Capital Gazette takes hit at Trump: 'We won't forget being called an enemy of the people'
The Hill ^ | 07/01/18 | Morgan Gstalter

The staff of the Capital Gazette took a jab at President Trump, days after a gunman opened fired in their newsroom and killed five people.

The staff of the Annapolis, Md., newspaper released a letter on Sunday to thank those who have offered support in the aftermath of the shooting.

“We won’t forget being called an enemy of the people,” the staff wrote. “No, we won’t forget that. Because exposing evil, shining light on wrongs and fighting injustice is what we do.”

Their comment appears to be a thinly-veiled hit at Trump’s use of the phrase to attack members of the media.

Trump has used the term consistently throughout his contentious relationship with the press.

Most recently, Trump rallied against NBC and CNN last month for its coverage of his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

“Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!” Trump tweeted in June.

The president backed off his criticism of the media one day after the shooting and offered rare praise for reporters.

“Journalists, like all Americans, should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job,” Trump said Friday at an event to celebrate six months of the GOP tax bill.

CNN’s Jim Acosta shouted at Trump from the back of the room during the event.

“Mr. President, will you stop calling the press the enemy of the people?” Acosta yelled.

CNN later aired a montage on Friday of Trump talking down about the media.

It’s good that they’ve identified as Fake News.

They were not killed because of politics!

Nobody deserved the wrath of a barbarian. They fail to realize that they poked a stick into the face of a barbaric psychopathic mass murderer. They tend to stick their sticks into many things and expect zero consequences. These are the same people whose industry has veiled threats of murder and harm to President Trump, his family, cabinet and Conservatives in general on a daily basis since the election.

Milo Yiannopoulos accused the media of cultivating animosity toward President Donald Trump and his base in an ominous email sent to Mediaite, and suggested there would be repercussions.
“If journalists keep lying, deceiving and manipulating the public, then they will reap the same hatred they are sowing against Trump and his voters,” he wrote in an email to Mediaite Tuesday. “Truthfully I take no pleasure in the prospect: I’d rather beat you in a debate hall than a wrestling ring. But you did this to yourselves, and you deserve what’s coming.”

Everything is Trump’s fault including things that happened before he was born.

Actually sounds like you are mouthing the prepared script of your Marxist masters.

Good to hear.

It’s easy in such tradgedies, to forget that real people are dealing with pain.

Yes.... this, exactly

They willingly admit to being fake. They know what they’re doing.

It is good they will not forget Trump’s words. That gives them time to try to understand them.

That’s right and when CNN lies and shafts Bernie Sanders and helps Hillary then they forfeit all these First Amendment protections that they demand. They are political hacks, not journalists. They have chosen sides.

They should be blaming thd owners and editor who knew the guy was a nut
And threat and did nothing to protect them. How have they been covering the police who saved their butts. Probably lots of love for BLM during the Obama years.

If they’re leftists, they’re the enemy of the people. It’s not rocket science.
