Joy Behar: By Declaring War on Media, Trump Is ‘Inoculating Himself’ Against Russia Bombshells (Mediaite)

Donald Trump‘s war on the press is no big secret. His administration barred CNN, The New York Times, and other leading publications from a press gaggle on Friday, then he announced that he won’t be attending the White House Correspondents Dinner at all.

Today on The View, the ladies took on the subject of his beef with the media.

“What they don’t acknowledge is Trump’s role in all of this,” Jedediah Bila said of those who agree with Trump that the media is too hard on him. “Russia is not a small story. Trump feeds into this by doing and saying ridiculous things. He’s tweeting at people. He’s saying things about foreign countries that could potentially cause problems for us in the future. So it’s one thing to have a general conversation about media bias. That’s fair; we can do that. It’s another thing to say the media is here criminalizing Trump when he’s played a role in a lot of those things.”
