Not even their "colleagues" are defending them.

Shep Smith's half-hearted effort on daytime FNC is the only instance worth mentioning.

Thanks for the correction.

Although it appears that Mr. Smith's defense was rooted in his theory that the President doesn't have the right to "belittle or delegitimize" any "journalist."

This is pretty much the standard MSM line: they are special, in a special, protected class of human being.

Of course they get to determine who is a "journalist" and who is not, who gets the protection of the First Amendment and who does not, who gets their stories labeled as "fake news" and who is protected from that label.

But anyway, you are right and I stand corrected. One of their colleagues, Shepard Smith, did defend them.
