Media relations experts — or, really, anyone with an ounce of common sense — would probably agree that Trump doesn't help his coverage by attacking CNN and its journalists. Reporters, anchors and producers are human, after all, and being called "terrible" or "fake news" or "wannabe journalist" can't possibly make anyone more sympathetic.
But journalists are called to try as hard as humanly possible to compartmentalize all that stuff and continue to cover Trump fairly. Revenge is not in the job description.
Maybe not your job description, fool.
These people have spent the last eight years aiding and abetting a man in the accumulation of immensely unprecedented power into the oval office. Can they really not appreciate the crap-storm they've just unleashed upon themselves?

The assumption is, the goal is coverage. That is not the goal.
