Trump Tweets Media Is 'Part Of The Adversary System'

  • 6 years ago
President Trump on Saturday again attacked the media.

President Trump tweeted a claim on Saturday characterizing the media as adversarial. 
He posted a quote attributed to Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, stating, "I think today what has happened is that news reporting has become part of the adversary system." 
The president ended the post with the comment, "It has become tainted and corrupt! DJT" 
While it is unclear when or in what context Dershowitz may have made the comment, the president's message adds to the numerous others he has made against the media. 
"I just cannot state strongly enough how totally dishonest much of the Media is. Truth doesn't matter to them, they only have their hatred & agenda. This includes fake books, which come out about me all the time, always anonymous sources, and are pure fiction. Enemy of the People!" he tweeted on August 30. 
And in early August, he wrote: "The Fake News hates me saying that they are the Enemy of the People only because they know it's TRUE. I am providing a great service by explaining this to the American People. They purposely cause great division & distrust. They can also cause War! They are very dangerous & sick!"
