Trump Lashes Out At News Media for ‘Phony Stories’

September 21, 2019 · 10:38 pm ET · Leave a Comment

President Trump lashed out at the media for publishing “numerous phony stories.”

Tweeted Trump: “The LameStream Media had a very bad week. They pushed numerous phony stories and got caught, especially The Failing New York Times, which has lost more money over the last 10 years than any paper in history, and The Amazon Washington Post. They are The Enemy of the People!”

He added: “The Fake News Media nowadays not only doesn’t check for the accuracy of the facts, they knowingly make up the facts. They even make up sources in order to protect their partners, the Democrats. It is so wrong, but they don’t even care anymore. They have gone totally CRAZY!!!”
