Former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump sent starkly different messages about the role of the media on Sunday, a date that the United Nations has designated World Press Freedom Day.

Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, issued a statement praising journalists for "upholding free and open democracies, both here at home and around the world."

Trump, by contrast, began his day by: "The Fake News doesn't show real polls. Lamestream Media is totally CORRUPT, the Enemy of the People!"
