U.S. President Donald Trump attacked the news media and dismissed leaks from the White House as "fake news" on Sunday, following reports his son-in-law tried to set up a secret channel of communications with Moscow before Trump took office.
Shortly after Trump's remarks on Twitter, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly made the rounds of Sunday television news shows to praise any so-called back channel communications, especially with Russia, as "a good thing."
The Republican president returned to the White House after a nine-day trip to the Middle East and Europe that ended on Saturday to face more questions about alleged communications between Jared Kushner and Russia's ambassador to Washington.....

What really powers the media’s fake news scandal machine.
Fake news is profitable.
The New York Times hit piece on the Comey memo earned the paper its most concurrent readers per second. Pretty good for a piece about a piece of paper that the leftist paper had never even seen and which was, supposedly, described to it by one of Comey’s associates.
But that didn’t stop it from racking up over 6 million views.
Media fake news isn’t just an agenda. It’s enormously profitable. Hit pieces powered by anonymous sources bring in over 100,000 readers in an age when live is king. For individual reporters, finding a source, real or fake, that can back up the left’s Trump conspiracy theories can put them on the map.

O’Reilly on Reports of Strife in the WH: ‘Fake’ News, ‘Crisis Is Being Manufactured’

Thursday on his “No Spin News” podcast, Bill O’Reilly weighed in on CNN reporting that there was a crisis within the members of the White House.
According to O’Reilly, the supposed crisis is “fake” and is being “manufactured” by mainstream media to hurt President Donald Trump’s ability to govern.
Partial transcript as follows:
So in the midst of this big story, terror story, in England and the president speaking to the Pope and then going to NATO in Belgium, what do I see on CNN? White House in crisis. This is what they’re doing. This is what their lead was last night.
I mean, I’m saying to myself, am I not living in the real world anymore? White House in crisis. What crisis? What crisis?
There is an investigation going on on whether Russians were able to compromise people like General Michael Flynn, and Paul Manafort, who worked for Trump briefly in his campaign. Were they able, the Russians, to compromise those people in some way? That’s the investigation.
OK, that’s where we are right now. That’s a White House in crisis?
See this is all fake. It is fake. The crisis is being manufactured.

George Webb saying Seth Rich was declared brain dead at Howard hospital.
The more the anti-TRUMPSTERS attack, the less empathy PRESIDENT TRUMP will have draining the swamp and putting the corrupt in prison.
Suspect some of the fake news about Kushner were “leaks” made by conservatives who are not thrilled that Ivanka and Kushner have prominent roles making policy. The last straw was Ivanka chairing a meeting on the future of US participation in the “Paris accords”.
Welcome home Mr. President. The MSM loves you, can’t you tell?
.... White House in crisis. This is what they’re doing...
It’s a crisis invented in the fertile imagination of the democrats and only existing there. When this current idiocy falls off the map, there will be something else. Probably multiple allegations at once. They are piling lie upon lie.
I hope the public can see this scam for what it is.
Time for Prince Jared to start fighting back...or start running.
Feigning aloofness is NOT a defense.
Media fake news isn’t just an agenda. It’s enormously profitable.
Media knows there is an unlimited supply of suckers and idiots.
Amen FRbro!
Nobody except rhinos pay any attention to the static. Trumps favorables are where they were right after the election.
Even if there was meetings (collusion, that’s not against the law. Perjury is what the left is after. If nobody perjures themselves this is a wild goose chase.
No not at all. A large percentage of the country doesn't trust the media. Media Fake news IS an agenda.
BEN SASSE ON OBAMA MEDIA MANIPULATION
An important 21 minute mid-2016 floor speech by Senator Ben Sasse. If you listen to, you’ll better understand the “WHY” of FAKE NEWS and the decline and fall of the bulk of the media here. Bottom line? MOST of the “journalists” reporting today are not stupid. They are LIBERAL & LAZY and that alliterative ailment causes them to be dangerously IGNORANT! The difference? It takes work, but IGNORANCE can be cured. STUPIDITY is forever!
PS: Keep and eye on Sasse! He just MIGHT cause his fellows to mend their ways. But, sadly, my age and experience tell me that he’ll probably grow weary of running into the headwinds of the cyclone of corruption and self-interest and, as have others before him, say to hell with it, hit the silk and go home.
If enough of us OUT HERE lend him a hand, perhaps he’ll hang in. After all, IT’S OUR COUNTRY, TOO!

And naturally, all the experts will chime in with their "Trump needs to stay off Twitter, he needs to keep quiet, he needs to just let the media tell their side and leave them alone".
Of course if Trump DIDN'T respond to the fake news stories, the "experts" would all be saying "Trump isn't responding because he can't defend his actions, he's in trouble and doesn't have any answers to the very serious questions being raised".
Some truth but look at the fools the media parade on the news shows and the there is the college brain washed.
We still have a lot of logic training to do far to many who let others do their thinking for them.
Yes, Big Media's ratings are up a bit because they are maxing out with the brainwashed. But that max is a low ceiling as the rest of us don't trust the media.
Indeed never trust the media or a democrat their party was sold out years age.
Brennan's testimony made pretty darn clear this whole thing was manufactured by Obama officials who fell for Russian disinformation.
