U.N. Official: Trump's Attacks on Press Are "Very Close to Incitement to Violence"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The outgoing United Nations human rights commissioner has criticized
President Trump's attacks on the media. Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein said
Trump's description of the media as the "enemy of the people" is "very
close to incitement to violence." Meanwhile, more than 200 newspapers in
the United States are planning to run editorials on Thursday to decry
Trump's attacks on the press.
