US President Donald Trump,
Wednesday night announced the winners of his highly anticipated ‘Fake News
Awards’ with CNN and New York Times emerging top on the list.
He described them as most
dishonest and corrupt.
Trump crashed the Republican
Party’s website on which he posted the list of the award winners moments after
he tweeted the link announcing the winners, due to the high volume of traffic.
Trump had on January 2, said: “I
will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on
Monday at 5 p.m. Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories
from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!”
However, on January 7, he said:
“The Fake News Awards, those going to the most corrupt & biased of the
Mainstream Media, will be presented to the losers on Wednesday, Jan. 17, rather
than this coming Monday. The interest in, and importance of, these awards is
far greater than anyone could have anticipated!”
Out of the 11 ‘fake news reports’
listed on the award, CNN won four, New York Times clinched two, while TIME
magazine, ABC News, Newsweek and Washington Post won an award each.
The full list of the website
read: “The New York Times’ Paul Krugman claimed on the day of President Trump’s
historic, landslide victory that the economy would never recover”.
“ABC News’ Brian Ross CHOKES and
sends markets in a downward spiral with false report”.
“CNN FALSELY reported that
candidate Donald Trump and his son Donald J. Trump, Jr. had access to hacked
documents from WikiLeaks.
“TIME FALSELY reported that
President Trump removed a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office.
“Washington Post FALSELY reported
the President’s massive sold-out rally in Pensacola, Florida was empty.
Dishonest reporter showed picture of empty arena HOURS before crowd started
pouring in.
“CNN FALSELY edited 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.
“CNN FALSELY reported about
Anthony Scaramucci’s meeting with a Russian, but retracted it due to a
‘significant breakdown in process’.

COLLUSION!” Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the
American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!”
The post also went on to list 10
Trump administration’s major successes, adding “while the media spent 90 per
cent of the time focused on negative coverage or fake news, the President has
been getting results”.
