Trump's regular verbal broadsides against the reporters who cover him may not be the most direct such attack in American history: Abraham Lincoln ordered the jailing of Northern newspaper reporters and editors who publicly opposed freeing black slaves in the South as a rationale for a civil war.

The current president has moved to temporarily suspend two reporters' White House credentials, and his use of social media to demonize his First Amendment-protected antagonists has had the most stinging impact on the profession in generations.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
