New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet alleged in a new interview that President Trump is putting reporters "lives at risk" by calling them names and personally attacking them.
“I think his personal attacks on reporters, including Maggie [Haberman], are pretty awful and pretty unpresidential,” Baquet told The Guardian. “I think personal attacks on journalists, when he calls them names, I think he puts their lives at risk."
“I think that when he actually calls reporters names, says they’re un-American, says they’re enemies of the people ... that phrase has a deep history," he added. "I think when he says that, it is an appalling attack on the press.”
Baquet was also asked if he thought Trump was a racist.
“I don’t know. I think Donald Trump says racially divisive things. I think that’s a little bit different. I’m not in his head enough to know whether he says them because he wants to stoke his base," the 63-year-old replied.

Amen...
Bunch of losers.
A Presstitute complaining about being called names? What a frikkin joke, you can’t make this crap up.
“That could work both ways...relentless attacks on President Trump likely do put his life at extra risk.”

Yes it does (and they know it!) and if anything happens to him I will hold them personally responsible.
I love how these elites have no idea what a hornets nest they are messing with.
President Trump says that reporters are un-American and enemies of the people because it’s true
And who are they putting at risk with their nonstop agenda of hate?
Boo hoo Banquet. Try reading your hateful, lying, fake news paper once in a while. The NYT has treated the Donald and his family viciously.
So, using that “logic,” the presidents life is put at greater risk because of the vitriolic rhetoric that the msm use to attack the president daily.
I think the New York Times, calling the President names, personally attacking him, calling him crazy and helping to undermine his presidency, is putting the President’s life at risk, and putting the welfare of the American people at risk. Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive. Give Baquet a mirror.
Mr. Baquet, complaining that Trump calling journalists names could cause them harm, obviously has no sense of irony.
WINNING!
I worry about the abject HATRED the press has for Trump. We know it inspires violence. Remember Steve Scalise?
Well, the darlings could move to Benghazi and provide a before and after update. You know...the reporter on the street type of interview.
There is also an opening in Barisha, Syria.
It’s not our side that gratuitously assaults people because we don’t agree with them. It’s your beloved socialist democrats who do that.
Leftist threats against POTUS and his family are on the rise, and it’s all due to the dishonest, anti-TRUMP and anti-American media. So I have no sympathy for these “journalists” — let them hide in their basements until the SHTF.
The media puts their own lives at risk by their LIES.
The NYT has spent more than 3 years making personal attacks on Trump.
Hey Baquet. The lies your rag keeps spewing are putting the country at risk. Your reporters are a disgrace to the journalism profession. They deserve to be called out by the president when you smear him 24/7/365!
I would say these death threats are just an attention grab that is made up. How many people who have received a death threat are actually dead now? Other than perhaps domestic conflicts I would say none. If anyone who received a death threat was actually killed it would be all over the news.
Fags and hags. To hell with all of them.
I love the charge from the left that Trump is “unpresidential”. They are so f’n stupid. That’s exactly WHY he was elected! To break the uniparty mold and hold and monopoly on the idea of what a president is and does or doesn’t do. All of them ABA members. Both parties polluted. To be the reformer. Because he truly is the outsider. A non-politician. We really haven’t had one of those in a very long time. Maybe Eisenhower. Maybe never.
YOU Can stop the attacks, Maggie. All you have to do is to be truthful, fair and accurate. So long as you are acting as a lying rabble-rouser against conservatives and Trump, lying about them and advocating against them, you are not practicing journalism and you are asking for the treatment you are getting. So don’t p!$$ on me and tell me it’s raining.
