[The New York Times]( [The New York Times]( Thursday, August 24, 2017 [NYTimes.com/Kristof »]( []( Doug Mills/The New York Times [We Journalists Are Not the Enemy]( If only President Trump could denounce neo-Nazis as passionately and sincerely as he castigates the news media. Trump’s latest vituperation in Phoenix portrayed reporters as enemies of the state, and [in my column]( today I offer my reply. [Read!]( I’m back in New York after some lovely family time in my home state, where I watched and wrote about[ the eclipse]( and about [backpacking on the Pacific Crest Trail](. I had hoped to be leaving for Yemen about now to report on the humanitarian crisis there, but the Saudis have blocked me — so I’m delighted that The Times news pages have an important and powerful [piece]( on Yemen, describing it as “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.” Let’s be clear that Saudi Arabia bears enormous responsibility for the malnutrition and cholera deaths taking place in Yemen. The young Saudi crown prince is in way over his head, and there are also continuing risks that his intemperate style will lead to a conflict with Iran. Some progress against sex trafficking: A California court [has allowed]( a criminal prosecution to proceed against key figures in Backpage, the website where countless children have been sold for sex. The case by the California attorney general accuses the defendants of turning Backpage into an online sex trafficking hub. Don’t tell anybody, but I have a low-brow strain of literary tastes: thrillers and the like. So I’m pleased to report that Michael Connelly’s latest detective thriller, “[The Late Show]( is excellent. It stars a new character, police detective Renee Ballard, who is dogged, smart and lives out of her car with her dog, making her an intriguing protagonist. And now [my column]( about President Trump and his war on the news media, and why this is a time when it’s more important than ever to have robust institutions that constrain a rogue president.
