Well, I think an adversarial relationship between the media and the White House is a good thing. I don't think shouting down reporters and calling them "fake news" and labeling the media as "the enemy of the people" as being adversarial in a constructive way, and I don't think we'll see that from the Biden administration.

Well, they are the enemy of the people. That's a broad brush, but it's within the bounds of truth if we're talking about MSM/legacy outlets. They may not be your enemy, because you're aligned with what they're selling. But they're openly hostile to me, my family, my beliefs, etc. A huge swath of the country is in a cold ideological war with dominant media outlets in America. Not sure what you'd call it when they will openly describe your (previously neutral) beliefs as racist/violent/problematic or openly advocate for the loss of your rights or openly promote the government taking more from my family to redistribute to others.

And let's be honest, Trump's hostility towards the press wasn't because of any perception of them being overwhelmingly left-leaning. It was because they reported things that were not flattering to his fragile ego.
