<\/p>\n
Asked by Meet the Press<\/em> host Chuck Todd to react to Donald Trump\u2019s tweet\u00a0attacking the media as the \u201cenemy of the American people,\u201d Senator John McCain (R-AZ) warned that those kinds of attacks are the start of fascist suppression.<\/p>\n The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes<\/a>, @NBCNews<\/a>, @ABC<\/a>, @CBS<\/a>, @CNN<\/a>) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!<\/p>\n \u2014 Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Said McCain:<\/p>\n \u201cA fundamental part of that new world order was a free press. I HATE the press. I hate you, especially. But the fact is, we NEED you. We need a free press. We must have it. It\u2019s vital. If you want to preserve democracy as we know it you have\u00a0to have a free and at many times adversarial press. Without it I\u2019m afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That\u2019s how dictators get started.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post John McCain Blasts Trump\u2019s Attacks on the Media: \u2018That\u2019s How Dictators Get Started\u2019 \u2013 WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
