During a contentious press conference at the White house where he announced the extension of coronavirus emergency guidelines, President Trump tussled with hostile liberal reporters who he says, are intent on undermining his presidency.
Yamiche Alcindor, PBS liberal activist reporter and a known Trump hater began her question by accusing the President of saying that governors were requesting equipment they "don't actually need." She was referring to comments Trump made on Fox news show 'Hannity.' But in fact, Trump said in some cases, "equipment's being asked for that I don't think they'll need" by the end of the pandemic.
If you watch one of these pressers, you would notice one theme in the questions the reporters ask: long-winded 'gotcha' questions.
The President probably had enough, he interrupted the combative PBS reporter before she could finish. He said, "Why don't you people act a little more positively -- it's always trying to get-you, get-you, get you....And you know what? That's why nobody trusts the media anymore. That's why you used to work for the Times and now you work for somebody else. Let me tell you something: Be nice. Don't be threatening. Be nice."
Trump also slammed CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond. Diamond alleged that the President had said, he'd cut off communications with governors who weren't appreciative of his coronavirus efforts.
Many liberal mainstream media reporters were called out on Friday when they repeated the same false and edited version of President Trump's comments.
The President tore into the flailing CNN reporter, "your statement is a lie." He went on to explain how CNN and other liberal outlets omitted important parts of his comments in their reporting. The President also trashed the low viewership ratings of CNN.
CNN Head Jeff Zucker like many mainstream media executives, is a known far left democrat who hates the president and his supporters.
