Tammy Bruce: ‘Certain Segment of Journalists See Themselves as Our ‘Moral Arbiters’

‘And when you believe that, it means you’re looking down on everyone else’

EXCERPT:

KILMEADE: "Tammy, your reaction to Dan Rather? He has been at this a while."
BRUCE: "Yeah, he has. And he’s actually the perfect person to say this because it reminds us how fake news started. It was with those documents with President Bush that were falsified. This is where the phrase 'fake but true' came up. And here's the issue, and you saw it in that tweet, is that 'The country depends on you.' They actually see themselves, I believe, a certain segment of journalists, as being the moral arbiters of the country. And when you believe that, it means you’re looking down on everyone else. And that then becomes an issue of where you don’t trust the people, where they’re not the ones you’re even reporting to, and that your point of view is the one that matters."
