The article did not mention that they covered a narrative that Trump disliked. Where did you get that from?

    It may well be retaliatory, but not for that specific article/poll. The Trump administration proposed defunding Stars and Stripes back in February. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/the-stars-and-stripes-newspaper-has-long-supported-the-troops-now-it-needs-congresss-support/2020/06/18/10046b92-8982-11ea-8ac1-bfb250876b7a_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/the-stars-... > In February, the Trump administration proposed eliminating all of the publication’s federal support in 2021. That’s more than $15 million a year, about half its budget. “I can’t think of a graver threat to its independence,” the paper’s ombudsman, Ernie Gates, told me recently. “That’s a fatal cut.”

      Thanks, I should have noticed that too. My fault for commenting before coffee. Sucks that you've been downvoted for pointing out a fact.

      Oops, well spotted. He's still a tin-pot dictator rabidly against the press, but this particular correlation doesn't seem to be causative.
