The mainstream media accuses Donald Trump of lying and inflammatory rhetoric.
Yet hundreds of media outlets around the world today lied about his latest tweet.
What Trump tweeted:
There is great anger in our Country caused in part by inaccurate, and even fraudulent, reporting of the news. The Fake News Media, the true Enemy of the People, must stop the open & obvious hostility & report the news accurately & fairly. That will do much to put out the flame…

What countless media outlets claimed he’d tweeted:
US president Donald Trump has accused the media of being “the true Enemy of People”
There is in fact a significant difference between Trump call all the media the “enemy of the people” and only calling media liars the enemy. The second charge is eminently justified.
Don’t think this is an innocent reporting error. Trump has from the start made clear this distinction:
They asked my daughter Ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!
