Get ready for the Great American Fake News-Off!
Donald Trump claims not to watch much TV, what with him being so busy “reading documents,” but you’d never guess it by the way he obsesses over the “fake news media” on his unhinged Twitter account. Just last week, for example, he fawned over the Trump propaganda machine that is Fox News before taking direct aim at CNN, saying, “CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly.”
CNN is, of course, his favorite punching bag, but he’s also shown a great deal of disdain for The New York Times, NBC News, MSNBC, and, well, just about any outlet that doesn’t kiss his crusty, gnarled toes. So, like the cruel, bloodthirsty emperor he wishes he was, he’s called for a “contest,” one to determine which network is “the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me).” The winner, he declares, will receive the “FAKE NEWS TROPHY.”
