This World Press Freedom Day, take a look at @BarackObama's remarks at the @columbiajourn Faultlines: Democracy conference, and why the free press is vital for democracy to survive and thrive.

Journalists have always been on the front lines of the struggle for democracy. That’s why we need to keep standing up for the rights of journalists around the world. Grateful that we have @columbiajourn and people like Jelani Cobb taking on this important work.

@BarackObama @columbiajourn So says the president that allowed the press to use governmental propaganda

@BarackObama @columbiajourn Obama: the street hustlin' slickster who did nothing good - but did it very well.

@CraigLipton4 @GirlBoss2024 @elonmusk @BarackObama @columbiajourn They can’t. They can find other misinformation that validates their bullshit theories. But to be clear… - Trump legitimately lost (even he knows this) - Vaccines are safe and work - Jewish space lasers don’t cause forest fires - Planes crashed into the WTC

@BarackObama @columbiajourn Is this a call to free Julian Assange? Oh wait, no, no it isn’t.
