“He makes us the enemy. We’re not the enemy of the people. We are the people”

A CNN analyst repeated a favorite media talking point Wednesday, that a Trump supporter might go bonkers and attack a reporter on the back of the President’s ‘dangerous’ rhetoric concerning the press.
Brian Karem, who is the White House correspondent for Playboy Magazine (read into that what you will), described Trump’s constant criticism of the media as ‘worrying’.
“I’ve always been worried about the guy who’s working a county fair somewhere in Montana; it’s his first year on the job, and somebody who wants to prove their worth to the president is going to go out and harm that kid who’s freshly to the field of reporters,” Karem said.
Karem added that “error-free baseball” is an impossibility and declared that Trump holds the media to a higher standard than himself.
“He makes us the enemy. We’re not the enemy of the people,” he said. “We are the people. We are the people represented in that room … We have to be fair. We have to be fair. That’s all there is to it, but at the end of the day, that cannot mean that we do not point out the foibles of a president who by saying this, proves he’s unfit to hold office.”
Fair huh? Hmmmm.
CNN was roused, again, by a Trump tweet Wednesday that took direct aim at reporters, threatening to take away their press credentials for putting out constant negative coverage.
The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?
