During Donald Trump’s first press conference since being elected the 45th President of the United States, BuzzFeed and CNN took serious blows from the president-elect and incoming press secretary. Trump called BuzzFeed a “failing pile of garbage” and that the outlet would “suffer the consequences.”
CNN’s Jim Acosta, who was in attendance, was ignored — even as Trump railed on the news organization, calling its stories "fake news."
Trump was totally right in chastising CNN for a total fake news story that even the New York Trump hating Times wouldnt consider.
I get it. It's only officially recognized as "fake news" if it's negative towards Trump. That certainly simplifies things.
