Mr. Ziegler, the reason "that the 'journalism profession' no longer has the respect of a large segment of the American people" is simply that they have been TOLD to disrespect any news organization, even venerable, ethical papers like the New York Times and Washington Post, if it prints a story with which certain segments of the population disagree, truth be hanged.  Instead of countering such reporting with evidence or other sound rebuttal, our president simply tweets that stories critical of him are "fake news."

Kinda childish, no?
