-- No less so than Josef Goebbels ... --

Or Walter Durante. Was Goebbels an enemy of the German people? Not a rhetorical question. The case can be made that he was NOT, and that his manipulations ADVANCED the German people.

Journalists are enemies of the truth - that is the entire point of the propaganda profession.

They aren’t friends or partnered with the American people.

I saw footage from a townhall discussion between ‘journalists’ discusding their role. I saw it on youtube once but haven’t found it since. I seem to recall Peter Jennings shaming Tom Brokaw into agreeing with him that a journalist should remain objective and neutral and that if the journalist got advance word that US troops were about to he hit, remain silent and cover the carnage.

Yes. Next question ...

The press have proven they are the enemy inside the wire of the Republic of We The People. ERGO the enemy of the Republic of We The People means these verminous scum are enemies of the people.

Guillotines from orbit, its the only way to clean up the filth.

Donald Trump doesn’t call all journalists “enemies of the people,” he says “fake news” is the enemy of the people. That so many journalists, particularly from CNN and MSNBC, hear “fake news” and think of themselves is telling.

Throw a rock over a fence and the dog that yelps is the one that got hit.

The media was friendlier to Saddam Hussein than Donald Trump.

CNN covered up torture and murder under Saddam to keep their Baghdad bureau.

Yes, yes they are.

threatens our democracy

Well we are not a democracy but how ironic and hypocritical for the very group of people that help to undermine our Constitutional Republic to whine about it.

When they utilize the means of mass communication to act as partisan proagandists, they sure are. This has been going on for a long, long time.

I would say no. The hard part is finding a journalist, rather than a propagandist. A journalist would be the one who investigated ‘fast and furious’, the Dem funding of the dossier, the collusion of the FBI with Hillary, the meeting of Clinton and the AG, the fraudulent FISA warrants, etc.

Apparently there are next to none.

Google bows to the whims of the Chinese Communist military and gives the finger to the requests of the US military.

How dare you, sir! How dare you question their loyalty!

They may or may not be the enemy of the people but they are certainly the enemy of the truth.

True reporters, far and few these days, not at all. Sadly most are political activists...leftist activists who call themselves journalists and congratulate eachother when they destroy a political enemy or further a leftist cause.
So blatently obvious these days. If they had any morals they might feel embarrassed.

They are 1/3 of the enemies. The other 1/3 is prog/commie dim politicians (willing tools). The other 1/3 is the folks who, not only allow but, support illegal invaders into our country.

When the WaPo stated running the tag Democracy dies in darkness, i LOL’ed.

Modern journalism in this country is all about spiking any story that is embarrassing or harmful to the Dem Party.

I’d rather call them “delusional opposition” to Trump. “Enemy of the people” has a very dark connotation.

Journalists are not the enemies of illegals and other criminals, of rapists, of druggies, of murderers, or of welfare parasites. They are, however, the enemies of productive American people and of those who are completely innocent, including the unborn.
