As Twitchy told you yesterday, many reporters had their feathers ruffled by President Trump calling out the “fake news” media in front of a group of veterans. ABC News’ chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz was among journos who didn’t appreciate Trump’s slam on the “fake news” media:

Does the mainstream media understand why accusations of bias resonate with so many people? Donald Trump Jr. responded to Raddatz this way:
Your crying on live tv on election night probably has nothing to do with the extreme bias exhibited daily by the liberal media, but in case it did why the hell would any rational person trust the media these days? Give me a break. https://t.co/pOHPNAmJAc

CNN’s Brian Stelter came to Raddatz’s defense:
Don Jr. is perpetuating an old right-wing smear. @MarthaRaddatz's voice cracked while talking about soldiers, but she wasn't crying. Here's the video https://t.co/JbyGlb5PXw https://t.co/WdmkPOgkkQ
