!”After President Donald Trump spent much of his Thursday press conference lecturing and demeaning reporters , Fox News anchor Shepard Smith defended the role of the media, reminding Trump that “you owe this to the American people” to answer reporters’ questions. Smith implored the president to actually answer questions from reporters rather than openly undermine the media. No, sir, we’re not fools for asking the questions, and we demand to know the answer to this question. You call us fake news and put us down like children for asking these questions on behalf of the American people,” Smith said. Trump opened Thursday’s press conference by delivering a long diatribe against the “out of control” press.
