Trump moves beyond calling the media Fake News and calls them Corrupt News.

Rion

Andrea Widburg   "Chanel Rion, who is half Korean, is the White House Correspondent for One America Network (aka OAN), an openly conservative news station. On Thursday, during President Trump’s now daily press briefing, she asked him why it was appropriate to use the phrase “Chinese Virus” when referring to the coronavirus.
"President Trump seized the opportunity to say that this was an accurate term and that the Fake News media were parroting Chinese propaganda when they accused him of being racist. The mainstream media responded by doing everything short of falling on the fainting couch with smelling salts at the horror of it all – and then by demonstrating that they are, in fact, repeating the Chinese party line.
"Rion’s question didn’t pull punches about her pro-American, anti-Chinese-communism bias. She first asked Trump whether the phrase “Chinese food” was racist. Trump, after noting that he liked OAN, agreed that the phrase wasn’t racist at all.

"Then, Rion got to the heart of the matter:

On that note, major left-wing news media — even in this room — have teamed up with Chinese Communist Party narratives and they’re claiming you’re racist for making these claims about ‘Chinese virus.’ Is it alarming that major media players, just to oppose you, are consistently siding with foreign state propaganda, Islamic radicals and Latin gangs and cartels? And they work right here at the White House with direct access to you and your team?

"Given an opening, Trump took it:" . . .

After inserting a knife into CNN, Ms. Widberg twists it with this: 

In a time of crisis, CNN turns to a real expert in crisis management: Sean Penn

. . . "These things, though, don’t interest CNN. Filling airtime and attacking Trump are its bottom line goals. No wonder Sean Penn is now one of its go-to experts. The mainstream media are corrupt, and they are disgusting."
