Well well well. Would you look at that? This doesn’t sound like much a difference after all.
President Trump has been under fire for blasting MSM and describing them as the “fake, fake disgusting news” and “enemy of the people.”
"'The president was 15 minutes late for the Queen' – wrong!"

MSM got in a bit of a tizzy after Ivanka took a softer approach on the issue. According to Axios, she doesn’t view the press as the “enemy of the people.”
Ivanka Trump said at an Axios event on Thursday that she doesn’t view the media as the “enemy of the people,” breaking with President Trump’s repeated public statements.
Why it matters: Ivanka noted that she herself has been the subject of stories she knows to be false, but that she doesn’t believe the media is the enemy.
That really didn’t surprise me. Ivanka is more careful with her words. She’s not her father or brothers, and we’ve known that. She’s not going to blast out dozens of tweets with the hashtag #FakeNews.
Of course, MSM was all, “HAHA WOW! Trump’s OWN DAUGHTER disagrees with him,” as if that would be problematic. People disagree sometimes. Who cares.
Well, Trump addressed that directly on Twitter Friday morning sucked the wind out of their sails.
They asked my daughter Ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!

Exactly! I thought that was a given. He’s not calling the FREE PRESS the “enemy.” He’s not questioning the importance of a free press. He’s talking about biased FAKE NEWS. We’re mad at them for withholding the truth. We’re mad at them for DISTORTING and LYING to our faces. Get it straight.
