Trump launches attack on news media again ⁰

US President Donald Trump has suggested that a contest should be held to determine which news network covers him in the most “dishonest” and “corrupt” way, as he has again labelled many of the outlets “fake news.”

“We should have a contest as to which of the Networks, plus CNN and not including Fox, is the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me). They are all bad. Winner to receive the FAKE NEWS TROPHY!” Trump tweeted on Monday.

Trump’s comments were his latest attack against the news media for the coverage he receives. During a speech in Phoenix, Arizona, in August, he called journalists “truly dishonest” and “sick people.”

The president also took repeated jabs at the media on Twitter over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend at his golf courses in Florida.

Trump has repeatedly used the term “fake news” to cast doubt on critical media reports about his administration, often without providing any evidence to support his case that the reports are false.

As a candidate, Trump had pursued the same anti-media rhetoric threatening to “open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money.”
