For most of Donald Trump’s presidency he has lashed out at what he calls “fake news.”<\/em> His assaults on the press have been unprecedented in their hostility and absurdity. The result has been an environment that puts reporters at risk of physical attacks by unhinged Republicans and their supporters. That risk was made manifest last week when the GOP congressman from Montana, Greg Gianforte, body-slammed a reporter<\/a><\/strong> who was just doing his job.<\/p>\n

Of course, Trump’s definition of the fake news is entirely self-serving. In short it is any news that he doesn’t like. But setting that aside, Trump can’t even keep straight what forms the basis of his objections. Take for instance his Twitter disgorge Sunday morning. After a relatively quiet week while the President was busy embarrassing America overseas, Trump has resumed his pathetic Twimpering:<\/p>\n

It is my opinion that many of the leaks coming out of the White House are fabricated lies made up by the #FakeNews<\/a> media.<\/p>\n
