Associated Press Updated 3:32 p.m. UTC Aug 2, 2018 Washington – Ivanka Trump said Thursday that she does not view the news media as “the enemy of the people,” breaking with one of President Donald Trump’s frequent attacks on the press.

CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta scolded Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, calling the opinion-show host a “propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night,” and said Hannity is “injecting poison into the political bloodstream” with his diatribes against the press.
