Hot off another round of appearances on the national media circle, Gov. John Kasich was back in Ohio again, meeting with a large group of newspaper editors from publications around the U.S. Kasich had a message about the importance of journalism.
While speaking to editors with Gatehouse Media, a conglomeration of newspaper publications, Kasich reiterated his support for immigration reform and a bipartisan health care plan.
Kasich, who鈥檚 been doing lots of national interviews but not many in state, says it鈥檚 important for journalists to continue scrutinizing and verifying the work of the government.
鈥淢y goodness, we need you to stand up against us or whoever it is and to be able to report the news and the facts and be able to let the story go where it is. I mean this idea where you鈥檙e all fake news, I think that鈥檚 a bunch of boloney.鈥�
When asked to comment on the current national and international tensions when it comes to race and North Korea, Kasich said he鈥檚 done being baited into reacting to what President Donald Trump says or tweets.
