Ari Fleischer is wrong.
In promoting his new book Suppression, Deception, Snobbery, and Bias: Why the Press Gets So Much Wrong — And Just Doesn’t Care, the former White House Press Secretary writes the following: “The press is not the enemy of the people, but they are their own worst enemy. And they’ve done this to themselves.”
Sorry, Ari.
The media are, in fact, your enemy. And mine. And ours.
...
As I will argue in a forthcoming book, the American media is now the equivalent of the Stasi, the diabolical East German secret police who acted like a violent criminal gang under communism. The Stasi engaged in violence, threats, and lies to make people turn on friends and family members, all in the service of creating some absurd socialist utopia.
The American press today is no different.
...
Remember when the press told you the Steele dossier might be true? Or that President Trump removed blue mailboxes from street corners so he could steal the 2020 election? Or that Russia paid bounties to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan? Or that COVID could not possibly have originated in a Chinese lab? Or that Melania Trump turned the Rose Garden into a neofascist parade ground? Or that Nicholas Sandmann was a thug and Kyle Rittenhouse a white supremacist? Each of these is wrong. Each was reported by the mainstream media.
If I were Kyle Rittenhouse or Nicholas Sandmann, I would very much consider the media my enemy.

Agree entirely. Great commentary!
Ari is a deep State swamp rat.
See my tagline.
that pretty well nails the definition of DC Swamp Creatures...
of course they don't view themselves as Swamp Creatures...They view themselves as Lifeguards of the Olympic sized money pool that is DC....
Yep!
The media class are a key part of our ruling class.
