President Trump on Wednesday suggested taking away the “credentials” of news outlets, claiming the “Fake News is working overtime” by citing a poll that shows broadcast news coverage of his administration is 91 percent negative.
“The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake),” the president wrote on his account. “Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?”
Trump appears to be referring to a survey taken by the conservative polling group the Media Research Center of broadcast coverage of the president between Jan. 1 and April 30.
The group monitored 1,065 evening news stories on CBS, ABC and NBC during that time period and said it determined that “90 percent of the evaluative comments about Trump were negative.”

This needs to be done immediately.
The press has become the enemy of the state. They must be stopped.
It would help if he would stop saying things like this.
It would be a beautiful thing.
Damn right.
Like with children you need to just act. Do not threaten.
If they label their hit pieces as “opinion”, they don’t even have to provide any facts. How is this “news”?
Just do it!
You are in denial. No doubt you’d say to just leave the muzzies alone, and they will not bother us.
Weekly press conferences only on Wednesday.
Then the Control-LEFT media can spend the other six days whining and whimpering.
I think the media can’t stand to be taunted with the facts, and it will make their conduct more egregious in light of his tweets. It serves to highlight the media’s malevolence to the populace, IMO.
I’m fine with the NYC style of diplomacy with the media.
No it wouldn't. What are you talking about?
Punching back, or in some cases punching first, has been the maintstay of the astonishing Trump presidency.
Do you doubt that still?
I’ve said it before .... A news outlet with White House Creds gets caught in a provable lie ... 1 month suspension of creds. A second time, 1 year, a third time, to the end of the administration tenure. We have PROVABLE lies being published, this would be an easy fix.
Kick them out of the WH Press room, turn it into a studio.
Make them freeze in winter and swelter in summer, and get drenched in the rain...............and use PORTA-POTTIES!.................
It would help, tremendously, if he would start DOING THINGS LIKE THIS!
The self-righteous, so-called, self-styled, ‘Main Stream Media’ needs to be taken down a peg or two. Show them the door....................
Trump should right now pull the credentials of CNN and Buzzfeed.
The presstitutes seem to think they have a right to be there; show them otherwise and let them howl. They will go completely un-hinged for all of America to see.
He should start with anyone from CNN and MSNBC
Please Mr. President don’t do it . It will only get worse like getting rid of some of the mid-east dictator who were replaced by something worse . Only the liberals follow these leftist reporters . Your staunch followers are still solidly behind you and gaining strength from the independents and even some middle of the road Dims .
HOORAY President Donald J. Trump
