[Daily Caller] CNN "New Day" host Chris Cuomo said Wednesday President Donald Trump is at war with the media and out to make reporters "an enemy of the state."
"At the end of the day we have been here before my brothers," said Cuomo.
"This is a de facto declaration of making the media an enemy of the state, that is what this effort winds up amounting to," he said. "It’s not just Cillizza, it’s not just Cuomo, it’s not just one story. It’s all of them all the time, they’re all fake. Don’t trust them, [reporters] only trust us [The White House]."
CNN politics reporter Chris Cillizza said Trump is fixated on the media because it’s what helped him rise to power.
"Almost every morning particularly yesterday and this morning it’s about the media," said Cillizza."It’s about the fake news media. That’s what he cares about that. That’s what animates him. That’s is at the fundamental core of why the guy ran for president."
He added reporters have to adapt and change their style of covering the White House, but fellow panelist and executive editor of The Sentinel Newspapers, Brian Karem, disagreed.
