He doesn't allow the reporter to finish asking any questions. This shows that he doesn't want to hear peoples opinions that go against anything he has to say, limiting their freedom of speech and press. Throughout the rest of the conference Trump seems to call out the sham news CNN and Buzzfeed reports about him. In a recent Buzzfeed report, writers show connections between Trump and Russia. The claims against him relate to the belief that Russia has compromising finical and personal information about President Trump. This is an example of Trump speaking on the "fake news" epidemic that has taken over modern day media. ]]> 2019-02-22 13:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334119335 julia_huber https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334123300 The media needs to "clean up their act"]]> 2019-02-22 13:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334123300 julia_huber https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334124722 Reporters covering him have gone "mad"]]> 2019-02-22 13:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334124722 julia_huber https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334126252 Calling out NBC and MSNBC]]> 2019-02-22 14:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334126252 julia_huber https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334132383 The Post is for the Democrats and against "your all time favorite president"]]> 2019-02-22 14:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334132383 julia_huber https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334140991 The president is often portrayed on a comedy live show on NBC, called Saturday Night Live. Trump commented on the recent episode cracking jokes on his choice of declaring a national emergency. He says it is all "fake news" and states that the network is getting away with total hits on the Republican party. This comment is just 1 of many Trump has made against NBC. In the past he has pushed to challenge their broadcasting licenses and frequently refers to them as equivalent to "fake news CNN".]]> 2019-02-22 14:29:29 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334140991 julia_huber https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334145577 Trump constantly attacks popular news outlets with accusations of reporting "fake news". He states that he is the only place the public can receive real news. Using his position of power and influence to control what the public sees and hears isn't only the move of a dictator, but also a move of a man with something to hide.]]> 2019-02-22 14:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334145577 julia_huber https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334152038  His challenges to revoking broadcasting licenses threatens the first amendment, freedom of speech and freedom of press.

His comeback circled around the fact that Trump has cited the words of their fact-checking system in the past. Trump has now begun calling The Post a "fake news" outlet and praising the people who are also against them. This shows that when Trump's credibility is tested, he will lash out on social media to challenge the credibility of news reporters.]]> 2019-02-22 15:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334161285 julia_huber https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334326625 Donald Trump uses his @realDonaldTrump twitter account to reach the attention of the younger generations. Using this social media outlet, that is dominated by millennial's, shows that Trump wants to influence those who aren't as caught up with current events. Many people use these outlets as a source of news, and Trump takes advantage of that to push his own agenda and deface other sources to receive current news.]]> 2019-02-22 20:17:56 UTC https://padlet.com/julia_huber/7i10vtde81k3/wish/334326625
