CNN's Brian Stelter accused Donald Trump of 'gaslighting the country,' and fellow host Jake Tapper took his analysis a step further, saying the president is corrupting 'truth' as an concept.
"Is it fair to say we're at the point where the president and his allied media outlets are waging a disinformation war on the public? Is it that bad?" Stelter asked.
"So much of [Trump's language] is designed, I think, just to confuse the American people, and muddy the waters and cloud what the facts are," Tapper added. Tapper offered a less hopeful view, saying journalists are frequently forced to lob softball questions at politicians from both parties in exchange for access or favor. The longtime CNN host said lawmakers are routinely given a pass to lie.
