Brian Williams and “Facts” got divorced a long way back.
Trump’s criticisms do not reduce the media’s prestige. The media’s propensity for lying reduces its prestige. Trump is just one of the few people willing to call it out.
I read that as, “If they happen to report some facts....”
Trump acknowledged that he indeed might contribute to the media’s decline, but this @sshat won’t even give the guy credit for that, instead he thinks that Trump’s assault came first, not a response to unfair media coverage.
I can’t stand listening to any of them. Even Charles Krauthammer again last night, says he was bewildered at Trump saying that people in the US would be happy if he blew that Russian ship out of the water, as if he was oblivious to the number of congressmen and woman who were whipping up hatred for the USSR.
