CNN has mostly destroyed its reputations as its engaged in fake news...and has spent nearly a week on a meme and acting like a crybaby.

I do agree media should blast Trump but it should do like NYT and others and not sink to the same level as Trump.

So what is Fox News engaged in? 24/7 dihearrea? I never heard any peep from anyone that they were overblowing Hilary's emails.

It is actually fairly dangerous that a president is injecting himself into a free democratic press, because basically really what "fake news" means coming from Trump is essentially "any news I don't like". Which is extremely dangerous to any democracy when the elected officials start censoring any view points they don't like. 

Which is really IMO what this is all about. Trump wants a "phony war" with the media to allow for only coverage that is favorable to him. 

My point is Trump blasts the media with 'fake news' and when CNN engages in it , people go well 'trump is right'

Not everyone does but when you have more and more people think the media is all fake and useless, that is a danger to democracy.
