NPR’s Steve Inskeep continued his media tour on Monday promoting his fawning sit-down interview with President by appearing with CNN Tonight host Don Lemon and, when asked about the President attacking the media for supposedly overhyping threats posed by ISIS, Inskeep stood up for the President by suggesting that it was “not a very outlandish idea that he's putting out there.”

After Lemon and Inskeep discussed various comments the President made concerning race, they turned to terrorism and the media as Lemon introduced a clip of the President: “Let's talk about security now and about foreign policy. You also asked the President about his ISIS strategy and he says it's important for Americans to, quote, “keep things in perspective.” He also took a swipe at us, the news media.”
