More Fake News! WH Press Member Lays Dead MD Reporters at trump/sanders Feet

During the White House press briefing today, some members of the press decided to make phony links and assign preemptive guilt to donald trump and sarah huckabee sanders.

"Challenging her directly, one reporter responded: ‘Tell that to the five dead journalists in Maryland.’

On June 28 a gunman stormed the newsroom at the Annapolis Capital newspaper and shot dead John McNamara, Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, Wendi Winters and Rebecca Smith.

Another journalist at the White House Thursday griped afterward: ‘She’s going to get us killed!’

Still no mention from acosta and company about the Rachel Maddow loving Bernie Sanders supporter, james hodgkinson, who shot multiple people at a Congressional softball practice as he attempted to kill as many Republicans as possible.

As we all know, the Annapolis shooting was completely unrelated to anything political and came from a years long dispute between the killer and the newspaper. Too bad members of the media are unaware of this fact.

Did Sanders and Trump not call the Press the enemy of the American people.

No other media outlet is reporting that unattributed quote. Not saying it’s “fake news” just that it’s unsubstantiated.

But ultimately, you’re burying the lead here. Sanders pretty much refused to say that the press is not the “enemy of the people”. Which is … insane. Totally insane. Maybe she thinks Acosta is a dick but how hard is it to say “No, I don’t think the press is the enemy of the people.”???

As far as I know, trump has called Fake News the enemy of the American people.

And that has nothing at all to do with a White House press member blaming trump/sanders for the Annapolis murders.

who id the arbitrator of what is and isn’t “Fake” news.

Press members and other media have been openly calling the president the same and a traitor. They’ve been working people up into a frenzy. Just ask Scalise.

Ok? But doesn’t change the fact that literally no other media, including FoxNews is reporting on that quote.

They are… no ifs and or buts.

So, what you’re saying is that Donald Trump did not call the News Media the Enemy of the American People. He just called the NY Times, NBC News, ABC, CBS, and CNN the Enemy of the American People.

Each and every listener and reader.

It appears that way. Basically everyone he doesn’t like.

Fake News Media are not the entire media. It’s a faction of the media. Substantial portion, to be sure, but definitely not all of it.

Just NY Times, NBC News, ABC, CBS, and CNN.

That’s not a big deal. Right?

Enemy of the American People.

Only the portions that dare to be critical of an administration led by a blatant liar, misogynist, casual racist, and overall general scumbag.

That’s not a nice way to talk about the president. Have some class.

who determiners that?

So just some of the press are enemies of the people. The ones that Trump doesn’t like.

Who’s part of the non-fake mews media?

who decides what is and isn’t Fake News?
