Fake News
One of the things that PDJT has not been bashful about since he started running for the presidency is calling the MSM out for running fake news stories. The left-wing news outlets (that’s most of them) will jump at any opportunity to run a fake story to put PDJT and his administration in a bad light.
The MSM ran stories for two years about Russian collusion without a scintilla of evidence to back them up. They hired former Obama administration people to go on air and claim to have access to classified information proving this. All of this was lies.
When the Special Counsel investigation ended, at least one outlet held a meeting with its editorial staff congratulating them on their efforts and directing them to switch gears to show the public just how racist the President was. Again, no evidence was needed.
