Is that the president-elects tantrum today on twitter and at his press conference against the intelligence community is aiming at the wrong target. the ic is not responsible for the document which buzzfeed leaked. that is not where it comes from. that is not to say it doesnt perhaps agree with some of its conclusions. but the president-elect was aiming at very much the wrong target today. and i think thats a very negative outcome. >> and david frum, your reaction? >> id like to direct attention ...

Aggressive. >> david: a little aggressive? >> julie: but what donald trump did was essentially conflate cnns very good reporting, which nobody is disputing, with the buzzfeed article, and that is a very different thing. what cnn reported was not fake news, and by the way i am old enough to remember and have been here, we were all outraged and rightly so when the needed done when after fox news and said we are not gonna do with them, they are the worst. and everybody went ballistic, including me,...
