CNN's Cuomo Says President Trump Wants To Make The Media ‘An Enemy Of The State' [VIDEO]
2017-06-29
[Daily Caller] CNN "New Day" host Chris Cuomo said Wednesday President Donald Trump is at war with the media and out to make reporters "an enemy of the state."

"At the end of the day we have been here before my brothers," said Cuomo.

"This is a de facto declaration of making the media an enemy of the state, that is what this effort winds up amounting to," he said. "It’s not just Cillizza, it’s not just Cuomo, it’s not just one story. It’s all of them all the time, they’re all fake. Don’t trust them, [reporters] only trust us [The White House]."

CNN politics reporter Chris Cillizza said Trump is fixated on the media because it’s what helped him rise to power.

"Almost every morning particularly yesterday and this morning it’s about the media," said Cillizza."It’s about the fake news media. That’s what he cares about that. That’s what animates him. That’s is at the fundamental core of why the guy ran for president."

He added reporters have to adapt and change their style of covering the White House, but fellow panelist and executive editor of The Sentinel Newspapers, Brian Karem, disagreed.

#10  So the press is supposed to be at odds with the administration. That's how it is supposed to work. Its not supposed to be hate filled lies from the press, its not supposed to be propaganda machines spinning people into a frenzy, it is supposed to be honest reporting calling out the issues for explanation. The press has lost its way due to 8 years of coddling and hero worshiping of the last POTUS.

#8  CNN "New Day" host Chris Cuomo said Wednesday President Donald Trump is at war with the media and out to make reporters "an enemy of the state."

There are many things wrong with this statement:

1. CNN discredited itself with fake news to besmirch a POTUS who they can't accept; HRC, in their view, was supposed to be the inevitable coronated queen.
2. The CNN have an over-inflated view of who they are and what they do. They are hacks who shill for the Democratic Party and anything left. Some call it propaganda. Propaganda often has a germ of truth to it albeit distorted and inflated. What they do is just scurrilous faked news. See "fake dossier" for an example.
3. CNN does not deserve to have the protections of the 1st Amendment as they don't practice anything that resembles a "free press" unless by "free" it means free to publish anything that is misleading, scatological and libelous.

#7  "Rope, Tree, Journalist; Some assembly required."

People do not like being lied to. Large groups of people especially don't like being lied to.

CNN and the media have been lying to a very large group of people for a long time - and now the people are becoming aware of it.

So they blame Trunp...

#5  From the people when a certain community of citizens riot, always ask us to examine the cause as in 'blame America'. That's why self examination fails for you, you always fall back on 'blame America'. What advice could be offered, but 'adapt or perish'.
