News media not enemy of people, says Ivanka


Washington: Ivanka Trump said she did not agree the media were “the enemy of the people”, breaking with one of President Trump’s frequent attacks on the press.

At an event sponsored by Axios, the senior White House adviser said  she had been the subj­ect of reporting she kn­ows “not to be fully accurate” but said: “no, I don’t feel the media is the enemy of the people.” Trump labelled the media the “enemy of the people” and accused reporters of spreading “fake news” — his term for stories he disliked. Ivanka agreed that separation of children from parents at the border was a “low point” for the administration.
