US PRESIDENTIAL RESPONSE TO ASSAULT ON JOURNALIST
That this House acknowledges the reported comments of President Trump regarding an incident where a US Congressman pleaded guilty to assaulting a reporter; deplores the increase in biased, vindictive agenda-setting reporting and other similar types of behavior which is becoming more commonplace in the UK by a small number of print and broadcast journalists; condemns unequivocally, and without reservation, physical assaults on any reporter; and calls for the robust, democratic challenge of media sources where there is bias and partisan activity carried out in the name of fair and objective journalism.
