The Magnificent Seven
President Trump proposed starting a news network to counter one of his favorite media targets, Politico reports.
Said Trump: “CNN is a voice that seems to be the voice out there. It’s a terrible thing for our country. We ought to start our own network and put some real news out there, because they are so bad for our country.”
He added: “We’re looking at that. We should do something about it, too. Put some really talented people and get a real voice out there, not a voice that’s fake.”
