The staff of the Capital Gazette took a jab at President Trump, days after a gunman opened fired in their newsroom and killed five people.
The staff of the Annapolis, Md., newspaper released a letter on Sunday to thank those who have offered support in the aftermath of the shooting.
“We won’t forget being called an enemy of the people,” the staff wrote. “No, we won’t forget that. Because exposing evil, shining light on wrongs and fighting injustice is what we do.”
Their comment appears to be a thinly-veiled hit at Trump’s use of the phrase to attack members of the media.
Trump has used the term consistently throughout his contentious relationship with the press.
Most recently, Trump rallied against NBC and CNN last month for its coverage of his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
“Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!” Trump tweeted in June.
The president backed off his criticism of the media one day after the shooting and offered rare praise for reporters.
“Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job,” Trump said Friday at an event to celebrate six months of the GOP tax bill.
CNN’s Jim Acosta shouted at Trump from the back of the room during the event.
“Mr. President, will you stop calling the press the enemy of the people?” Acosta yelled.
CNN later aired a montage on Friday of Trump talking down about the media.

Hey CC. Trump didn’t leave the building unguarded. YOU DID! and you paid for your stupidity.
Hate turned deadly and was returned to you in spades, for funerals.
Yes, there is an evil force responsible for this shooting and most of the lone wolf shootings we’ve seen in recent years. There’s more to this than meets the eye. In my best Qanon impression :
What is a false flag?
Why have such lone wolf attacks accelerated in frequency over recent years? How can a disturbed individual be manipulated to act out in ways that are politically beneficial to the deep state? Think narrative change, distraction. What was MKUltra? Open source. The Deep State is scared and desperate. The end is near.
If you accept that there exists such a thing as The Deep State, is it really that much of a stretch to believe they would carry out false flags for perceived political gain and could have developed the capability to do so? After all, they’ve already demonstrated that they were willing to sell the country out with U1, and a host of other scandals.
So they are admitting they are fake news?
Trump was specific in naming fake news as the enemy.
Disingenuous bastards.
Spitting on their own dead in hopes of hitting Trump...pathetic and sick....
The Capital is a subsidiary of the Baltimore Sun papers. Except for local news they are as relevant as a supermarket penny saver.
>>Bitter Libs ... aweful people ...<<
Awful in every sense of the world. And dangerous as well, but the good news is that sooner or later they all get the hell they so richly deserve. Scum of the earth.
>>The lying communist media is the enemy of the people.<<
Absolutely no question about it.
Well then, try not being the enemy of the people.
Disavowing the latest news-coordination forum would be a good start.
>>The mainstream media speak power to truth.<<
The MSM speaks lies and anti-American propaganda to Morons who haven’t the critical thinking skills to figure that out.
SO you KNEW that Trump was talking about you and your campaign of lies?
He has the duty to call out dishonesty by its real name.
Seems you just confessed.
Didnt you forget to scream RACIST !!! at him too ?
>>You and yours have turned “journalists” into the most despised group alongside “politicians” and “used car salesmen.”<<
BINGO! These cretins who call themselves “journalists” have trouble writing a simple sentence without some obvious grammatical error, or punctuation or grammatical error.
But what is even more egregious is that virtually all of them are propagandizing liars.
