President Donald Trump once again lashed out in the mainstream media.
This time it was to defend its consortium Elon Musk, the center of The New York Times, claiming that he would “break a war against China and would “bring a brief introduction to the U.S. classification plan.” In addition to denying that the report was correct, Trump declared, such as CNN, MSNBC and The New York Times were “dishonest” and failed. He made his claims in a recent Fox News interview, where he made it clear that he believed these news organizations were threats to honest journalism.
“Really, we do need honest journalism,” Trump said. “We have made such great progress over the past two months, but we just need honest journalism. We don’t.”

Trump specifically called out CNN, claiming that he would occasionally make adjustments on the Internet.
“I look at it, you have to look at these people occasionally, just to see where they are from, which is so dishonest,” he said.
He didn’t stop there. Trump slammed MSNBC, which shows that it is worse than CNN.
“I think MSNBC could be worse,” he said. “And they both did a horrible job of ratings. I think they’re going to be shut down.”
Trump further criticized and turned his attention to The New York Times, a newspaper he has long been labeled as distrust.
“If you read what’s in the New York Times, it’s a dishonest newspaper,” he said. “It’s so trash. In the past, it’s all the news that’s good for printing. Well, it’s news that’s not good for printing.”
Trump accused the paper of making stories and using unreliable sources.
“They have fake sources, or they don’t have sources,” he claimed. “I think they put most of it into practice.”
Trump wrapped his media Tirade, reaffirming his infamous position in the press.
“I call it a failure,” he said. “This is a failed newspaper. It is a failure. They shouldn’t do it. They are indeed enemies of the people.”
His latest remarks come after Trump slammed CNN and MSNBC in a similar manner at the Justice Department press conference earlier this month. The president believes that the two news outlets may be “illegal” because he claims that “96.7%” of the books they wrote about him are negative.
