President Trump early Saturday slammed CNN for a “vicious” mistake the network made in a report on the Wikileaks scandal.
“Fake News CNN made a vicious and purposeful mistake yesterday. They were caught red handed, just like lonely Brian Ross at ABC News (who should be immediately fired for his “mistake”). Watch to see if @CNN fires those responsible, or was it just gross incompetence?” Trump tweeted at 8:02 a.m.
Trump’s reference to ABC News and Ross related to a botched report about former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
Trump followed up 19 minutes later with a caps-laced rant about CNN’s reputation for accuracy.

Everyone knows this is not true, that this could, in fact, be a fraud on the American Public. There are many outlets that are far more trusted than Fake News CNN. Their slogan should be CNN, THE LEAST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS!
