Why would CBS News allow a fascist minion come on their network and tell them they are fake?

The problem with the media isn't that they are fake, but that they are weak!

They should shut down anyone who questions the legitimacy of the media.

The interview was recorded today.

Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, advised Americans to take President Trump’s attacks on the media “seriously,” following the president’s denunciations of the press as the “enemy.”

“There’s been a debate about when to take the president seriously,” CBS’ John Dickerson said in a “Face the Nation” interview with Priebus Saturday. “He recently tweeted that the press was the enemy of the American people. Should we take that seriously from him?”

“Well, I think you should take it seriously,” Priebus replied. “I think that the problem we’ve got is that we’re talking about bogus stories like the one in the New York Times, that we’ve had constant contact with Russian officials. The next day, the Wall Street Journal had a story that the intel community was not giving the president a full intelligence briefing. Both stories grossly inaccurate, overstated, overblown, and it’s total garbage.”

I figure they might as well for as long as they can because eventually the money will stop.

Now this same media is fake? The same media that made Trump a legitimate candidate? Something doesn't add up.
