Journalists covering nationwide protests against the police killing
of George Floyd have been shot with rubber bullets, tear
gassed, assaulted and arrested by police. Advocates for journalists
say there has been an unprecedented amount of violence against
reporters and photographers this week, which they say is
threatening the rights of a free press. Forum discusses attacks on
the news media and whether President Trump’s frequent criticisms
