EXTRA: CNN, New York Times ‘shine’ at Trump’s fake news awards
The world stood still as Donald Trump’s “highly anticipated” fake news awards held Wednesday.
The US President took to his playground — Twitter — to announce that the winners’ list can be found on the website of his political party.
Yes, the Republican party’s main website!
Trump, who has reportedly made over two thousand ‘fake’ claims since assuming office, said the awards is to honour “the most corrupt & biased of the mainstream media”.
As expected, CNN and New York Times, media organisations which the US president can’t stand, emerged top on the list.
Of the 11 ‘fake news reports’ listed, CNN won four, New York Times clinched two, while TIME magazine, ABC News, Newsweek and Washington Post won an award each.
The US president also took time out of his busy schedule to praise the losers at the fake news awards
Despite some very corrupt and dishonest media coverage, there are many great reporters I respect and lots of GOOD NEWS for the American people to be proud of!
