As President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un exchange barbs and threats, many high-profile media types and Hollywood entertainers have framed the back-and-forth like a battle of two heavyweight fighters. But others didn’t find it appropriate to pitch up the brutal North Korean dictator as if he were a rival athlete to the American president. “This is actually a classic media tactic -- moral equivalency,” said Dan Gainor, vice president of the Media Research Center. MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brezezinski called Trump a “child” on Friday morning, after reporting on the president’s latest message to Kim. The Times “dotard” headline, sent out on the paper’s verified Twitter account, prompted comments from readers favorably comparing Kim to Trump.
