The AP ran a headline after the Iranians shot down a jet last week, saying:
Iranian General Killed In US Strike, Then Innocents Suffer...
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... |

the Iranian regime is thrilled to know that the democrat party, the American left and the American main stream media are their newest proxies, and obama and kerry are top advisors |

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. |

Which in his narrow vision is any outlet other than Fox, unless of course they start to be critical of him and then they too suddenly are the enemy. Fake to him means anything that paints him in a bad light. |

If the "bad light" is inaccurate, then it is fake. |

He calls anything painting him in a bad light fake it doesn’t matter to him if it’s factual, which is ironic for a guy topping over 10,000 lies or false statements to date. |

OK. I'll resort to your method of just saying stuff. He calls anything painting him in a bad light fake news when it isn't true. |
