Top media figures may not openly acknowledge it, but they're at war with President Donald Trump, whose rhetorical assault on many major media outlets has been undeterred by his ascension to the nation's highest office.
During a Thursday event at New York University titled "Not The New Normal: How The Media Should Cover The Trump Presidency," top media figures from Slate, The Huffington Post, The New Yorker, and Univision ruminated — and at times fretted — over how their outlets planned to proceed in face of a White House that uses its own "alternative facts" and remains actively hostile to the news media.
"This is an emergency," New Yorker editor David Remnick said, repeatedly urging media outlets to "buck up."
"Everything is fragile. Magazines are fragile. Television stations are fragile. NYU may not last until the 400th century, who knows? And it's demanded of us to vouchsafe that which is valuable, and invaluable, and constitutional."
If Trump's frequent, occasionally personal critiques of opponents during the campaign disturbed some reporters, the first days of his presidency were an equally ominous sign that the press would face years of opposition from a president who seems eager to battle for every factual inch.
Reports have indicated that Trump's administration almost immediately set about putting gag orders on several government departments upon taking power, barring them from releasing information to the public and to the press. (White House press secretary Sean Spicer has denied this.)
At the CIA on Saturday, Trump dismissed his feud with the intelligence community as an outcome of his "running war with the media," whom the president dubbed the "most dishonest people on earth." Later the same day, Spicer delivered a terse statement chastising media reports

Confronted by its own falsehoods, the Trump team did not relent.

BI is a model of left wing editors
Reagan bypassed the press and congress and went directly to the American people.
The left was terrified by that...
Fake news is irrelevant.
Dear Mr. Remnick:
These media outlets would not be so "fragile" if they were not caught pushing left-wing falsehoods and covering up for left wingers whose misdeeds deserved much more thorough coverage (think Hillary here).
It is very easy these days to ascertain where and when we are being deceived, and we really, really do not like it.
The informed public will not miss you.
Slate and Huff are just hate sites now. I guess BI is their bytch.
Because leftists know that the media is always on their side..they always have been..the “Media” is 98 percent liberal

Stop posting Fake News. We don’t need it
It is an emergency because the media is one of the pillars of mass indoctrination.
If its messages cannot be delivered in an unchallenged manner, then the indoctrination will be weaker.
By the way, “Delivered Messages” is the English translation of the name of the Soviet-era newspaper “Izvestia.”
Well, Trump has certainly made them look rather bovine, so they would be ruminating, now wouldn't they?
Someone here at work said he read these incidents are starting to be caused by people suffering from:
Trump
Anxiety
Repulsion
Derangement
Syndrome
TARDS
This hasn’t even begun. The lying media is going to be further exposed for their collusion and corruption. It’s coming.
Obama shoves change down our throats: “It’s the new normal! Get used to it.”
Trump shoves change down their throats: “This is WAR!!!”
Speaking of left wing editors, I don't know who's the bigger idiot, the person who said this or the person who let it get into print.
I’d love to hear Paul Shanklin to a redux of KC and the Sunshine Band , ‘ Shake Your Bootie’...
‘Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake your newscast, fake your newscast...
We're surrounded by corrupt media.
“remains actively hostile to the news media”
The media has been “actively hostile” to any non-socialist for decades.
They know that even now, newspapers are not a viable business model, and local TV stations are not far behind. Viewership is down 7.7% each year, and nothing survives in that business climate.
President Trump has simply said that he will not feed the monster trying to destroy him.
Simply put, the media have been bullies for years, and they “can dish it out but can’t take it.”
Well, pathological liars do feel like it’s an emergency whenever their lies catch up to them. Like the British journalist being interviewed by some CNN correspondent and informed the commie that CNN stands for “Clinton News Network.” The CNN flunkie was horrified. She didn’t realize people knew.
