Two very different takes on meeting with NYT publisher. Lol. Easy when your audience doesn’t care about truth but what about rest of audience?
“Trump also claimed that he met with New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger. Trump said the two chatted about "the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media."
"Had a very good and interesting meeting at the White House with A.G. Sulzberger, Publisher of the New York Times," Trump wrote on Twitter. "Spent much time talking about the vast amounts of Fake News being put out by the media & how that Fake News has morphed into phrase, “Enemy of the People.” Sad!"
The president did not specify when or where the meeting took place, but Sulzberger subsequently responded: “I told the president directly that I thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous.”
Sulzberger added: I told him that although the phrase ‘fake news‘ is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labeling journalists ‘the enemy of the people.‘
I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.“
