UN Human Rights Chief: Trump Attacks on Press Could Be 'Incitement'

President Donald Trump's criticisms of the press earned a rebuke Wednesday from Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, the United Nations' high commissioner for human rights.

Freedom of the press is "under attack from the president," Hussein said Wednesday at a Geneva press conference, according to The Washington Post.

"To call these news organizations 'fake' does tremendous damage and to refer to individual journalists in this way, I have to ask the question: Is this not an incitement for others to attack journalists?" Hussein asked, according to The Post.

Agree with the above...UN is ticked after Trump called them out and the countries who have been light on their payments. Blah, blah, blah...irrelevant.

"Under attack from the president"? He's calling them out for what they are and what they put on the public. If it isn't truth, it's a lie or a half truth. What he wants is the truth from the media, nothing more, nothing less.
