OPINION: Trump and Nixon are the only chief execs worthy of criticism for their attacks on the media? A professor of journalism and “communication studies” at Northwestern University must think you’re an idiot. Trump “derided” the New York Times and offered his “usual diatribes” at the recent White House Correspondents’ dinner, she says. Consider the disingenuousness: Hendershot compares Trump’s attitude towards the press to that of the Nixon administration, conveniently limiting her timeframe to the last 58 years for examples. The professor also fails to offer a single example of press animosity from the other Democratic chief execs in this timeframe — Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden.
