    President Trump reveals winners of his ‘Fake News’ awards

    [​IMG]

    President Trump revealed the winners of his self-proclaimed ‘Fake News’ awards Wednesday night on Twitter -- with The New York Times topping the list.

    CNN also came out as a “winner,” with the left-leaning news network making the list four times.

    The list, published on GOP.com, noted that “studies have shown that over 90 percent of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative.” It went on to call 2017 “a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage and even downright fake news.”

    Coming in first place was The New York Times’ Paul Krugman for his prediction that the stock markets would never recover from Trump’s election.

    In a bit of irony, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 26,000 for the first time on Wednesday.

    The Times was followed by ABC News’ Brian Ross for his botched report that Trump advised former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to make contact with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.

    The list pointed to a false CNN report that Trump had early access to “hacked documents” from WikiLeaks, a video that suggested Trump overfed fish in a visit with the Japanese prime minister and a report that former FBI Director James Comey would deny saying Trump was told he was not under investigation.

    The Times appeared on the list again for a false report that the Trump administration hid a report on climate change.

    The final “winner” on the list, as Trump described it: “And last, but not least: 'RUSSIA COLLUSION!' Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!”

    The website carrying the results of the “Fake News Awards” crashed because it was flooded with visitors after Trump tweeted out the link.

    Without naming anyone, Trump also tweeted out his praise for the “many great reporters.”

    He continued, “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!”

    Below is the full list of winners of the 2017 Fake News Awards.

    1) The New York Times’ Paul Krugman claiming markets would ‘never’ recover from a Trump presidency

    2) ABC News' Brian Ross’ bungled report on former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn

    3) CNN falsely reporting the Trump campaign had early access to hacked documents from WikiLeaks

    4) TIME report that Trump removed a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office

    5) The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel tweeting that Trump’s December rally in Pensacola, Fla., wasn’t packed with supporters

    6) CNN’s video suggesting Trump overfed fish during a visit with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

    7) CNN’s retracted report claiming Anthony Scaramucci-Russia ties

    8) Newsweek report that Polish First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda did not shake Trump’s hand

    9) CNN report that former FBI Director James Comey would dispute President Trump’s claim he was told he was not under investigation

    10) The New York Times report that the Trump administration had hidden a climate-change study

    11) In Trump’s words, "‘RUSSIA COLLUSION!’ Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!”

    ..............More at the Link.............

    Paul freakn Krugman is the same moron, who suggested lying to the American people about an alien invasion was the best way to improve the economy.....



    Democrats love and praised this idiot....

    The New York Times’ Paul Krugman claiming markets would ‘never’ recover from a Trump presidency

    What do you think?

    Trump does more negative things, of course the media is gonna report those negative things... lol

    reporting negative things about the president is not a bad thing

    if the President wants the media to report less negative things, do less negative things mr President

    I think holding Media outlets accountable is a very important step. The media now is a political show versus good investigative reporting that shows both sides of the coin, and doesn’t parse words to fit an agenda. the rush of getting it out on the net has created very sloppy reporting and now a lot of it is partisan hack reporting.

    Man-CHILD indeed. And we the people, his "parents", really shouldn't care what fake media games Donnie plays.
    We've got grown up stuff to do, like attending jobs.
    Children can go wild with their fantasies because that's all they are; fantasies. Make-belief that should never hurt the real world.

    So let's not give little Donnie credit he doesn't deserve. If he wants to put on a fake media show with his dolls, smile and look away. He's only playing around, continuesly cirkeling his own imagination.

    Ah, to be a child again!

    But don't forget; Keep the nuclear launch-codes locked away in the top cupboard!

    Most of the stories they report aren't just negative, they're fabricated into something negative and misquoted and taken completely out of context on purpose. That's why he awarded such.

    Meanwhile, a million American citizens in Puerto Rico are entering their 100 day with no electricity and California is dealing with major disasters ... not a word from Trump. Thank god he has his priorities straight.


    WTF, Mr. President.

    What's your suggestion? Puerto Rico has $8.6 billion to fix their problems. Sanctuary state California doesn't want Trump's help and in fact want to secede, or are they begging for help now that they need it?

    Did you miss the part where specific examples were listed of completely false reporting?

    This isn't "negative" coverage based on things Trump actually did, it's negative coverage based on things they ****ing fabricated.

    Than abc, cbs, nbc, wapo, nyt, npr, prbs and even cnn and msnbc. Although those last 2 have dropped in quality.

    But at least none of those are tabloid blogs.

    Oh, and none of those have Storm Front part 2 comment sections.

    That was an op-ed by someone who doesn't work for them, and it was from 2016.

    The rest had quick retractions of corrections.

    Because "progressive" propaganda bullhorns are better than "tabloid blogs".

    Since never...
