CNN Wins Big Time In Trump’s Fake News Awards

Daily Caller  . . . "The awards to CNN included falsely reporting “that candidate Donald Trump and his son Donald J. Trump, Jr. had access to hacked documents from WikiLeaks,” along with editing “a video to make it appear President Trump defiantly overfed fish during a visit with the Japanese prime minister. Japanese prime minister actually led the way with the feeding.”

"The other two awards to CNN were for retracting a story about Anthony Scaramucci and reporting that “former FBI Director James Comey would dispute President Trump’s claim that he was told he is not under investigation." . . .

Trump’s ‘Fake News’ award winners are …  "The eagerly awaited “Trumpies” awards are in, with the New York Times heading the list.


"First place in President Trump’s touted awards went to the Times’ Paul Krugman, who “claimed on the day of President Trump’s historic, landslide victory that the economy would never recover,” according to the list of awards posted on the Republican National Committee website.
"ABC News placed second for Brian Ross’ error that caused a brief stock market crash, and CNN placed third, sixth, seventh and ninth.
"Trump announced in a tweet Wednesday night that the winners had been chosen.
“ 'And the FAKE NEWS winners are…,” Trump tweeted, along with a link to the results.
"But that link — promptly swamped by web traffic — connected users to the Republican National Committee website, which apparently had taken over award duties from the president." . . .
