CBS Morning News Host Calls out his OWN NETWORK! "The Press Did All The Good Work Of Ruining Its Reputation On Its Own"

 Hugh Hewitt speaks to Face the Nation moderator John Dickerson about media credibility in an interview Thursday morning, the day after President Trump's press conference. Dickerson acknowledged that the media did itself in and it had nothing to do with Donald Trump.



"That one comment, they don’t trust you anymore, is a summation of where we are in America, because I really do think Manhattan-Beltway elites have lost the country. They’ve lost it. There’s just no confidence in, I’m not going to say us, because I am neither in nor of the Beltway-Manhattan media elite. I live in California still. But what do you think of that? Is it true?" Hewitt asked the FTN host.



"Well, yes," Dickerson responded. "I mean, yes, it’s true, and it’s not because of anything obviously Donald Trump did. The press did all that good work ruining its reputation on its own, and we can have a long conversation about what created that. Part of it, though, is what you mentioned about the local weather report, which is to say a lot of hysterical coverage about every little last thing that doesn’t warrant it. Having said that, it doesn’t mean, and in fact, it most explicitly does not mean that the press just throws out the standards."
