Really nice story on how Trump administration attempts to manipulate press coverage and claim false reporting. It's a quick read with several examples and paints a clear picture of what is happening. Here is a short exert from article:
[As Byers suggested, there does appear to be a strategy that Team Trump executed throughout the campaign and carried into the White House: When a journalist asks for comment on what seems sure to be an unfavorable story, do not provide one. Wait for the report to be published, then attack it as unfair or inaccurate. Maybe even act as if you didn't have a chance to tell your side of the story.]
Like many have been saying all along, no one like fake news more than Trump. This is why he hired Steve Bannon and continues to repeat false claims over and over again. This article clearly points out one of their strategies for trying to discredit the media.
A free and active press has been one of the bedrocks of our democracy and it's currently under attack. This sounds crazy but I believe there is a psychological warfare being waged right before our eyes.
