Otherhand, I like how you fulminate against our President presumably for his "both sides" remark, as well his abnegation and unwillingness to directly name the alt-right,(he later did) yet in your own missive you do the same. You used three specific names for the right's hate groups(essentially all the same) but only refer to the left's as "fringe groups". Your bias is lucid and transparent. 
Words are important and when you fail to use them all you do is give credence to those who should be disemboweled, such as Antifa, BLM and the Islamic society of North America. 
Moreover, your notion the President's right to free speech is no longer a appurtenance provided to him will only serve as the stepping stone to strip all citizens of free speech. So until he takes the right of free press away from those he calls liars, there's no accreditation for your call to "[defend] the free press" since words don't prevent anyone from freely reporting. Once again, your biasness has betrayed you.
