Tom Hanks gives White House press espresso machine  to 'fight for the truth'

Actor Tom Hanks donated an espresso machine Thursday to the White House press corps for the third time in 13 years, adding a note to encourage the journalists to continue their work.

"Keep up the good fight for the truth, justice and the American way," Hanks wrote in a note, which was delivered by mail. "Especially for the Truth part."

Hanks first donated an espresso machine in 2004, again in 2010, and again this week saying, "Let me see what I can do for the poor slobs of the fourth estate."
