VIDEO: Why Fake News is the 'Enemy of the American People'

Breitbart’s Ian Hanchett reported:

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough stated that President Trump’s criticism of the media as enemies of the people is “straight out of a Mussolini playbook.”

Scarborough said, “[W]e’re talking about his lying about false attacks in Sweden, and lying about all these other things, and then talking about his outrageous statement on Friday, which I really wanted to get your opinion on, saying enemies of the people, it’s straight out of a Mussolini playbook.”

The day after President Trump made his statement about Sweden riots broke out in the Muslim enclave in Malmo. There are many areas throughout Europe controlled by Muslims which are considered dangerous no-go zones for the police. Radical Islam is spreading and the media turns a blind eye to the violence and destruction it brings because to report the truth would expose Islamists for what they are the enemies of the free world.

Publishing false information is damaging to the all of the American people. When a media source fails to report reality it falls into the trap of reporting perceptions. That is dangerous and leads to hate and the ultimate destruction of trust between the media and the people. As a prime example just look at how the media treats Israel. They treat Israel as they treat patriotic Americans, as enemies to be denigrated and despised. This fake news reporting has real world consequences, dangerous ones both for Israel and America.

So when the media fails to do its research and publishes a politically correct, biased narrative what do you call them? Answer: Enemies of the American people.

Don Irvine from Accuracy in Media (AIM) in an article titled “Flashback: Democratic Pollster Pat Caddell Called the Media the ‘Enemy of the American People’ in 2012 [Video]” writes:

President Trump escalated his battle with the liberal media on Friday when he tweeted that they were “the enemy of the American people,” but he wasn’t the first person to place that label on them.

At Accuracy in Media’s “ObamaNation—A Day of Truth” conference in September 2012, Democratic pollster Patrick Caddell ripped into the media for their bias:

“The press’s job is to stand in the ramparts and protect the liberty and freedom of all of us from a government and from organized governmental power. When they desert those ramparts and they go to serve—to decide that they will now become active participants—when they decide that their job is not simply to tell you who you may vote for, and who you may not, but, worse—and this is the danger of the last two weeks—what truth that you may know, as an American, and what truth you are not allowed to know, they have, then, made themselves a fundamental threat to the democracy, and, in my opinion, made themselves the enemy of the American people. And it is a threat to the very future of this country if…we allow this stuff to go on, and…we’ve crossed a whole new and frightening slide on the slippery slope this last two weeks, and it needs to be talked about.”
