[Using a general to demonize the press] raises the question of whether normally apolitical figures aren’t being conscripted into Trump’s war on the press. That’s a worrying thought for institutions, like the C.I.A., that are supposed to remain above the fray to preserve public trust.

This does raise the question of whether the WH is planting disinformation with outsiders in hopes they will find it outrageous enough to propagate it. You know, dezinformatsiya.
