratie, Wahrheit und freie Presse aufgerufen. Ein Kernsatz darin, an dem sich weite Teile der US-Zeitungen heute beteiligten, lautet:
.
„…darauf zu bestehen, dass Wahrheiten, die man nicht mag, „falsche Nachrichten“ sind, ist gefährlich für das Lebenselixier der Demokratie. Und Journalisten als „Volksfeind“ zu bezeichnen, ist gefährlich, Punkt….“
.
„…insisting that truths you don’t like are “fake news” is dangerous to the lifeblood of democracy. And calling journalists the “enemy of the people” is dangerous, period. …“
.
Es folgt der Volltext des Appells des Boston Globe, den auch der Herausgeber-Vorstand der New York Times am 15. August 2018 abgedruckt und unterzeichnet hat:

nytimes.com am 15. August 2018 / By The Editorial Bord der NY Times:
„Opinion A Free Press Needs You
In 1787, the year the Constitution was adopted, Thomas Jefferson famously wrote to a friend, “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”
.
That’s how he felt before he became president, anyway. Twenty years later, after enduring the oversight of the press from inside the White House, he was less sure of its value, “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper,” he wrote. “Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”
.
Jefferson’s discomfort was, and remains, understandable. Reporting the news in an open society is an enterprise laced with conflict. His discomfort also illustrates the need for the right he helped enshrine. As the founders believed from their own experience, a well-informed public is best equipped to root out corruption and, over the long haul, promote liberty and justice.
.
“Public discussion is a political duty,” the Supreme Court said in 1964. That discussion must be “uninhibited, robust, and wide-open,” and “may well include vehement, caustic and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.”
In 2018, some of the most damaging attacks are coming from government officials. Criticizing the news media — for underplaying or overplaying stories, for getting something wrong — is entirely right. News reporters and editors are human, and make mistakes. Correcting them is core to our job. But insisting that truths you don’t like are “fake news” is dangerous to the lifeblood of democracy. And calling journalists the “enemy of the people” is dangerous, period.
These attacks on the press are particularly threatening to journalists in nations with a less secure rule of law and to smaller publications in the United States, already buffeted by the industry’s economic crisis. And yet the journalists at those papers continue to do the hard work of asking questions and telling the stories that you otherwise wouldn’t hear. Consider The San Luis Obispo Tribune, which wrote about the death of a jail inmate who was restrained for 46 hours. The account forced the county to change how it treats mentally ill prisoners.
.
Answering a call last week from The Boston Globe. The Times is joining hundreds of newspapers, from large metro-area dailies to small local weeklies, to remind readers of the value of America’s free press. These editorials, some of which we’ve excerpted, together affirm a fundamental American institution.
.
If you haven’t already, please subscribe to your local papers. Praise them when you think they’ve done a good job and criticize them when you think they could do better. We’re all in this together.“
.

The Guardian London, United Kingdom schreibt dazu am 15. August 2018:
.
„Die Pressefreiheit wurde in den Vereinigten Staaten nicht erfunden, aber es gibt nur wenige Nationen, in denen die Bedeutung einer unabhängigen Presse in ihrer langen Geschichte so eng verwoben ist. Diese große amerikanische Tradition des bürgerlichen Respekts vor Wahrheit und Wahrheit ist jetzt in Gefahr.“
.

.
The New Yorker, Wochenzeitschrift, schreibt dazu aktuell:
.
„Because Trump knows little about policy or history, it is tempting to imagine that he knows nothing at all. This is a mistake. He knows well that the American press is hardly popular and, in many ways, is on the defensive.“
.
„Weil Trump wenig über Politik oder Geschichte weiß, ist es verlockend, sich vorzustellen, dass er überhaupt nichts weiß. Das ist ein Fehler. Er weiß, dass die amerikanische Presse kaum populär ist und in vielerlei Hinsicht in der Defensive steht.“
.
Sizing Up the South Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands „The SPJ Region 3 leadership, including in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Alabama, believes it is equally important for local news outlets … supporting our First Amendment right to report accurately on our government.“,

Dietmar Moews meint: Man sollte nie Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichen. Doch möchte ich darauf hinweisen, dass die Amerikanische Verfassung die Demokratie und die Pressefreiheit vorschreibt.
.
Der Appell, den THE BOSTON GLOBE hier publiziert hat, und dem sich so zahlreiche große und kleine Zeitungen und Verlage angeschlossen haben, um auf Freiheit und Demokratie durch freie Kommunikation und Kritik zu pochen, ist Ausdruck der großen Grundmacht der us-amerikanischen Freiheits-Gesinnung. Dagegen ist Trumps Ablehnung der Verfassungs-Essentials ein offener Bruch eines Amts-Eides.
.
Hier steht DONALD TRUMP vor seiner gerichtlichen Entlassung als US-Präsident No. 45.
