After being Incited after President Donald trump's belittling of the news media, Christiane talked about all the issues regarding the rights of a reporter.
She addressed the difficulty a journalist faces, being discriminated as a puppet and even compared to a terrorist. She was quoted saying,
I learned a long, long time ago...never to equate victim and aggressor. Never to create a false moral or factual equivalence...So I believe in being truthful, not neutral. And I believe we must stop banalizing the truth. We have to be prepared to fight especially hard right now for the truth.
and added,
feel that we face an existential crisis, a threat to the very relevance and usefulness of our profession. Now, more than ever, we need to recommit to real reporting across a real nation, a real world in which journalism and democracy are in mortal peril. Including by foreign powers like Russia who pay to churn out and place these false news articles, these lies, in many of our press. They hack into democratic systems.
