Trump blasts back after Times publisher decries 'enemy of the people' attacks

纽约时报发行人谴责特朗普将媒体批为“人民的敌人”，特朗普作出反击

Hours after saying he had a “very good meeting” with the publisher of the New York Times about his labelling the press the “enemy of the people”, Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on “anti-Trump haters in the dying newspaper industry”.

特朗普声称自己与纽约时报的发行人进行了一次“很好的会面”，讨论了自己将媒体称为“人民的敌人”的行为。然而几个小时之后，特朗普发起了猛烈的攻击，矛头直指那些“垂死的报纸行业中反对特朗普的仇恨者们”。

“The failing New York Times and the Amazon Washington Post do nothing but write bad stories even on very positive achievements,” Trump tweeted. “And they will never change!” Earlier, the White House confirmed Trump met Times’ publisher AG Sulzberger on 20 July. Sulzberger then issued a statement that opened an exchange over whose activities were more damaging to America.

特朗普发推称：“失败的纽约时报以及受亚马逊控制的华盛顿邮报，除了撰写负面新闻外什么都不做，就连一些积极的成就也能被写成负面新闻。并且他们永远不会改变！”早些时候，白宫方面确认，特朗普已于 7 月 20 日会见了纽约时报的发行人 A·G·苏兹伯格。苏兹伯格随后发表了一篇声明，由此开始了“特朗普与新闻界，究竟哪一方的行为给美国带来更多损害”的争论。

Sulzberger said he had raised “concerns about the president’s deeply troubling anti-press rhetoric” and “implored him to reconsider his broader attacks on journalism, which I believe are dangerous and harmful to our country”.

苏兹伯格称他表达了“对总统令人深感不安的反媒体言辞的担忧”，并“请求他重新审视他对新闻界的广泛攻击，这一攻击在我看来对国家是危险而有害的。”

He did not say how the president responded. Hours later, Trump obliged. In a multi-tweet rant, he claimed reports on “internal deliberations of our government … truly put the lives of many, not just journalists, at risk”. Claiming without evidence that “90% of media coverage of my administration is negative”, Trump said he would “not allow our great country to be sold out by anti-Trump haters in the dying newspaper industry”.

他没有陈述总统在会谈中如何回应。不过几个小时后，特朗普帮他补充了这一缺失的信息。在连续多条推特的痛斥中，他声称那些关于“政府内部协商”的报道，“不仅仅是在拿记者们的生命冒险，更是真正地将许多人的生命置于危险之中。”在没有给出任何事实依据的情况下，他声称：“关于我的政府的媒体报道中，90%是负面新闻”。特朗普说，他“不会允许我们的伟大国家被垂死的报纸行业中那些反对特朗普的仇恨者们出卖”。

Sulzberger, 37, took over from his father on 1 January. In his statement, he said: “I told the president directly that I thought that his language was not just divisive but increasingly dangerous. I told him that although the phrase ‘fake news’ is untrue and harmful, I am far more concerned about his labelling journalists ‘the enemy of the people’.”

37 岁的苏兹伯格今年一月一日接替其父亲就任纽约时报发行人。在他的声明中，他表示：“我直截了当地告诉总统，我认为他的言论不仅是在引起敌意，而且愈发地危险。我告诉他，尽管‘假新闻’这一说法不实且有害，但是我更担心的是他给记者们冠上的‘人民的敌人’这样的标签。”
