Black media thankfully shut out of Trump Fake News Awards

Friday, January 19, 2018

January 19, 2017 - On Wednesday, Donald Trump rolled out his long-promised 2017 Fake News Awards.

The embattled president announced the Trump Fake News Awards by tweeting a link listing the so-called winners. Unfortunately for the social-media savvy POTUS the awards stumbled right out of the starting gate when the link took visitors to a site that was down for maintenance. Eventually, the list went up on GOP.com. In the rollout, the release noted that “studies have shown that over 90 percent of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative.” The year of 2017 also got the distinction of being named “a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage and even downright fake news.” Visit www.thegrio.com for full article.
