Donald Trump Goes on Twitter Rampage Against ‘Corrupt, ‘Dishonest’ Media

Donald Trump stepped up his attack on the media Aug 14 with a series of tweets accusing the press of protecting Hillary Clinton, writing false stories about him, and even bias coverage of this rallies.

“I am not only fighting Crooked Hillary, I am fighting the dishonest and corrupt media and her government protection process,” Trump wrote. “People get it!” He followed up shortly after with, “It is not ‘freedom of the press’ when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false!” Trump repeatedly called the New York Times “failing” during the series of tweets, and wasn’t shy about his opinion that the media is covering for Clinton. He sent eight anti-media tweets in a 24-hour period, typically slipping in a Clinton jab in addition to the assault on press.
