Trump lists CNN, NY Times as fake news
Accusing them of not telling the truth, his tweet read, "FAKE NEWS media knowingly doesn't tell the truth. A great danger to our country. The failing @nytimes has become a joke. Likewise @CNN. Sad!"
Out of all American President, Donald Trump, the 45th one, has the highest disapproval rating following his month long tenure at the Oval Office.
Some of his tactics, such as the travel ban and the H-1B Visa rule, have been viewed as bizarre, earning his criticism from all corners.
Trump has also been mocked by a bunch of American celebrities on TV, with Saturday Night Live (SNL) doing it on a regular basis.
Meanwhile, CNN reported that it was blocked with some other media on Friday from attending an off-camera White House press briefing that other reporters were hand-picked to attend, raising alarm among media organizations and First Amendment watchdogs.
The decision struck veteran White House journalists as unprecedented in the modern era, and escalated tensions in the already fraught relationship between the Trump administration and the press, CNN reported.
"The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, BuzzFeed, the BBC and the Guardian were also among those excluded from the meeting, which was held in White House press secretary Sean Spicer's office. The meeting, which is known as a gaggle, was held in lieu of the daily televised Q-and-A session in the White House briefing room," the report said.
