CNN's Dana Bash: I Wish Donald Trump Would Stop Attacking The Media

CNN's Dana Bash on Donald Trump's treatment of the media on Thursday's broadcast of Anderson Cooper 360:





DANA BASH, CNN CHIEF POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: This is just a reminder that this is like nothing we've ever seen before. I mean, we knew that by the end of the campaign. But the question is what kind of president would Donald Trump be? And wow! I mean, it's almost hard to wrap your mind around.



I really knew that there were lots of, you know, divisive comments especially and I'm fortunately about the press which is I wish he would just stop doing and not only because we are members of the press, but because as leader of the free world, you do set an example for free press in countries around the world. And so, that was -- I just -- you know, he can't help himself there and I just wish he would figure out a way to stop doing that.



But there was a line and I'm just point it up here, that he made that people have been asking him to make about unity and coming together. He said, we denounce all of the hatred and we forcefully reject the language of exclusion and separation and we come together. Now, I've been asking his people, you know, look there a lot of voters who didn't support Donald Trump, who are really fearful. Why not give a unity speech. Well that wasn't a unity speech but that little portion of that campaign speech is more than he's ever done.
