"SNIP......

At the White House press briefing on coronavirus on Wednesday, President Donald Trump spent several moments attacking the media for its coverage of his leadership, blasting “bad reporting” and saying the media wouldn’t be satisfied if he tested every American ten times.

ABC News’ Jon Karl, president of the White House Correspondent’s Association, couldn’t stay silent at that. “That’s not true!” he blurted out.

Trump retorted that Karl is “one of the leaders of the bad reporting.”

you are. I've been saying that from the beginning. Too bad the media won't work with the truth-Trump needs the media more than the media needs him!

Trump said he could test 10 times and the media would not be happy, wanting to know why he didn't test for an 11th time. That's when Karl kept saying "That's not true, that's not true". Just wanted to clarify.

trump's obvious mental illness has made them useless. All the networks and all the reporters need to bring things to an end. Immediately. There has to be a better way to disseminate news about a world-wide plague.

He is a bully and a child who thinks this makes him tough.
