Famed journalist Bob Woodward says he does not support CNN’s lawsuit against the White House.
His comments came during a conference in Naples, Fla., and were reported via Twitter by Dylan Byers of NBC News.
“This is a negative ... Trump is sitting around saying, ‘This is great.” ... “When we engage in (Trump’s strategy) we’re taking his bait,” he said.
“In the news media there has been an emotional reaction to Trump ... too many people for Trump or against Trump have become emotionally unhinged about this.”
And Woodward added: “The remedy (isn’t a lawsuit), it’s more serious reporting about what he’s doing.”
CNN sued the Trump administration, demanding the return of reporter Jim Acosta’s press credential for the White House.
Trump had Acosta’s press pass revoked after a contentious news conference last week.
