Byron York: CNN Would Be Better Off Just Reporting Everything Straight and Letting Trump Say What He Wants

‘He picks out outlets for specific criticism, he does that a lot with CNN and he just goes and on about fake news and they seem to take the bait from that a lot’

EXCERPT:

YORK: "And certainly in the first months of his administration he was just wildly accessible to people in the press. So, on the one hand, I think a lot of White House reporters and others in the press would have to say, you know, in terms of accessibility he has been more accessible than Barack Obama was at many times in the Obama White House years. On the other hand, there is this running war with the press. He picks out outlets for specific criticism. He does that a lot with CNN and he just goes on and on about fake news and they seem to take the bait from that a lot and get into arguments with the president when, in fact, they would probably be better off just reporting everything straight and letting the President say what he wants."
