New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet on Sunday called President Donald Trump's attacks on the New York Times and other media outlets "dangerous."
Baquet appeared on CNN's "Reliable Sources" with host Brian Stelter to respond to criticisms Trump made at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
At the rally, Trump said The New York Times was full of "incompetent, dishonest people, who after an election had to apologize because ... they covered it so badly that they felt they were forced to apologize because their predictions were so bad."
Baquet refuted the assertion on Sunday, calling Trump's claim the Times' apologized "made-up" and describing the paper's election coverage as "tough" and "aggressive."
Trump has said multiple times that the Times apologized for its election coverage, likely referring to a postelection letter to subscribers from Baquet and publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. In the letter, they wrote that the Times and other news organizations may have underestimated Trump's support with voters, but they said they believed the paper had reported on Clinton and Trump "fairly." Baquet and the Times' staff have said repeatedly that the letter was not an apology.

Medias Attacks On Trump ‘Dangerous’ And ‘Bad For The Country’
No, Dean Baquet - you and your fellow-travelers at the New York Times are dangerous. Your carefully-crafted leftist lies and propaganda are dangerous. Your earnest disregard for the truth is dangerous.
Every single time, without fail, when President Trump refers to them as “The Failing New York Times”, it makes me want to crawl on all fours over broken glass shards to defend him!
The NYT has been dangerous to the truth for decades.
The NYT is finally being called out for it.
Yes, it’s dangerous and the NYT is responsible for it being necessary.
Guess it's only the Times that has a right to an opinion of the press....
>
The arrogance of these A-holes. What is dangerous to the country is a media that has become the propaganda wind of the Democrat party but claims it is unbiased. The lies, half truths and just misrepresentation of the news is much more dangerous that Trump telling the truth about the biased media.
How is that different than the NYT and the press calling the president incompetent and dishonest?
That’s dangerous too.
LOL. . .and the media’s attacks on Donald Trump are healthy and positive? What we need is someone who can teach the media the difference between a mirror and a window. Anything to interrupt their mirror gazing.
Good! . Djt is getting to the seditious basturds!
Here’s some interesting factoids about this guy...
... The guys a member of the Board of Directors of the Committee ‘to Protect Journalists’
...He is the first black to serve as executive editor in The New York Times newsroom...... was FIRED from the Los Angels times as Editor before going to the Times. in 2007.
.....In 2016, Baquet told Daily Caller columnist Evan Gahr ...”F*ck you” ..when he asked if he did not give him credit for one of his stories the Times used as some kind of ‘reparations for slavery’.
....Banquet refused to publish the cartoons of Muhammad, in the context of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy.
...Banquet prefers to be known as “Creole”, as opposed to African-American.....but his brother stated,... “Creole in New Orleans is Black. We’re descendants of Haitians. We’re Black; Creole is NOT a race
Probably dangerous to the rats too, so I would be in favor of both.
Here is how the title should read.....
New York Times head says Marxist media attacks on Trump 'not dangerous' and 'good for the country'
