they should have been doing all along, calling out his lies and ignorance.

Here is what I believe is really important: 45 took a solemn oath as President to uphold and defend the Constitution ...
By threatening the press/media he is violating that oath in the second most dangerous way to the nation, the first being refusing to defend the nation against foreign enemies (we are not quite there yet.)

But we are definitely at the point of his abuse of power on the 1st Amendment. No one is taking this as seriously as they should be in my opinion. The ACLU or some other legal group should take this up. Believe me, if Obama had done or threaten the press as 45 continues to do, Judicial Watch would be all over him with law suits and pushing for impeachment.
