Should the Media be described as enemy of the people?

Source: Standard Examiner- Its faded into the background noise by now as does anything in politics today thats older than about 12 hours. But its worth occasionally remembering that the sitting president of the United States disparaged the media as the enemy of the American people" within his first month in office. The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes @NBCNews @ABC @CBS @CNN) is not my enemy it is the enemy of the American People!" President Donald Trump posted via Twitter on Feb. 17. 2017. There was a lot going on in that moment more than we even realized at the time. (Three days before this for example Trump allegedly suggested to then-FBI director James Comey that he drop the agencys investigation into just-fired national security adviser Michael Flynn.) So in short order the comment was added to the lengthy column of Things Trump did that most other presidents would never do" and most of us moved on. But Trumps targeting of the media didnt fade - and neither did the sentiment in that tweet. Last month Quinnipiac Universitys pollsters asked Americans if they agreed with the sentiment Trump expressed in that tweet. Were certain news outlets - unnamed by Quinnipiac - enemies of the American people? Nearly 4-in-10 said yes - including more than 8-in-10 Republicans.
