Trump begins Thursday by attacking media

Before heading to Evansville Thursday afternoon, Mr. Trump sent multiple morning tweets criticizing CNN, NBC, and the media at large.

“The hatred and extreme bias of me by @CNN has clouded their thinking and made them unable to function,” Mr. Trump tweeted, adding that CNN president Jeff Zucker should be fired. In another tweet, he criticized NBC News, claiming that the network “fudged” his interview with Lester Holt last year. In that unedited interview, Mr. Trump said that he fired FBI Director James Comey because of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

“I just cannot state strongly enough how totally dishonest much of the Media is. Truth doesn’t matter to them, they only have their hatred & agenda,” Mr. Trump said in a third tweet Thursday morning. “This includes fake books, which come out about me all the time, always anonymous sources, and are pure fiction. Enemy of the People!”

The president also continued to criticize the ongoing special counsel investigation.
