There is a school of thought which suggests that one ought to ignore President Trump's tweets because they are a distraction from the big things going on behind the scenes.
Yet Trump is the leader of the free world (well, free for now at least). So when the President tweets it carries a certain weight.
On Friday, Trump offered, "The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is an enemy of the American People! @NB."
If Trump thinks the MSM is an enemy of the American people then what does that make ISIS?
Criticize the MSM all you want, but it has never killed anyone.
Besides how does one become an enemy of the American people by criticizing Trump?
If so how ought to deal with our "enemies?" Does this involve incarceration? Shutting down newspapers and TV stations?
Trump's tweets often provoke more questions than answers. In that spirit, the media should continue to ask Trump questions especially if he doesn't like what he hears.
