Excerpt the OP failed to include:
As Trump was leaving the White House Friday, a reporter yelled, “You’re encouraging politically motivated violence with the way you speak.”
Trump pointed at the reporter and shot back, “You’re creating violence by your question.”
The reporter gasped, “Me?” and Trump replied, “You are creating — you.”
The president continued, saying that violence is stoked up by “fake news.”
As he explained to the reporter:
“A lot of the reporters are creating violence by not writing the truth. The fake news is creating violence. You know what? The people that support Trump and the people that support us, which is a lot of people, most people, many people, those people know when a story is true and when a story is false. If the media would write correctly and write accurately and write fairly, you’d have a lot less violence in the country.”
As Trump was leaving the White House Friday, a reporter yelled, “You’re encouraging politically motivated violence with the way you speak.”
These people are no longer journalists, they are advocates.
Donald Trump still has his First Amendment rights just like any other US citizen, so what’s the problem?
Mike Wallace at a townhall forum said journalists who know in advance of an attack on our troops should remain neutral and cover the carnage.
“Reporters first, Americans second”
