Hitler was an artist. So if I paint a picture, am I a Nazi?

I don't think there's a relevant outlet that Trump didn't call fake or the enemy of the people. He specifically called CNN and the NYT the enemy of the people. CNN! Gotta-call-Ilhan-Omar-an-antisemite-traitor-to-be-impartial - CNN. Let's-invite-a-creationist-to-a-science-debate - CNN. I don't think there's an outlet that isn't owned by Rupert Murdoch that gets his approval.
Most of the time when he attacks the media, he attacks them for reporting facts. The things that you could summarize under "russiagate" are few and far between and are necessarily backed by sources. Most of the things that the Trump campaign is accused of are completely out in the open. For some reason it apparently doesn't rise to the level of criminality in the eyes of the FBI, so I'll let it go because it won't go anywhere - especially since it's very unlikely that the unredacted Mueller report will be seen by the public before the 2020 election, so that seems like a really bad horse to bet on atm.
