I had not seen this until I saw the link in this thread. I have to quote part of it. Excellent, excellent interview.
"In an interview on 'Fox News Sunday,' Wallace asked Priebus if Trump believes that 'a free and independent press is a threat to the country.'
Priebus attempted to soften Trump's claim, saying the president was referring to reports that members of Trump's presidential campaign communicated with Russian intelligence officials during the campaign.
'There are certain things that are happening in the news that just aren't honest. We're not talking about everyone, Chris. We're not talking about all news. We are talking about something he's termed as fake news,' Priebus said.
When the chief of staff dismissed the recent reports about Trump's potential ties to Russia as 'total garbage,' Wallace said the president's rhetoric did not have the nuance Priebus was articulating.
'Reince, here's the problem. I don't have any problem with you complaining about an individual story. We sometimes get it wrong, you guys sometimes get it wrong. I don't have any problem with you complaining about bias,' Wallace said.
"But the president went a lot further than that. He said that the 'fake media,' not certain stories, the 'fake media,' are an enemy to the country. We don't have a state-run media in this country. That's what they have in dictatorships," Wallace continued.
Priebus argued that 'other cable stations, not necessarily Fox,' only briefly covered events like Trump's meetings with foreign leaders and announcement of the president's Supreme Court nominee, saying outlets instead focused on ties between Russia and the Trump campaign 'all day long, on every chyron, every seven minutes.'
'As soon as it was over, the next 20 hours is all about Russian spies, how no one gets along, how nothing's happening. Give me a break,' Priebus said.
'You don't get to tell us what to do, Reince. You don't get to tell us what to do any more than Barack Obama did. Barack Obama whined about Fox News all the time, but I've got to say, he never said we were an enemy of the people,' Wallace replied.
After Priebus said he was 'surprised' Wallace would forget 'all the shots' that Obama took at Fox News, the anchor interjected.
'He took the shots, and we didn't like them, and frankly, we don't like this either. But he never went as far as President Trump has. And that's what's concerning. Because it seems like he crosses a line when he says that we're the enemy of the people,' Wallace said."

The sections you put in bold were my favorite parts too, Deb.
My hope is that with Republicans beginning to get on board, the message will start to sink in - maybe Trump supporters will eventually begin to see that this is not a bipartisan issue. It's an issue of an incompetent president.
ETA - I realize that Wallace may not be considered a "Republican"; he seems a bit hard to pin down, although I suppose I personally consider him more right leaning,

Outrage? That is a damn funny t-shirt. Get a sense of humor. BTW religion is not a topic to be discussed on PS precisely because of those memes. Journalists are right there at the bottom with lawyers as far as jokes go.

I'm sorry, Redwood. That's funny? A t-shirt that appears to advocate lynching journalists? For real? That's actually making me feel sick.
