Veteran reporter Bob Woodward sent a message directed to President Trump late Saturday: "The media is not fake news."
"The effort today to get this best obtainable version of the truth is largely made in good faith," Woodward said during remarks at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
"Mr. President, the media is not fake news."
Woodward said during his speech that any president and his administration is "clearly entitled to the most serious reporting efforts possible."
"We need to understand, to listen, to dig — obviously our reporting needs to get both facts and tone right," he said.
"The press — especially the so-called mainstream media — comes under regular attack, particularly during presidential campaigns like this one and its aftermath."
Members of the media at times get things wrong, Woodward said.
"Like politicians and presidents, sometimes, perhaps too frequently, we make mistakes and go too far," he said.

Woodward..."any president and his administration is 'clearly entitled to the most serious reporting efforts possible.'"
Right. See "Obama Years" for proof. How can these people say this with a straight face? Are they REALLY that delusional / insane? They had their fake news noses buried so far up Obama's ass that they could see daylight through Obama's nostrils.
He right.
It’s TOTALLY fake news.
Real news. The first Clinton would have had no chance.
His statement is fake news. I think he tries to be serious but he’d have to be a moron not to see the constant propaganda that issues from CNN,MSNBC, etc. And I don’t think he’s a moron. Bernstein is another story.

Fake news ABOUT fake news! Meta-fake news!
The media has already been busted about giving President Trump 80+% negative reporting vs. 20% or less for obozo at this same time.
I’m willing to stop using the term “fake news”. Would he prefer “Democratic Party Propaganda Machine”?
Woodward, it is fake news when you are trying to influence people. Just report the damn facts.
Bwahaha...why do they have to keep on saying that, media not fake news, who are they trying to convince?
‘obviously our reporting needs to get both facts and tone right,”
Yeah, it sure is important to get that “tone” right! That’s where all of them spit on the floor while they recite Trump’s name and whatever they have their panties all twisted up about that he’s doing to try and MAGA!
Maybe we should start calling it FALSE, MADE-UP, or BS-NEWS just so people like Woodward get it straight.
Well Woody, you and your cohorts have failed miserably. You're not fooling anyone except yourselves.
Thanks for demonstrating the reason why he skipped this BS in the first place.
“State Controlled Media” also works. Except now, it has to be “Deep State Controlled Media.”
Woodward is correct
The media is a dedicated producer of propaganda
Themselves.
