President Donald Trump lashed out at The New York Times on Dec 11 over a report that said he watches a minimum of four hours of television each day. 

“Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day — Wrong!” Presidnet Trump wrote on Twitter. The tweet comes after the Times, in a report published over the weekend, cited individuals close to the president saying Trump watches anywhere from four to sometimes eight hours of TV during the day. CNN aired a segment on the report focused on Trump's television habits less than an hour before Trump's tweet. “Also, I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News. I never watch Don Lemon, who I once called the ‘dumbest man on television!’ Bad Reporting,” President Trump added.
