NY Times' Baquet: Trump putting my reporters 'lives at risk' with personal attacks
The Hill ^ | 11 18 2019 | Joe Concha

Posted on 11/18/2019 6:10:33 AM PST by yesthatjallen

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.

If the press were actually afraid of getting attacked, they probably wouldn’t lie so much.

So I’m not buying it.

By Baquet’s standards, his reporters should be arrested immediately for putting the President’s life at risk via their “personal attacks”.

When reporters report fake news, they put their careers at risk.

The Democrat media live in fear? Good. Those arrogant little snots think they’re better than the rest of us.

Trump has cut them down to size and has shown the emperor wears no clothes. Go figure.

Failing NYT among them.

The only journalists I hear about getting attacked are conservative journalists.

NY Times covered up the millions of killings by the communists and socialists. They still do.
