President Donald Trump isn’t targeting all journalists in his relentless attacks on the media — just those “who aren’t always telling the truth,” presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday.
In an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” Conway said Trump wants reporters to give Americans “news they can use.”
"I believe the president's entire point is this we do have a news media to includes some reporters, so this should not be a broad a brush,” she said when asked about Trump’s latest tweet repeating his oft-stated claim that “fake news” is “the enemy of the people” — and it “can also cause war.”
“I know he believes it's not all,” she said. “That's why he said refers to those who aren't always telling the truth."
"The president wants people to give information, news they can use,” she said, adding: “There’s a growing swarth of reporters most of who I feel like I have a decent relationship with, that are sitting in the press briefing room who have contracts on cable TV where they say things on Twitter they would not get away with in print.”
“I said some journalists are enemy of the news you can use,” she asserted.
