The media, everywhere, are made up of humans, who make mistakes. It must be challenged and criticized. But to say that the media is “America’s greatest enemy”? Bigger than the Nazis, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Covid-19, killer hornets, people driving slowly in the left lane? Insane! https://t.co/CwvaMJfYI6

Calling the media “America’s greatest enemy” is morally outrageous, but most importantly, absolutely absurd based on the reality of geopolitics. https://t.co/ylgisQWB0W
