TIL Desk/World/Washington/ US President Donald Trump has declared ‘The New York Times’ as the winner of the ‘Fake News Award’.Others in Trump’s unique award were ‘ABC News’, ‘CNN’, ‘Time’ and ‘The Washington Post’. Trump announced the award by a tweet yesterday.
The website GOP.Com — where the winners were listed — crashed soon after Trump announced his Fake News Awards. “2017 was a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage, and even downright fake news. Studies have shown that over 90 per cent of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative,” it said.
In a subsequent tweet, Trump said despite some “very corrupt and dishonest” media coverage, there are many great reporters he respects. “And lots of GOOD NEWS for the American people to be proud of!” he said.
Topping the list was The New York Times’ Paul Krugman story which claimed on the day of Trump’s historic, landslide victory that the economy would never recover. ABC News’ Brian Ross was positioned second. It “CHOKES and sends markets in a downward spiral with false report,” the website said.
