The mainstream media was terrible during Trump's run for presidency. They thought of him as a joke and now, he's the President.
Since he won, there have been all kinds of fake news stories published aimed at riling up the anti-Trumpers. CNN was totally against Trump, so it was great to see the President call them "fake news" right to one of their reporter's face.
Classic!
