There is no competition really: The GOP - and especially Trump, its leader - regularly calls journalists 'enemies of the people'. Local GOP government officials persecute journalists using government powers (as described in the article).

We thought Dubya was bad, but dems out did him and Biden continues the fine legacy. In fact Biden went a step further and unleashed lawfare on his political opponents, jailing many of them.
