Should journalists criticize each other?

     I'm asking this question because I saw a tweet from a reporter from the NFL Network criticizing CNN's Andrew Cuomo on his interview with a former colleague of his, one of Trump's spokespeople, and sadly a Tampa native Kayleigh McEnany (yes she was born and raised here like Pam Bondi who cares for Trump than state of Florida). To summarize it went as other interviews Cuomo has with other Trump people arguments about whose lying blah-blah-blah. I think we know by now how these interviews go with Trump people and non-Fox News outlets. When I saw that tweet from the NFL Reporter (not going to name that reporter because I don't want to out that person) I was shocked and replied "No Offense but I doubt you should question a fellow journalist if you have a point. I'm looking at you @FoxNews. It also got me thinking, should journalists criticize each other? I know it's been going around with Fox News criticize other networks and Sinclair Broadcast Company doing it (remember Sinclair's propaganda promo video?) and I have come hard on those companies for being Trump's earpieces instead an actual news organization. Just because you guys suck President Trump's dick doesn't make you guys real news. Though Trump has come out and attacked Fox News recently. However, saying that I don't believe the other news network should criticize Fox News either though I do agree with them. I can criticize both sides because I'm not an actual journalist, just some opinionated blogger. I wish both sides would cover the Amazon rainforest fires that as of now, still burning. It deserves as much coverage as say the trade war with China and Dorian. Also for those in the path of Dorian or effect by Hurricane Dorian, stay safe out there, and pray for the Bahamas. The Amazon Rainforest is 20 percent of the oxygen we breath. Isn't that important enough to cover? Heck, Hasan Minhaj covered the Amazon before the fires started. Also, the US isn't the only country killing the environment for profit, Brazil sided with big business to cut down on the rainforest and probably what started the fires in the first place. Do I believe that the mainstream news network gets it right all the time? NO! Do I believe the media is out to get Trump? HELL NO. If he really feels that way than he should deactivate his twitter account (both of them). That should at least cut down on the story by half. Also stop being an asshole but I can only wish for so much, also I could list other things Trump can do but that would be another post for another time plus would he listen? HELL NO. Journalists on either side need to know that there in this together. Journalist have to work long irregular hours, dealing with tragic stories most of us can look away or change to channel or whatever. Journalist have to deal with the story for hours, days, maybe months or even a year or so (depending on the story). Also there's dealing with us in the general public especially with social media and probably at least twice as much if the journalist is a female getting comments on their outfits, looks,etc. It's gotten worse since Trump took office especially since CNN got a couple of bombs threats. It bothers me that Trump attacks the media because the media is doing their jobs and not being nice just because He's Donald Trump. Also, I'm afraid he's going to get a journalist(s) killed especially after some of his followers are committed crimes in his name including mass shootings. I think journalist need to be a united front. Also, people in Trump's circle needs to work to get Trump to tone down the rhetoric otherwise something might happen and there's no going back from it.  Also I should point out it's been a little over 4 years since the murders of Allison Parker and Adam Ward, a reporter and cameraman who were killed by a disgruntled ex-coworker of their's and if you're in the GOP you don't want his to happen again otherwise the blood will be on your hands.
