Why does Trump so incessantly attack the media
and call it ‘fake news.” His remark from
2016 helps clarify his motivation.
“Stahl said Trump made the remark during a
meeting the two had at Trump Tower in the lead-up to her sit-down
interview with the then-president-elect and his family in November 2016.
"At one point, he started to attack the
press," Stahl told
the audience at a journalism awards event at the Harvard Club in Manhattan
on Monday evening. "There were no cameras in there."
"I said, 'You know, this is getting
tired. Why are you doing it over and over? It's boring and it's time to end that.
You know, you've won ... why do you keep hammering at this?'" Stahl went
on. "And he said: 'You know why I
do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write
negative stories about me no one will believe you.'"
This
is not a left-leaning magazine.
