President Trump revealed the winners of his self-proclaimed ‘Fake News’ awards Wednesday night on Twitter -- with The New York Times topping the list.
And the FAKE NEWS winners are... https://t.co/59G6x2f7fD

CNN also came out as a “winner,” with the left-leaning news network making the list four times.
The list, published on GOP.com, noted that “studies have shown that over 90 percent of the media’s coverage of President Trump is negative.” It went on to call 2017 “a year of unrelenting bias, unfair news coverage and even downright fake news.”
Coming in first place was The New York Times’ Paul Krugman for his prediction that the stock markets would never recover from Trump’s election.

In a bit of irony, the Dow Jones industrial average closed above 26,000 for the first time on Wednesday.
The Times was followed by ABC News’ Brian Ross for his botched report that Trump advised former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to make contact with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign.

The list pointed to a false CNN report that Trump had early access to “hacked documents” from WikiLeaks, a video that suggested Trump overfed fish in a visit with the Japanese prime minister and a report that former FBI Director James Comey would deny saying Trump was told he was not under investigation.
The Times appeared on the list again for a false report that the Trump administration hid a report on climate change.
Newsweek sent out a tweet Wednesday evening acknowledging its “award.”

The final “winner” on the list, as Trump described it: “And last, but not least: 'RUSSIA COLLUSION!' Russian collusion is perhaps the greatest hoax perpetrated on the American people. THERE IS NO COLLUSION!”
The website carrying the results of the “Fake News Awards” crashed because it was flooded with visitors after Trump tweeted out the link.
Without naming anyone, Trump also tweeted out his praise for the “many great reporters.”
Despite some very corrupt and dishonest media coverage, there are many great reporters I respect and lots of GOOD NEWS for the American people to be proud of!

And immediately after the awards, all of these media outlets closed shop.
What? That didn't happen? Business as usual? How can that be?

As pointed out previously, the following points are noted:
Trump's approval ratings for year 1 are lower than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT since ratings have been recorded.
Trump lied 2000 times in his first year. Very ballsy to put of Fake New Awards. Trump wins hands down on all things fake.

I don't know... sounds like "the fat boy" got laid after all!
What the heck is "Covfefe"?

one night some months back, Trump apparently dozed of in the middle of a tweet and that word was tweeted by him. He even had the grace to laugh about it. It was used often in memes from that point.
Every one of President Trump's fake news items is factual and the left cannot prove otherwise.

That is so cute. Do you feel better now?
So this is the kind of crap Trump works on instead of doing important things like working on a solution to the impending government shutdown.

He is "winning".

Cut Trump some slack.
He does what his is actually capable of such as rousing anger at campaign rallies, telling lies, groping women, having affairs with porn stars, attacking the media, creating fake news awards, pissing off leaders of foreign countries, dividing the country, taking down the GOP, etc.
It's much easier & natural for him to do these things than to learn what's in the Constitution, understand policy, comprehend the ramification of words & actions, realize that personal loyalty from the AG & FBI are not functions of those institutions.
