A White House at war with the media

President Trump once referred to the press as the “enemy of the people”, yet spends a lot of his time consuming news content and broadcasting favourable items on Twitter. So, is he getting a rough deal out of the mainstream media compared to previous administrations? Kim Hoggard was White House Assistant Press Secretary under President Ronald Reagan and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs under President George H.W. Bush. She shares her thoughts on this White House's relationship with the media, the impeachment process and the 2020 election.
