Last year, his administration gave credentials to both Infowars and far-right blog Gateway Pundit, whose DC correspondent Lucian Wintrich characterized its mission to the New York Times as “doing a little trolling of the media in general here.” So it’s far from a surprise that TruNews was able to get in the room in the first place or that Trump took Szall’s question.
The press really did change in the 1960s—for the better.
Journalism, once the servant of established power, became over those two key decades its opponent and judge.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner or operator of nearly 200 television stations in the U.S., would be forcing its news anchors to record a promo about “the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.”

Sit down everybody. C'mon. You know the dishonest media they'll say, "He didn't get a standing ovation." You know why? No -- you know why? Because everybody stood and nobody sat. So they will say, "He never got a standing ovation," right?. They are the worst.
And I want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news. It's fake, phony, fake.
I saw one story recently where they said, "Nine people have confirmed." There're no nine people. I don't believe there was one or two people. Nine people. And I said, "Give me a break." Because I know the people, I know who they talk to. There were no nine people. But they say "nine people." And somebody reads it and they think, "Oh, nine people. They have nine sources."
They shouldn't be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody's name. Let their name be put out there. Let their name be put out.
And they shouldn't use sources. They should put the name of the person. You will see stories dry up like you've never seen before.
But the First Amendment gives all of us -- it gives it to me, it gives it to you, it gives it to all Americans, the right to speak our minds freely. It gives you the right and me the right to criticize fake news and criticize it strongly.
We don't win anymore. When was the last time we won? Did we win a war? Did we win anything? Do we win anything? We're going to win. We're going on win big, folks. We're going to start winning again, believe me. We're gonna win.
But with the Keystone -- so they spent hundreds of millions of dollars with bloodsucker consultants -- you know, sucking the blood out of the company, don't worry, I've used them all my life, OK? Don't worry, we're going to get it approved, I'm connected, I'm a lobbyist, don't worry.
