[quote]Republican strategist Karl Rove is warning President Donald Trump to 'tone down' his attacks on the media, saying he sounds like Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin and it could cost the GOP votes in November.
'I think this is over the top,' Rove said Monday on Fox News Channel. 'Every president has problems with the media. I was in the White House for seven years - I didn't like the coverage they gave George W. Bush, particularly the liberal New York Times.'
Rove was the mastermind behind George W. Bush's election as president and served as a White House adviser. [/quote] http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6037095/Karl-Rove-warns-Trumps-anti-media-rhetoric-makes-sound-like-STALIN.html
