Lots of Trump's detractors passed around the smelling salts upon seeing this tweet
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!
They have ben saying "Trump is attacking the press, calling the press 'enemies of the people', that's an attack on the 1st amendment"
This is both an absurd and hypocritical reactions from the left. Trump attacks the left wing of the commercial media (NYT, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN). That apparently the crime of crimes. Democrat presidents and politicians attack the right wing of the commercial media (Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, Breitbart/Project Veritas) and apparently that's fine and not an attack on the 1st amendment.
The left seems to think that the left wing of the mass commercial media IS the press. The right wing of mass commercial media as well a Youtube channels/twitter accounts/blogs etc apparently don't count so much as being 'the press' and attacking them is apparently not a problem.
I agree with you. My eyes have been definitely been opened in the past few years, reading about examples of media bias, hypocrisy, and lies. It is amazing, the negativity which has been attached to the past month. It's as if the whole world is crashing down, in a very disastrous manner.
