President Trump: Truth doesn’t matter to media, only ‘hatred & agenda’, Calls for CNN to fire its boss

President Donald Trump in a tweet ramped up his criticism of the media, saying “truth doesn’t matter to them.” "I just cannot state strongly enough how totally dishonest much of the Media is. Truth doesn’t matter to them, they only have their hatred & agenda. This includes fake books, which come out about me all the time, always anonymous sources, and are pure fiction. Enemy of the People!" A few minutes before, President Trump attacked CNN. "The hatred and extreme bias of me by @CNN has clouded their thinking and made them unable to function. But actually, as I have always said, this has been going on for a long time. Little Jeff Z has done a terrible job, his ratings suck, & AT&T should fire him to save credibility!" CNN president Jeff Zucker is currently on six weeks' leave from CNN to recover from having heart surgery.

President Trump tweeted shortly after, "What’s going on at @CNN is happening, to different degrees, at other networks - with @NBCNews being the worst. The good news is that Andy Lack(y) is about to be fired(?) for incompetence, and much worse. When Lester Holt got caught fudging my tape on Russia, they were hurt badly!"
