Trump comes out and calls all ‘negative’ reports ‘fake’ — and wants to punish media companies for doing it

President Donald Trump proposed limiting access to media organizations that report negative news about him -- which he suggested was synonymous with "fake."


The president tweeted an angry response Wednesday morning to "Fox & Friends" reports on a conservative media watchdog analysis showing that 91 percent of TV news coverage of Trump was negative.

"The Fake News is working overtime," the president tweeted. "Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?"
