John Dickerson, host of CBS’s “Face the Nation,” broke with many of his colleagues when he placed the blame for the media’s abysmal reputation squarely on their own shoulders. Many in the liberal mainstream media have laughably blamed President Donald Trump for their demise, but Dickerson wasn’t having it.

The Washington Examiner reported:

“But 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,” Hewitt said. “They’ve lost it.”

Dickerson actually agreed with him.

“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,” Dickerson said.

“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,” Dickerson added.

Here’s Chuck Todd’s absurd, whiny tweet:

This not a laughing matter. I'm sorry, delegitimizing the press is unAmerican — Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) February 16, 2017

And my response:

@chucktodd I agree, it was un-American for the MSM to delegitimize themselves by being partisan hacks. — C.E. Dyer (@cedyer0) February 17, 2017

Good for Dickerson. It’s about time someone in the MSM owned up to their failures. Trump has simply shined a light on what they have done to themselves and, most importantly, to the American people.
