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 But this ends at Tucker, right? He's different, right? Btw, how's your ocean front property? I mean, after convincing Americans, the sea-level is rising, and to make it stop, they need to pay more taxes, or else.

@JackLombardi @BarackObama @columbiajourn Tucker isnt a journalist. He is thought-provoking entertainer and a damn good interviewer.

@JackLombardi @BarackObama @columbiajourn Thank God you didn’t put Tucker and journalist in the same sentence
