So what does a government do when it sees a threat to its citizens? Why it eliminates the threat.

Yes? So if the media is the enemy of the people what must our government do to defend us from this great evil?

Should the government tell the enemy media to behave?
Should the government just ignore the enemy of the people? After all they aren't killing anyone.
Should the government force the media to stop being an enemy of the people? How?

Perhaps take them to court? No? Reporters don't fear no stinking courts.
How about close down their offices? Take away their typewriters?
Maybe round a few up and 'disappear' them ?
Burn down their buildings?

I think I know what tRump wants to do.
Take them all (except for that sterling example of newsyness Fox News) and execute one.
Make an example by gunning a several on the capital steps. Make it required viewing.
How about say 10 or 15 of them in front of the whitehouse stacked like cordwood. A little kerosene and a match? We will see just how many enemies of the people there are after that little display.

This is how tyranny starts. Always kill the reporters first (not the lawyers) then you can get on with the business of terrorizing the rest of the nation. Except yer good buddies of course, maybe like Bannon or rancid penis, er um I mean Rince prebuilt, oh whatever, spell check is a hard master.
