Is it kind of weird that Trump is so obsessed with CNN in particular? He says fake news but how is it fake when Trump and his supporters get their news from places like Fox, Breitbart, Drudge Report and Infowars?
Maybe CNN had to retract one story, but if Breitbart or Infowars followed the same standards as CNN in terms of retracting stories, there would be nothing left -- just a blank page.
One theory I heard is that it might have more to do with the fact that the president of CNN Jeff Zucker is actually Trump's former boss. Zucker is the guy who put him on The Apprentice in the first place. Same thing with Joe Scarborough, who used to be friends with Trump.
Considering that Trump seems to hold personal grudges very strongly, it could be that he is sitting there in the White House watching TV furious at the fact that his former boss, who he probably thinks he made a lot of money for, would not be giving him the same kind of coverage Fox does.
- Trump has personally cited such sources as the NY post and the national enquirer so we must take his fake news tantrum with a boulder of salt.monospaced
- the fact that he would even mention the enquirer is a joke in itself. The same paper that talks about alien abductions all the time.capn_ron
- Even CNN's own producers know how fake CNN is. From "The Russian Nothing Burger" to Donna Brazile passing the questions to Hillary Clinton.********
