BS like that, as well as what Hannity does every night, hurt the country. These people are knowingly hurting the country, but they don't care, either because they want money or a political outcome.

"Enemy Of The People" is a bit strong, but it's not way off.

Conservatives want a free press, as long as they aren't in the bag...
Trump said "fake news" is an enemy of the people. He did not say the Press or the Media is the enemy of the people. And Press, Media, or commentators can be both right or wrong. But when they misinform in important matters, especially with biased motivation, they are indeed a form of enemy to the people who depend on them for the information needed to make decisions on how the country is governed.

It is that type of misinformation that Trump refers to as fake.
