TRUTH
The great spiritual master Guru Nanak called God “Truth.” So when the Trump administration calls truth “treason,” it represents one of the gravest wrongs a person can commit.
WHEN TRUTH IS CALLED TREASON
Recent threats by Donald Trump to label media reporting on the Iran war as “treason” mark a dangerous descent into authoritarian rhetoric. Reports indicate he has even considered forcing journalists to reveal their sources and punishing outlets for coverage he deems unfavorable.
In any democracy, the press is not an enemy of the state—it is a safeguard against it. Branding dissent or investigative reporting as disloyalty undermines constitutional freedoms and chills truth-telling at a critical time of conflict.
War demands scrutiny, not silence. If governments can decide what is “patriotic news,” then truth becomes a casualty long before the battlefield claims lives.
