The U.S. Senate today (August 16, 2018) unanimously adopted a resolution affirming support for a free press and declaring that "the press is not the enemy of the people," according to the Euro News website.
The resolution was a rebuke to President Donald Trump who has often called reporters "the enemy of the people."
The vote comes after more than 300 U.S. newspapers today launched a coordinated defense of press freedom and rebuked Trump for denouncing some media organizations as enemies of the American people.
Trump has frequently criticized journalists and described news reports that contradict his opinion or policy positions as "fake news."
