CNN Anchor: Trump Putting Journalists In Danger; "Declaration Of War On Media" Has (trunc)
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 28th, 2017 | By Ian Schwartz

CNN's Clarissa Ward, a foreign correspondent, served as guest co-host on Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's News Day. Ward fretted "people" in war zones have been "emboldened" by President Trump's "declaration of war on the media." Ward, expressing concern for members of the media in dangerous areas of the world, said to guest Chris Cillizza, 'I can only imagine what a person like you is dealing with. At what point does this become reckless or irresponsible?'

It should be noted Chris Cillizza is a Washington-based political correspondent and commentator.

Playboy White House correspondent Brian Karem, who has received new-found fame after his exchange with White House deputy spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders at Tuesday's press briefing, said Ward is "absolutely right" and talked about the trial and tribulations of reporters who have been jailed and even killed.

"Our newspapers after Donald Trump's election, we've gotten threats from both the far left and the far right," Karem said. "They are emboldened, it is dangerous, and the fact of the matter is, it is insulting to the memory of the people who have given their lives for the cause for providing information to the public to then be told you are fake media, you do not matter, and what you're doing is false."

More fake news. Who are they going to sacrifice? Or are they saying that if they print, publish, broadcast the true story about Hillary’s emails that they will die?

And spare us the melodrama!

It is a dangerous job to cover communism and communists in their true form.

They are ignoring the polls which show that Americans have less trust in the media than almost any other entity, including less than Congress.

“We need to pray for the safety of journalists because if something happens they’ll do everything they can to throw it back on Trump.”

So? I don’t care if the Nazi propagandists whine.

Instead of the GOP congress critters fearing the media, it’s nice
to see the MSM becoming fearful.

I like it.

OK, I’m just going to say it. If ISIS held a mass beheading of mainstream American journalists I think the entire country would give a standing ovation.

What do you call it when the press pool plane crashes, with no survivors except for the aircrew & service staff?

A good start...

It should be dangerous for conspirators in a coupe when around those who voted for the legitimately elected president. Why should those who try to undermine our nations democratically elected government, why should they not feel in danger?

Call yourselves reporters/journalists/ballerinas - whatever it doesn't change the fact that CNN in concert with elected democrats and career government types knowingly tried to create a false narrative so as to bring down a presidency. These people should be scared remember when you go to kill the king you better kill him.

Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, anyone anyone anyone ... your're fired.
