Never more true than today:

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders visbly upset some journalists during a briefing on Thursday when she complained about physical dangers she has faced in her job and her unprecedented need for Secret Service protection, and blamed the reporters in the room for causing it.
Challenging her directly, one reporter responded: 'Tell that to the five dead journalists in Maryland.'
On June 28 a gunman stormed the newsroom at the Annapolis Capital newspaper and shot dead John McNamara, Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, Wendi Winters and Rebecca Smith.
Another journalist at the White House Thursday griped afterward: 'She’s going to get us killed!'
Hours earlier Ivanka Trump had expressed disagreement with the President Donald Trump's repeated claim that the political media are 'the enemy of the people.'
'I have certainly received my fair share of reporting on me personally that I know not to be fully accurate,' the first daughter said during an event convened by the Axios news website, 'so I have some sensitivity around why people have concerns and gripe, especially when they sort of feel targeted.'
'But no, I do not feel that the media is the enemy of the people.'
When a CNN correspondent asked Sanders if she would follow suit, she deflected the question.
The president most recently used the incendiary phrase four days ago, in a tweet about his reported conversation with New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger.

THE FOUNDATION
“During the course of administration, and in order to disturb it, the artillery of the press has been levelled against us, charged with whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare. These abuses of an institution so important to freedom and science are deeply to be regretted, inasmuch as they tend to lessen its usefulness and to sap its safety.” —Thomas Jefferson (1805)
The media zealots tell Sarah Sanders her problems don’t count: she’s a spokeswoman for a wrong-thinker and she deserves scorn and derision.
They, however, are Journalists and protectors of the right-thinkers. Being so special, that makes their problems highly important and deserving of exceptional consideration and sympathy.
Journalists have no discernment
Journalists are detached from facts
Check out Trump’s Tweet about Ivanka, he protects her but points out it is the FAKE news that is the enemy.
Zero relevance and red herring. These idiots always think they are so self important and will tap dance on blood to advance liberalism and hate Trump.
‘Tell that to the five dead journalists in Maryland.’
Which had nothing to do with legitimate criticism of journalists being incredibly biased but about a man who held a personal grudge against that paper. Which only proves how journalists are a rather ignorant lot on the whole.
No they weren’t and shame on you.
Shame on me for what?
So what's the identity of this half-wit "reporter?" This person's twitter feed should blow-up for making such an asinine inference.
Like I said, revoke them all and shut down the press office. What purpose is it actually serving?
Ceausescu thought he was "tough but fair," too.
What do yu call five dead Annapolis presstitutes....... a good start
(with apologies to lawers that are the traditionally butt of this joke)
You caught that too.. I wonder how many people are going to be fooled by it. There's a world of difference between a nut with a long-standing personal issue with that newspaper and White House complaints about the Enemedia.

And Jim Costa if you are lurking...
You are safer at a Trump Rally surrounded by Deplorables than you are going for a ride with Ted Kennedy in a 1967 Delmont 88, you Jadrool, you, you Bacala !
You should be ashamed of yourself for what you do to us and Lovely Ms Sarah, Shame on you…
This isn’t new. Remember:
Annoy the Media Relect President Bush

You’re working under the assumption that he has a conscience.
Zero connection
Local grudge local nut

That sounds like a good reason to know which one it was...
