Donald Trump has used a daily White House COVID-19 news conference to launch a blistering broadside against the US media.
In a lengthy monologue the US president threw accusations against news organisations, reserving the majority of his criticism for The New York Times.
One television network described it as "the biggest meltdown from a US president" they'd ever seen.
At one point he played a video produced by White House staff which included a montage of select clips of state governors praising him for his handling of the crisis.
"You're a fake, you know you're a fake," he argued with one reporter when she asked him what the administration had done to stop the spread of COVID-19 during February. "You're disgraceful, you're so disgraceful."
Rather than using the platform to pay tribute to the hundreds of Americans who lost their lives to coronavirus over the past 24 hours, the president repeatedly listed what he'd done well.
"We've done this right, we've really done this right, the problem is the press doesn't cover it," he said.
CNN broadcast the news conference live but with accompanying graphics accusing the president of turning the briefing into "a propaganda session" and trying to "rewrite history".
Multiple news networks cutaway from the conference as it was ongoing, protesting that the president was wrongly using the session to campaign rather than update on the health crisis sweeping the US.

The Presstitutes don’t like be called out, especially in front of their own cameras.
He calls them fake, shows mountains of evidence that they are fake, and how do they respond? By reporting more fake news. You can’t change stupid.
They really don’t like having it handed back to them, don’t they? It really is arrogance on the media’s part and very little else.
If that was a meltdown, it was the most laid back meltdown I ever seen. Trump was basically whispering the whole time which made me wonder if he had a cold or hadn't slept all week. The media in this country absolutely sucks sucks sucks. It's like having a North Korean misinformation network and you have to seek the truth out on the net. Thank God for the net otherwise we'd never know the truth!
When they squeal, you know that POTUS is on target.
LMAO *shakeshead*
Perfect execution of the OODA Principle used by the military; Observe, Orient, Decide and Act. DJT paints the target and takes them out.
It was a well-deserved exposure and the reacted like a monolith revealing the Dem .Media isnt competing but working together for a political objective: “Get Trump.”
They utterly expose themselves.
Declare martial law , Mr. President Millions will support you . Stand up a national civilian volunteer militia . Ban the Democrat Party
Best president ever.
Still not tired of winning.
It wasn’t a meltdown. It was a laid back ass-kicking. I’d even say Fauci’s impromptu remarks to the press were another one, but the press still likes him enough that they didn’t realize it.
Frauds, can’t even address the substance of the facts, video of your prevarications, proves you are liars and dissemblers...
>> Rather than using the platform to pay tribute to the hundreds of Americans who lost their lives to coronavirus over the past 24 hour
FU, Alistair, you lying sack of crap.
And FU, Comcast
Sky is Comcast. That’s right — Comcast!!!
It was not a presidential meltdown.
The president administered a well deserved spanking on reporters who lie.
That’s not rewriting history. Its telling the truth to America.
And the President stayed until all questions were answered. No fading flower was he.
The DNC Media (Ministry of Liberal Truth) not only rewrite history daily, they make it up and collude with foreign communists and socialists.
“I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.”
Harry S Truman
Finally, a Rep President that does not take sh*t and fights back.
Best POTUS ever.
God Bless him.
I LOVED the Clips he showed!!! HYSTERICAL!
I guess they never heard of Harry S Truman?
