Journalist Twitter is angry again. The target this time is the Newseum. Its museum’s gift shop now sells President Trump-related paraphernalia, including “Make America Great Again” hats. It also sells T-shirts reading, “You Are Very Fake News.”

Newseum director of public relations Sonya Gavankar told Poynter in a statement, “As a nonpartisan organization, people with differing viewpoints feel comfortable visiting the Newseum, and one of our greatest strengths is that we’re champions not only of a free press but also of free speech.” Perhaps she could have added that it’s cheeky and cool to wear “fake news” as a badge of honor.
