President Donald Trump challenged skeptical media coverage of his historic summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-un, declaring that "Fake News" is the nation's "biggest enemy."
Trump has bristled against questions over his decision to meet with Kim, whose country is estimated to have 80,000 to 120,000 political prisoners. The president has dubbed his detractors "haters & losers."
"It's a mistake to see attacks on the media as separate from those things," said Jay Rosen, a New York University journalism professor. "It's the erosion of the common world of fact. If we can't agree on what the facts are, if there are no facts because they are in endless dispute, there is no accountability."
