Attacks on media covering the protests are simply following the president’s rhetoric - Poynter
When President Trump, the leader of the free world, disrespects the press, why should we expect citizens to respect them?
For his entire administration, Trump has continually bashed the media — calling it “lamestream” and “fake news” and, worse of all, “the enemy of the people.” Perhaps then it should come as no surprise that the media was a target for violence and attacks all over the nation during its coverage of the protests.
