Trump has frequently referred to journalists as "enemies of the people" and accused outlets of promoting "fake news" for publishing articles that cast him in an unflattering light.

“From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll. Whoever their Pollster is, they suck. But @FoxNews is also much different than it used to be in the good old days,” Trump tweeted earlier this month.

"I think it's part of the deal, as you guys know. Listen, we're trying to call balls and strikes. If we can do that every day — be fair to him but also cover the news fairly to all sides — that's what I'm trying to do," Baier said, adding that the network takes the broadsides "in stride."
