CNN's Alisyn Camerota accused Donald Trump of "ginning up...and making people feel violently against the press" on the 23 February 2016 edition of New Day. Camerota zeroed in on a how a Trump supporter blasted NBC's Katy Tur as a "bitch" at a recent campaign rally, and asked former Reagan adviser (and NewsBusters contributor) Jeffrey Lord, "Isn't this dangerous on some level?" When Lord underlined that "people feel that the media distorts" and "portray Trump supporters as a bunch of bigots, rubes, racists, xenophobes," the anchor shot back, "Show up when we've labeled somebody a 'xenophobe,' who's a Trump supporter."
