President Donald J. Trump, who has endured 90% negative coverage from the network news programs for more than a year, tweeted today that the reporting by the New York Times "is false," and added that The Times is a "true ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE."

NYT Publisher A.G. Sulzberger responded in a statement posted online, saying that Trump's views are "false" and "dangerous."

In his Feb. 20 tweet, Trump wrote, "The New York Times reporting is false. They are a true ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE."

NYT Publisher A.G. Sulzberger criticized the president's "continued attacks on a free press," and further said, "The phrase 'enemy of the people' is not just false, it’s dangerous. It has an ugly history of being wielded by dictators and tyrants who sought to control public information. And it is particularly reckless coming from someone whose office gives him broad powers to fight or imprison the nation’s enemies."

"As I have repeatedly told President Trump face to face, there are mounting signs that this incendiary rhetoric is encouraging threats and violence against journalists at home and abroad," said Sulzberger.

President Trump is right again.

And PDJT is a true friend and ally of the American people.

Sulzberger is fuming “NOBODY talks about the NYT like that and gets away with it!!! Doesn’t he know who we are!!?”

It is immoral for anyone to defend themselves against lies if they are told by the "free" deep-state press.

Yep. Because NO ‘Journalists’ were killed prior to Trump’s Presidency. *Rolleyes*

110 killed in 2015 on ‘0bama’s Watch!’ Most of them by ‘The Religion of Peace,’ Islam! Was it 0bama’s ‘rhetoric’ that got them killed?

Oy! These people!

We’ve heard of the Hollywood play actors Emmy awards. Always awarding themselves and back slapping each other.

Maybe we should host an “Enemy’s awards” for the most corrupt media organizations. We could hold it every month since there are so many contestants.

But that's what the media say about Trump. So it's only "false and dangerous" when they say it is? Sorry, not accepting that. Stuff it, NYT!

Yes it and most of MSM are. This should be obvious to anyone not sleeping.

It isn’t about Dem/Rep, left/right, liberal/conservative, it is about enemies of USConstituion and We-The-Peoples right to lawful USgovernment.

Yeah... but what’s the down side?

There is no free press. It is owned and run by mostly foreign billionaires who hate Trump. A joke.

there are mounting signs that the arrogance and dishonesty of so-called journalists is encouraging threats and violence against so-called journalists at home and abroad, said not Sulzberger.
