Washington Post Editor Marty Baron says the newspaper is approaching the Donald Trump administration as it would any administration, not with open animosity.
“The way I view it is, we’re not at war with the administration, we’re at work. We’re doing our jobs,” he said at the Code Media conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Dana Point, Calif.
He said the paper would have approached a Hillary Clinton administration with the same aggressive reporting.
Hours earlier, President Trump accused the Post of being "anti-Trump" and suggested the paper joined The New York Times, TV networks, and Facebook in colluding against him. "I think he went through a process of initially condemning us," Baron said of Trump's media attacks, "and then trying to delegitimize us, and then even dehumanizing us, saying we were the lowest form of humanity, and then when that wasn't enough, saying we were the lowest form of life itself."
