WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th August, 2018) President Donald Trump said in a statement on Thursday that the 'fake news media' is the opposition and bad for the United States, as hundreds of newspapers across the country published editorials protesting against his attacks on the free press.
"THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA IS THE OPPOSITION PARTY. It is very bad for our Great Country.... BUT WE ARE WINNING!" Trump said in a Twitter message.
Trump's comments came as nearly 200 newspapers across the United States published a coordinated series of editorials on Thursday to condemn Trump's attacks on the media.
The Boston Globe, which led the effort, said in its editorial that the ongoing confrontations between the White House and the media reached a high point when Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to disavow Trump's claims that the media is the "enemy" of the American people.
